UCONN Jim Calhoun could lose NCAA title bonus

Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun could lose a lucrative bonus for winning the national championship if the team's NCAA Academic Progress Rate score doesn't meet standards.

From the New Haven Register:

UConn should learn in a few weeks whether it meets APR standards, but it’s a virtual certainty that the program will fall short of the standard score of 925.

That means Calhoun could suffer a double-whammy: Not only could his bonus be kept from him, but per his contract, he must also donate $100,000 to UConn’s general scholarship fund if the men’s hoops program fails to meet APR standards. Calhoun’s total loss would be $187,500.

Calhoun was not available for comment Thursday.

The Huskies would also lose at least one, and most likely two scholarships for next season (on top of the scholarship they’ve already been docked by the NCAA committee on infractions).
