CSU Rams considering lifetime deal for coach Niko Medved

CSU Rams athletic director John Weber stated he has not been contacted by the Minnesota Gophers regarding coach Niko Medved. This follows the Gophers' recent firing of their coach, Ben Johnson. Rumors suggest Minnesota is interested in Medved, a Twin Cities native and successful coach. To counter this, Weber may consider offering Medved a lifetime contract similar to one given to another coach at CU Boulder. Medved's current contract runs through 2029, with a buyout clause that could be appealing to a Big Ten school. Minnesota aims to hire a new coach by March 24, coinciding with the reopening of the transfer portal.
