Sendek Contract Extended

North Carolina State Coach Herb Sendek and Athletic Director Les Robinson have agreed on a contract extension that will run through the 2002-03 season.

Sendek will get a package worth more than $500,000 a year beginning next season.

The contract, approved by the university’s board of trustees, will take effect July 1, 1998.

With a $125,000 base salary--up from $110,000 last season--Sendek’s deal balloons with revenue from summer basketball camps, his shoe contract with Adidas and revenue from television and radio deals.

Sendek coached three seasons at Miami of Ohio before taking the North Carolina State job before last season.
