Coach Keating's Offer Explained

After Wednesday night's win over USF, Bronco head coach Kerry Keating offered to pay up to $100 for Santa Clara on-campus students to stay in a hotel for the Gonzaga game because the dorms are closed until Sunday.  Here is how Santa Clara on campus students can go about getting the $100 credit for a local hotel from Coach Keating.  See below for all the details.

1. Coach Keating's offer is only valid for Santa Clara students living on- campus during the Winter 2013 quarter.

2. On-campus students should call the basketball office ASAP at 408-554-4031 and be prepared to give you SCU access card number, name and email address. If no one answers, leave a message with that information and your cell phone number.

3.  SCU will verify your access card and SCU on-campus residency.  When the student's on-campus residency is verified, through the SCU access office, SCU basketball will contact the student to book the hotel reservation.  Coach Keating will give a $100 credit for each room booked. The student will need a credit card and the $100 credit will be given at the local hotel close to campus. Students will be responsible for any incidentals, additional room costs, etc.  The rooms are a minimum of two and a maximum of four people per room; and SCU will help put together roommates.
