TUSCALOOSA, Ala. -- The University of Alabama has no immediate plans to discipline football coach Mike Price, Robert Witt, the school's president, said Tuesday.

Price told The Spokesman-Review of Spokane, Wash., he didn't know if his job was in jeopardy.

"Hopefully, the university will release a statement and this will be over," Price said. "Sometimes people make mistakes. I really can't say anything until the university makes a statement."

According to newspaper and broadcast reports, Price met at least twice with athletic director Mal Moore last weekend to discuss Internet-based rumors about alleged inappropriate behavior by Price two weeks ago while he was at a Pensacola, Fla., golf tournament. But neither the school nor Price has commented on what the allegations against Price entailed.

"At present there are no plans to do anything" involving discipline, Witt said.

Witt met briefly with reporters after speaking at a Rotary Club luncheon at a local golf course. He would not say if he had spoken with Price or Moore about Price's behavior.

"As far as I know, there are a lot of rumors out there," Witt said. "I don't think I've ever seen a rumor mill working quite so rapidly."

Appearing in a pro-am event at the Bruno's Memorial Classic on Wednesday in Hoover, Ala., Price said he could not address the issue, which surfaced at a time the Crimson Tide is looking for stability in its troubled football program.

Price declined to say Wednesday what, if anything, he had done to put himself under scrutiny by university officials.

Price, 57, was in Pensacola to play in a pro-am tournament at The Emerald Coast Classic, a PGA Champions Tour event two weeks ago at Moors Golf Club near Milton, Fla., according to newspaper accounts. A party preceded the round.

A playing partner of Price, Tuscaloosa businessman Larry Wilkin, said he saw nothing unusual the day of their round. Price showed up about 30 minutes early for an 8 a.m. tee time and was "in a good mood, fresh."

"I'm still trying to figure out what all the conjecture is about," said Wilkin, who did not attend the pre-tournament party.

Moore hired Price from Washington State last year after Dennis Franchione left abruptly for Texas A&M. Alabama is on probation for NCAA rules violations under coach Mike Dubose, who was forced out in 2000 during a 3-8 season.

Price, hired in December after 14 seasons at Washington State, agreed in principle to a seven-year deal worth about $10 million, but the contract has not been signed.

University of Alabama trustee John H. England said Witt and chancellor Malcolm Portera contacted him last weekend about a situation involving Price.

England said he did not know the details but was told the trustees were being notified in case action against Price was needed.

Appearing at Wednesday's pro-am event, Price was asked if the university's silence was leaving him unable to defend himself. He responded, "No, I think the university is being thorough."

Responding to another question, he said the matter was not a legal issue, but he didn't elaborate.

Price seemed relaxed as he spoke while sitting in an armchair in the clubhouse of Greystone Golf Club. Later he began play, accompanied on the course by three Hoover police bodyguards and his regular state trooper escort.
