If there was a secret planning document inside RG's desk, what would it look like?
1-year = Give Prime everything he needs to win 7-8 games and get to a bowl game while maintaining all the recruiting momentum we have
3-year = Put every effort into getting into the expanded CFP (10-11 wins) by years 2 and 3 through recruiting, strong NIL, great marketing, and facility enhancements. Determine what conference is best for CU.
5-year = Move to the SEC to remain in the warm southern footprint that Prime is working in. Florida to Georgia to Texas to Arizona and off to California is the new footprint. If a multi-year creative financial transitional plan to gain membership to the SEC is needed, then do it, because neither the PAC, nor the Big 12 will ever overtake the SEC and B1G, but I would not sign up to be part of a cold northern conference where we are not recruiting at. Our travel pod could be Colorado, Arizona, Kansas, and Oklahoma, plus playing games in the Southeast brings all our kids home now and then
10-year = One of the big dogs in a 32-team to 48-team super league.
