Stansbury gets new four-year deal

STARKVILLE, Miss. - Mississippi State University says coach Rick Stansbury has signed a new four-year contract.

The 48-year-old Stansbury has posted a 208-115 record in 10 seasons at Mississippi State. He came to the university in 1990 as an assistant coach.

Stansbury's $225,000 base salary was disclosed, but not the Bulldog Foundation supplement. The contract, though the 2011-12 season, is the maximum allowable under state law. It must be approved by the state College Board.

Stansbury made $965,850 in the 2006-07 fiscal year, the last year for which such figures are available. His salary is heavily supplemented by the Bulldog Foundation, which is not required to disclose salary information because it is a private organization.
