Jim Calhoun is expected to have to return his postseason bonus and make a contribution to the university’s general fund if the Academic Progress Rate for the program does not meet NCAA standards.

According to the five-year contract extension Calhoun and UConn agreed upon in May, Calhoun is to receive a bonus equal to three months of his annual salary for winning the NCAA championship. Calhoun’s base salary is $350,000 (he makes nearly $2 million more in speaking and media fees), so that bonus, which would be paid in August, would be about $87,500.

However, the contract also stipulates that such a payment would only be made “if the Academic Progress Rate (APR) ... for the men’s basketball team has been satisfactorily met.” 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.
