For years, the Colorado athletic department has felt hamstrung by legislation that limits the amount of multi-year contracts it can offer to coaches.
That could change as early as this summer.
Senator Kevin Priola has helped to lead the charge for Senate bill 17-041, which would allow CU and other in-state schools, including Colorado State and Northern Colorado, to offer more multi-year contracts to coaches.
Currently, CU and other state schools are limited to six multi-year contracts per campus, with a cap of five years in length on those deals.
