If we hadn’t been so terrible for the last decade plus in the Pac 12, there would be a simmering rivalry with Utah, IMO.
The fact that they are also red makes it a 2 for 1.

It was tried if I recall. No one gave a ****
Because they’re so darn adorable!
Thank god, something needed to pay for that ribeye!
Ya know, I think we will be just fine paying coach prime’s salary and/or matching it if need be.
Colorado vs everybody. Can't even get respect in the worst bathrooms list...

I haven’t been to a game at Kansas, but Nebraska makes sense. The bathroom itself isn’t too bad, it’s just you have to literally leave the stadium to get to it. All the way down to the ground level and halfway to the parking lots. It’s a hike from the visitor seats.
A friend of mine got the trots at a game in Memorial one year, and there were no doors on the toilets. He just had to empty his ass with his Buffs gear on in front of a restroom full of red.
Agree with you on the bathroom location. It is a hike.

WTF?
****tiest story of the day.
Logical that CSU would be on the best list.
When nobody is at the game you have no line and chances are it hasn't gotten filthy yet.
The Prime Effect
Saliman said that at one point CU was projecting a slight decline of about 0.7% in enrollment for the 2023-24 school year, but there is now a projection of an increase of about 0.5%. The difference in those numbers, Saliman said, is “several hundred students.”
“We don’t know exactly why there was that swing, but I suspect (Coach Prime) has something to do with it,” Saliman said. “There’s this excitement and people want to be part of it, including students.”

Weird. Who would have thought?

The Magic Of Nick Saban: Everyone Wants To Go To Alabama
By attracting more than half its current freshman class from outside of Alabama, the football powerhouse took in $50 million more from higher-paying out-of-staters than it did in 2007, the year Saban took over the program.
www.forbes.com
In-state tuition 12,496 USD, Out-of-state tuition 38,314 USD, or an average of $25k
500 additional students x $25k = $12.5M
Coach Prime and his assistants are making $10.1M this year.
Add in all the analysts and CU just got the entire football coaching staff for free.
And that enrollment number will go if they’re successful. They said there was already and $8m fiscal year increase in Athletic donations alone from prior year. That doesn’t even consider the massive jump in revenue from tickets and merch sales, (and eventual concessions) along with bigger and more corporate sponsors.
They generally have an acceptance rate they like the stay around. More applicants means they can take more students and remain at or even lower their acceptance rate. Why is this silly?
I'm not suggesting the visibility that Prime brings isn't going to impact admissions significantly. Mostly in the quality of applicant that we are able to select (which you note) due to a larger pool of applicants.
But we're already maxed out on out-of-state-students (at least the last time I checked). So volume of out of state students isn't the issue, and suggesting that the staff will pay for itself in out of state tuition is silly. I don't expect that revenue to change.
FLounder posted an article that suggests everybody wants to go to Alabama. Everybody from California, Texas, New Jersey and Illinois already wants to go to CU. Again, CU admissions will benefit if we have a good football team - the research is pretty clear there. But we're not Alabama that needs a football team to be desirable.
I wonder if higher demand will lead to more selectivity and higher tuition? Could a great football program be a catalyst in getting the academic reputation back to where it once was or better?
I think that the first one (selectivity) is likely and the second one (tuition) less so. Hopefully on the third (reputation), but that will required sustained success in football to in order to credibly contribute to that effort.

Hope the merch sales spur new additions as the selection over the last 15 years has been in the ****ter. I have not purchased a new hat/shirt/jacket since the 2000's
