I feel like Nebraska is still not playing "big boy" salaries for baseball, but then I'm not familiar with what the rest of the Big Ten pays either.
We got a major "homer" discount from Darin Erstad and I feel like we are still getting one with Bolt, not only because of his Nebraska history, but because we gave him his first (and hopefully ONLY) P5 gig. If I had to guess, I would say Moos told him that each NU sport is like it's own little company and if he "grows the brand" and increased revenues that he & his staff will benefit with increased salaries, down the road. In any event, the table is set for him. "All" he needs to do is keep things moving forward and hopefully take things to the next level. He's in a Good Spot, in more ways than one, and I think he knows it.
