I understand what you are getting at but if 1 other school offers him an outlandish amount - does that now place it at a true market value? Yes, "overpaying" turns into a personal decision due to the fact you don't think that item is worth it, in your opinion, the other consumer "overpaid".  However if a multitude are willing to pay a certain price then, yes, it becomes a measurable and then a market price.
I'm not sure we can apply too much of that here because only two or three schools are pursuing  one of a commodity. Set your price and stick to it is probably a safe bet - of course unless you are talking about a JC, MK, J Wooden or Geno, but we aren't. D Hurley is unproven in the national arena and in my opinion should not be paid on the level of anyone on that list - at least not now.
If UConn is to hire D Hurley, anywhere above$1.5 per annum makes no sense for first 3-4 years. Giving KO $3M was/is plain stupidity but a contract is a contract
