RENTON, Wash. (AP) – Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll says he’s disappointed his team has been docked two practices next offseason for excessive physical contact in a minicamp in June. Seattle will be docked the first two days of its 2015 mandatory minicamp and will be permitted one 2 1/2-hour practice on the final day.
SEATTLE (AP) – Rutgers’ debut as a member of the Big Ten Conference will likely be Washington State’s farewell to Seattle. The Cougars open the season with their annual game at Seattle’s CenturyLink Field tonight, hosting the Scarlet Knights. For Washington State, this could be its final “home” game in Seattle. The new Pac-12 television contract boosted the finances of every school in the conference and athletic director Bill Moos wants to bring all Cougars games back to Pullman, Washington.
