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.
