Let's cut the **** and get to the most important question... Is he a supporter of Athletics?Initially, I like the hire from what I’ve read. Seems like a guy with a good background in both business and academics that should run CU pragmatically.
Thanks. Good catch. Seems like a very solid leader. I can see why a guy like that would be the sole finalist.The Regents already came out with it this morning:

UND has a very highly respected hockey program. Outside of that, it’s not really known for athletic success. @FLounder should be able to shed some light on this, though.Let's cut the **** and get to the most important question... Is he a supporter of Athletics?
Meh. Comments by some pissed off alumni on a message board should be taken with a grain of salt. A guy can’t be all things to all people and he obviously had a difficult decision to make there. If the guy was in politics, he sure as Hell knows how to raise money. We don’t need a Boy Scout.That isn't particularly reassuring
CU has always been a Republican led school. They weren't gonna let that changeI am curious how CU, a liberal school in a liberal town can choose so many Republican presidents.
Not sure of the full history, but below is the breakdown for a bit
Bruce Benson (R) - Oil Tycoon
Hank Brown (R) - Politician
Elizabeth Hoffman (?) - But I believe it is rumored that Condoleezza Rice (R) was the runner up
Before people start getting all over me, I am actually liking it, keeping things balanced out

Care to elaborate?We. Are. ****ed.
Yikes.The guy doesn’t deserve a lick of credit for any athletic accomplishment. In his first year on the job, men’s and women’s basketball, women’s volleyball, and football, all won the big sky and subsequently qualified for the NCAA playoffs. A school first. Add the Men’s Hockey National championship in the same year, the schools 8th, and the media will be proclaiming he’s a champion of athletics. Don’t be mistaken. The media will bring up our state of the art IPF (which rivals any FCS school and the majority of FBS too)as an accomplishment of his, bull****, we broke ground on that way before his arrival. The man rarely showed up to sporting events to begin with, and once the locals and alumni soured on him, he refused to show up.
He’s a ****ing clown in a 3 piece suit. Has that super weird kid from middle school vibe. Darren Rovell-esque.
and does he have a bee policy? Is he pro-hive?Will he find a cure for cancer?
