Tony Bennett gets another well-deserved raise.

I think that Husky fans are going to have to come up with a better line than, “Just wait until Tony Bennett leaves.”

I think it’s fairly obvious by now that Tony likes it at WSU. Earlier in the offseason, he turned down an offer to become the head coach at Indiana. This offer was believed to be in the ballpark of $2.5 million, while his 2007-08 salary at Washington State was a mere $800,000. Cougar athletics did the right (and smart) thing yesterday, restructuring Bennett’s contract and giving him a raise that puts him at $1 million a year now. The contract was also extended by an additional year, through 2015.
