In an image likely to remain indelible for Colorado basketball fans following last week's emotional win at USC, athletic director Rich George showed Tad Boyle the love by wrapping the Buffaloes' head coach in a jubilant bear hug.
On Wednesday, George and CU's Board of Regents showed Boyle the money.
As expected, the automatic one-year extension for Boyle that became official Jan. 1 was approved during the Board of Regents meeting. The terms of the deal, however, were altered slightly, and assuming Boyle still is in charge next fall he will go into his 10th season at the helm with a significant raise.
