Frank: Setup pushes students away
■ Continued from Page 7A
out the bleacher seating behind
the team benches and behind
the south basket, which before
was student seating, to add the
ater-style seating.
The new setup cut down on
student floor seating and pushed
the stands back a good three to
four feet. The athletic depart
ment also added an extra row of
fold-up metal seats on the court
opposite the benches. The new
row of chairs stretches all the
way across the west side of the
court.
The setup is obviously nice
for the older, big-money donor
types, but what does it do for the
students, the ones who are mak
ing the noise and making the
“scoreboard bounce,” as Kent al
ways likes to say?
What it does is push students
farther away from the court.
They are now three to four feet
farther away than they used to
be. And remember when it used
to be fun to heckle opposing
players as they took the ball out
of bounds under the basket?
Well that section is now used
for comfortable theater-style
seating.
The atmosphere that used to
be so intimidating for opposing
teams is now more of a walk in
the park.
“I am anxious to go to Mac
Court,” Washington head coach
Bob Bender said. “It doesn’t look
like the fans are right on top of
you anymore.”
It sucks to be a fan in Mac
Court these days.

Price reported to reap Rose Bowl reward
Mike Price is expected
to sign a five-year deal
that will pay him
$450,000 a season
The Associated Press
PULLMAN, Wash. — Wash
ington State head football coach
Mike Price is expected to sign a
long-term contract that will make
him one of the highest-paid
coaches in the Pacific-10 Confer
ence, a newspaper reported
Tuesday.
Price, who took the Cougars to
the Rose Bowl and a 10-2 season
record, will sign a contract that
pays him about $450,000 a sea
son in salary and guaranteed out
side income, The Spokesman-Re
view of Spokane reported,
quoting “a highly placed source.”
WSU athletic director Rick
Dickson declined to discuss
terms of the offer, but said an
agreement is expected soon.
Price was out of town on a re
cruiting trip and was unavailable
for comment.
Price currently earns about
$113,000 in base salary and an
other $140,000 from outside
sources that include TV and ra
dio contracts, an annuity, foot
ball camps and speaking fees.
The new offer, for more than
five seasons, would move Price
near the top of Pac-10 coaches’
salaries. Only Paul Hackett of
Southern California, Bruce Sny
der of Arizona State and Stan
ford’s Tyrone Willingham make
more than $450,000 a year.
Price, in his ninth year at
WSU, led the No. 9 Cougars to
the Rose Bowl, where they lost to
No. 1 Michigan 21-16 and fin
ished with a 10-2 record.
