LARAMIE -- In response to the financial impact the coronavirus pandemic is having on college sports, athletic departments across the country are turning to pay cuts as the most immediate course of action to try to make up for lost revenue.
For example, Iowa State is expecting a $5 million shortfall to its athletic department’s annual budget. So athletic director Jamie Pollard announced earlier this week that all coaches and certain additional staff members would have their salaries reduced for one year as well as a one-year suspension of coaches’ bonuses and incentives.
At Wyoming, the trimming is starting at the top.
