Tony Vitello bonus for Tennessee Baseball College World Series title

Vitello’s contract stipulates that he will receive 40% of his base salary as a bonus for winning the College World Series. The seventh-year coach has a base salary of $350,000, which is part of his $1.5 million annual salary.

He earned the bonus after the Vols captured the program’s first national title Monday with a 6-5 win against Texas A&M at Charles Schwab Field.

The contract gives Vitello one bonus per year, based on the team’s highest achievement, which is winning the CWS. He did not receive a bonus for winning the SEC regular season title or the SEC tournament title.
