2024 Colorado Football Schedule & Future Schedules

CSU holds the TV rights for the game and has an opposing player promoting it. :ROFLMAO:
To be fair, CBS holds the rights, not CSU, and this is probably going to be the most profitable game for CBS all season considering what they pay for MWC inventory vs what this game will do in ratings.

Right now CBS has 10 unannounced B1G games throughout the season and I wouldn't be surprised if this one was earmarked as their top choice of any game all season. Maybe with the exception of USC at Michigan, which has already been announced.

They have to put (I think) two MWC games on big CBS every year, and the CinC trophy games (specifically Navy at Air Force) don't count. There's no way they were not taking this game.

Question for one of you on the Cincinnati game. The "ESPN family of networks" would not include ESPN+ right?

I would bet that, if The Buffs start 3-0, the week 4 home game v. Baylor will be on Fox. They obviously love coming to Boulder, and we will be back to driving the narrative again.

Not a ton of big games that weekend, too. You've got Tenn @ Oklahoma, UCLA @ LSU, and Utah @ OSU.

Fox did already commit to broadcasting the Illinois @ NU game, but no time slotted yet.
 
ESPN updated their FPI today. Colorado comes in at #36. They’re really high on several spring portal additions we added (and don’t even have the full list!).

NDSU - N/A
Nebraska - 41
CSU - 105
Baylor - 55
UCF - 32
Kansas St - 22
Arizona - 24
Cinci - 65
Texas Tech - 29
Utah - 27
Kansas - 17
Oklahoma State - 26

So the negative chaotic narratives get clicks, and also likely draw haters to the TV to watch it all blow up, and then if and when we win, they will come back over and over to hopefully see Prime fail. 3D TV Chess, all for it

So 7/9 Big 12 opponents are rated higher. It’s actually an impressive list for the Big12
 
Good Chance Broncos win roughly 4 games. If they lose their first 2 to open the season, I could see them ending at about 3-14 for the year.

One thing with Kansas is their QB situation. That Jason Bean kid is gone and Jalon Daniels has NEVER stayed healthy for an entire season there.

Depends on how Baylor does. They have to go to Utah and play Air Force at home. Could very easily be 3-0 vs. a bad 1-2.

Watch for that UCF game. Down week in the Big 10. If you get a 4-0 CU against a UCF team with a winning record, that could be attractive.
 
Pretty sure that there were only three major networks airing games in 1990. I think Fox was only using the FSN channels and I seem to remember that did not start until the mid to late 90's
Yeah, pretty sure Fox didn't have sports at all until they went big and landed the NFL nfc rights, which was 94.
