- An automatic one-year extension will be invoked for Colorado head coach Tad Boyle according to Buffzone.com. The report says that, “the one-year extension is automatically invoked unless one side — either Boyle and his agent, or the university — gives notice about opting out of the extension prior to Dec. 31 each year. CU athletic director Rick George confirmed to BuffZone.com neither side gave notice before the recent deadline, adding another year to a contract that pays Boyle a shade under $1.425 million per year in base and supplemental salary.” More details on Boyle’s extension can be found HERE.
