A sports agency says University of Cincinnati men’s basketball coach Mick Cronin owes at least $206,000 in unpaid fees and interest related to contract negotiations.
The New York City-based agency, now known as The Legacy Agency, says it negotiated Cronin’s first contract with the university in 2006 as well as five subsequent amendments. That includes a 2014 extension that is expected to pay him more than $2 million a year through March 2021.
The lawsuit, filed March 2 in a New York state court, says Cronin agreed to pay the agency 4 percent of all guaranteed compensation.
