What’s the buyout for Dorrell and staff vs what they have allocated/budgeted for stadium projects?

Has it worked as a recruiting tool? The results on the field suggest no.
Compared to? CSU now has a better game day experience for fans than CU does.
The plan over the next few years has been said to be sound system, bathrooms and balch renovations. They’re either taking loans or they have the money saved for it.

For what CU paid to build the Champions Center, we could have instead had a $10M a year head coach budget for 15+ years. By your logic, that would have been a much better investment, no?
Says who? CSU fan? The fact that they have a New Belgium area in the end zone?
Been there. It's a nice stadium. They should be proud of it.
Fans go to games to watch good football and winning football. The amenities are a nice sidebar
Hard to quantify. It’s pretty much the only positive thing any recruit says about their visit here. Of the good recruits who have signed here, which of them wouldn’t have if the CC was never built?

LOL the WIFI was upgraded previous to the COVID season. You didn't notice all those grey/white ugly ass boxes placed all over Folsom? Clearly that was worth the $100k RG pissed away on it...works so well the fans have no idea it was installed...
I'd dare ya to dream up a story of mismanagement as sad as this RG saga is.
That's not an answer. And it's not that simple. Sounds like they don't and you wish they did
That’s great. I’m sure their fans wish they had a team to be proud of too!
and they sure draw well because of that nice stadium
I actually think the WiFi in the stadium worked very well during the Arizona game, which was packed AF

Again, making **** up. The CC is a necessary football facility. Speakers are not. Stop with this ****.

Had we been able to hire say Mel Tucker or Steve Sarkisian for $6-7m/year and spend the rest on an elite staff and recruiting infrastructure, uh yeah, they probably could have built a CC, IPF and already completed the Folsom renovations because the product on the field would likely be really good
Yes and no. That stops being true as people get older and it becomes a family decision to purchase season tickets and commit all those fall Saturdays to going to football games. At the time when we start having the money to afford to really spend a lot on entertainment, there's a lot about going to CU football games that makes the experience mediocre if you're not a big football fan.
When was that? Before or after it became evident that Karl Dorrell is burning this program down
I’m unconvinced that the upgrades in question are > $10 million. I’m also unconvinced that the AD has that amount of money banked, especially with donations way down.

No.
**** no.
Whizzer White could come back from the dead and I’d say no. We need fresh blood. **** like this is why we’re in this situation.

You ripped Folsom pretty badly and said upgrades should be prioritized just like the CC and IPF and even suggested that stadium improvements are necessary “to remain competitive in recruiting”. But now you’re trying to tell me and Nik that Folsom isn’t bad at all.
If you don’t think a dollar should be spent on anything besides a buyout, fine, but don’t pretend you suddenly don’t think Folsom is overdue for improvements.
Thanks for side stepping my question. I never once said improvements weren’t needed. I said prioritizing them over the coaching staff and product on the field was dumb. I’ve also stated today those were a huge priority when CU was winning 10, 5, 5, 5, and 4 (bowl game) games, and seemingly just needed a little extra to get over the hump. The last 2+ months have changed everything about how I view this program
1) where has Mr. Bloom demonstrated talent for running a major (college) Athletic Department?
2/3/6) what does this have to do with running a major (college) Athletic Department?
4) where has Mr. Bloom demonstrated his savvy running a major (college)Athletic Department?
5) how does this help Mr. Bloom negotiate contracts?
7) I love them too. That makes me a good AD candidate?
8) what about being a Buff makes him more qualified for this job than an AD with experience?
The main job of the AD is 1a) fundraising and 1b) crushing football coach hires. None of what you’ve written indicates that he has any acumen for doing 1b even if he could possibly do 1a semi-competently.

So you’re saying yes then? The CC and IPF were a waste of money since we didn’t spend that on coaching staff instead?
But he played football for us briefly so obviously this will work.
1.) Find Forever Buff
2.) ?????
3.) Profit
If I had the choice spending $10m/year on the coaching staff for 15 years vs building those two, I would have chosen the staff knowing we’d be paying for those with cash within 4-5 years.
