Coronavirus cancellations hitting CU Buffs, CSU Rams coaches in wallet, too

The cancellation of March Madness will likely be felt in the wallets of coaches Tad Boyle and Niko Medved, too.

The spread of the coronavirus that led to an abrupt end of the college basketball season a week ago could leave the men’s basketball coaches at CU and CSU short of at least $130,000 in potential incentives.

Boyle’s contract with the Buffs calls for a $105,000 bonus for his team participating in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, which was canceled last Thursday. Despite a recent five-game losing streak, the Buffs (21-11) were expected to be selected for the 68-team field.
