If youâre the last person on Earth wondering why so many people are frustrated with the reputation of college sports, thereâs the case of Jim Calhoun. UConnâs resident curmudgeon and head basketball coach just won the national title after serving a suspension in a cheating scandal. And then more allegations came out. Then Kemba Walker said heâs only read one book. Jamal Coombs-McDaniel was arrested for marijuana possession. Rumors surfaced that the Husky was never spayed. Itâs been tough. And now, Calhoun is going to feel it where it counts.
According to this report, Calhoun is set to lose $187,500 due to the expected low APR for his program. His contract states that if his team falls below 925 (50% graduation), which the story says is a âvirtual certaintyâ, he forfeits bonuses and owes the program money. That means the $87,500 he was set to earn for winning the championship will not be paid out to him and, on top of that, heâll have to write the school a check for $100,000. We could say that winning doensât come cheap, but Josh Nochimson already taught him that.
