Relationships and a love for the Northwest — not money — are the reasons baseball coach Pat Casey is staying at Oregon State."It came down to the people who are here," said Casey, who has turned down an offer to coach at Notre Dame and will remain with the Beavers."I love Corvallis, Oregon and the Northwest," Casey said, "and the relationships I have made at Oregon State are very important to me." Casey, 47, was in South Bend, Ind., Tuesday and Wednesday visiting with Notre Dame officials, who offered him a financial package beginning at about $300,000 per year.
