Speculation that Texas would lure UVA baseball coach Brian O’Connor with its millions and millions of dollars came to an end Sunday.
O’Connor ended it with a tweet.

O’Connor, 45, signed a seven-year contract extension in 2014 worth $5 million before bonuses. He is due a $250,000 longevity bonus this week.
Texas recently parted ways with long-time coach Augie Garrido, who was paid in excess of a million dollars a year in the job.
The easy assumption is that UT will surpass that figure to lure a successor.
O’Connor has coached UVA to 13 NCAA Tournament appearances in his 13-year tenure, with four trips to the College World Series and the 2015 national title among his accomplishments.
His teams have gone 596-223-2 (.727) over his run.
