For the first time, Colorado's entire football coaching staff is under contract.

On Thursday, the CU Board of Regents voted 7-1 to approve the contracts for 20 coaches, including 10 football assistants.

New legislation adopted last year has allowed CU and other state schools to offer contracts to all of its coaches for the first time. Prior to the new legislation, the entire CU campus was limited to six contracts, and all of those were used in the athletic department.

Now, there is no limit on the number of contracts CU can provide.
