NOTES FROM ECU AND BEYOND...

Compiled from staff reports
and electronic dispatches
C-USA affiliates with new Birmingham Bowl
Conference USA has reached a four-year
agreement with the Birmingham Bowl to provide a team for its annual game
beginning with the inaugural 2006 contest. The C-USA representative will
play an opponent from the Big East Conference at historic Legion Field, the
home of UAB football.
"We are all very pleased about this
bowl opportunity in Birmingham," said Commissioner Britton Banowsky.
"Birmingham is important to Conference USA and we are committed to bringing
college sporting events to the city. It is particularly helpful to have a
game in proximity to many of our members."
The inaugural Birmingham Bowl will be
played on Saturday, December 23 and will be televised by ESPN.
UNCW,
new coach Moss get contract done
UNC-Wilmington signed basketball coach
Benny Moss to a five-year contract that will pay him $170,000 in annual
salary. Bouses could push his base pay beyond $200,000, according to a
Wilmington Star-News report.
The UNCW board of trustees approved the
contract on Friday. It includes stipulations for Moss to receive outside
income from such sources as radio and TV shows or endorsements.
Moss will be paid a bonus of $10,000
for each game the Seahawks play in the NCAA tournament, according to the
contract. He will be paid the same bonus for reaching the semifinals of the
National Invitational Tournament.
Three NCSU D-linemen are first round picks
N.C. State's athletic web site has
reported that three Wolfpack defensive linemen Mario Williams, Manny
Lawson and John McCargo were all selected in the first round of the NFL
draft on Saturday.
There was very little drama at the
beginning when Williams was selected No. 1 by the Houston Texans. Twelve
hours before they made their selection official, Williams had already come
to contact terms with the Texans, thus becoming the first N.C. State player
ever to be taken No. 1 in the NFL draft. Former Wolfpack quarterback Roman
Gabriel was taken No. 1 in the old AFL Draft.
Williams' running mate at defensive end
had to wait a little longer. Lawson, a Goldsboro native, had his name called
when the San Francisco 49rs made him the 22nd pick of the first round. Four
picks later, McCargo joined the first round party when he went 26th to
Buffalo.
