Boise State Player Gets Jail

Sat., June 21, 1997

Compiled From Wire Services

Joe Wyatt, leading scorer on last season’s Boise State basketball team, has been ordered to spend four days in jail and fined $203.50 for disturbing the peace, stemming from an incident last fall in Boise. The sentence also put Wyatt on probation for 12 months and ordered him to perform 80 hours of community service.

Nebraska’s new women’s basketball coach, Paul Sanderford, will make at least 40 percent more than the previous coach, Angela Beck. Snaderford, who previously coach Western Kentucky, will have TV and radio shows, which Beck did not.

He was introduced amid allegations the university could have found a woman to replace Beck, and that Beck was not paid as much because of her gender.
