Preparing to Coug it with Bennett


WSU is already trying to prevent national coach of the year Tony Bennett from leaving the farm down in the palouse. According to the Seattle Times:


Some influential Washington State alumni concerned about retaining national coach of the year Tony Bennett have launched a drive to raise money to try to entice Bennett to remain at WSU. Cougars athletic director Jim Sterk said Tuesday an e-mail campaign to alumni in recent weeks has raised "pledges of upwards of a quarter-million dollars."


Only a quarter million bucks? Thats not gonna keep him there. He's in a contract right now that pays him two million over five years. He's gonna get at least one million a year from a "big time" program. My guess is that he'll go to a Big 10 program like Michigan or Minnesota and get the hell out of Pullman.
