Now that the Colorado athletic department knows it has the luxury of offering more contracts to coaches, the work is underway to figure out how to use those contracts.
Last month, Governor John Hickenlooper signed Senate bill 17-041, which will allow more contracts for those in the athletic department. For years, the Buffs have been hamstrung by state legislation that limited state schools to just six contracts per campus.
CU has been using all six in athletics, but no longer operating with that restriction gives the Buffs better opportunities to hire and retain quality coaches.
