 NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Minnesota coach Glen Mason says he has been busy preparing his Golden Gophers for Virginia and the Music City Bowl, leaving negotiations on a new contract extension to his agent. Time may be running out.
As of Thursday afternoon, Mason didn't know if he'll get an extension before Saturday night — when contracts for his assistant coaches expire — even though he has a year remaining on his seven-year deal. A school attorney told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that Minnesota doesn't want Mason coaching without a renewal.
"I'd be less than truthful if I didn't say that I've been thinking about it because it's important to a lot of people around me — my coaches, their families and my family," Mason said. "But I really try to put it to the back burner because a lot of responsibilities I have here, and I literally don't have any time to spend on it."
