Arizona Athletics: Coaches to take 20 percent pay cut to save money

With the effects of the Corona Virus pandemic still ongoing, things are getting a little tough for everyone, even Arizona Athletics.

As you may have been following, the University of Arizona Athletic Department will see a $7.5 million shortfall this year, and there’s doubting, that a large impact of that has been because of the cancelled seasons, in addition to the standard operating costs that would have been there anyways.

Even more frustrating, is seeing the UofA battle budget issues just in the different colleges itself, putting some people on furlough. But luckily, we haven’t really yet seen any sort of similar ramifications extend to the Athletic Department to some degree as well.
