Colorado state government allows athletics contract exemption

John Hickenlooper’s actions today as governor led to a huge Wyn-coup for the Buffs. Forced pun aside, the governor of Colorado just signed a bill into law that allows the athletic departments of state universities, namely CSU and CU-Boulder, an exemption from the multi-year contract limits present in state law.

Gov. Hickenlooper has signed Senate Bill 41, which means the #cubuffs, CSU and other schools can now offer multi-year deals to more coaches

This may seem like a tangential problem or a technicality, but this is a huge deal for the Buffs.
