Nacho problem. Stay out of this.boooorito
I watched 3 Tulane games last year all of them were better than the CU game played the same day.
I DVR 6-8 games on any given Sat., I don't get on the net until I've watched most of them.
Done this way I can judge where CU is on a competitive level, B12, SEC & ACC...I don't bother with the B+ unless it's a game where I know nu is going to get their ass kicked.
Republicans.What do you call apologists for Christians that try to cover up rape and murder?

You have bean deceived.All these puns throw me for a chalupa.
What year?Well, my freshman year, we pulled up to a Taco Bell (believe on baseline) and it was surrounded by cops. About 4 CU players (starters among them) were being arrested for brandishing weapons…in a Taco Bell.
Yelled at a bunch of frat boys in a Lexus that they were taking too long, then kept yelling even after they'd ordered. One of them punched me in the face and I laughed; they weren't quite sure what to do after that so went back to their car and drove off without collecting their taco bell.What did you do to deserve it?
This is unfortunately where a lot of people go when you talk about the past. SI did us no favorsDefine “thugs” (and “renegades” just for good measure)
Where is this $50MM/year figure coming from? I’ve not seen that.
I think @Not Sure is part of the group of people affiliated with CU that think CU is on the same level academically as Stanford, Duke, Northwestern, and Vanderbilt.
Here's the reality: CU's a hell of a school, but its not on that level.
“Single biggest recruiting sex scandal in college football history” in which no players, coaches, or anyone connected to the program were ever charged, convicted, or even brought to trial…. for ANY crime:Or maybe like Barnett had probably the single biggest recruiting sex scandal in college football history?
Don't bother with the facts.“Single biggest recruiting sex scandal in college football history” in which no players, coaches, or anyone connected to the program were ever charged, convicted, or even brought to trial…. for ANY crime:
“A grand jury investigation into whether booze and sex were used to entice Colorado football recruits ended with an indictment against just one person — a former low-level school employee accused Tuesday of soliciting a prostitute for himself.
The grand jury accused only Nathan Maxcey in its indictment, making no mention of university officials, students or recruits.” (Arizona Daily Sun, Aug. 24, 2004.)
And this was a grand jury—re “You can get a grand jury to indicte a ham sandwich.”
Maybe I misunderstood the comment… was that meant to be sarcastic or ironic? I’m also curious: which other “recruiting sex scandals” was it bigger than?
I like that term "brands". What makes a good brand? CU has not been relevant for over 20 years, but I think has a better brand than Utah which have been a very successful program for awhile now. But yes, I'm biased.Looking at brands and # of schools I don’t see how Big12 gets better deal than Pac10.
Given the understanding of most of the hardcore fans that pretty much nothing came from that whole situation beyond the reputational and PR hit, I think the fans tend to underestimate how much scar tissue that left in the AD and the school administration in terms of preferring to avoid even the whiff of impropriety and the impact that has had on the school's willingness to go all in to be competitive in football.Don't bother with the facts.
They will adjust the facts to fit their agenda.
It is sad that nobody was able to sue Mary Keenan for the damage she did to so many young men.
In no way arguing that the CU program was full of choir boys but after Keenan and Paula Woodward and the rest were done, and with the pathetic and disgusting cowering response of Betsy and the rest of the CU administration the general public perception was that anyone on the CU football team, especially anyone Black but also including the white players, was an out of control rapist.
I know for a fact that that team had a significant number of high quality young men who suffered significant blows to their reputations because of this made up scandal.
What should have been the best time of their lives was turned into them having to defend themselves against public opinion created by the political greed and aspirations of Keenan

The impact is still being strongly felt.Given the understanding of most of the hardcore fans that pretty much nothing came from that whole situation beyond the reputational and PR hit, I think the fans tend to underestimate how much scar tissue that left in the AD and the school administration in terms of preferring to avoid even the whiff of impropriety and the impact that has had on the school's willingness to go all in to be competitive in football.
I'd start by questioning, in 2003, how much* of the current school administration was in their current roles? employed by CU in some capacity?Given the understanding of most of the hardcore fans that pretty much nothing came from that whole situation beyond the reputational and PR hit, I think the fans tend to underestimate how much scar tissue that left in the AD and the school administration in terms of preferring to avoid even the whiff of impropriety and the impact that has had on the school's willingness to go all in to be competitive in football.
The only one left is Phil. That should tell you everything you need to know.I'd start by questioning, in 2003, how much* of the current school administration was in their current roles? employed by CU in some capacity?
"how much" should probably be both a function of quantity of people and impact of their roles
plenty to debate here

FlatironsI mean, this is subjective af, and anything that has BOTH Iowa schools above the majority of P5 schools is very shady at best, but what really pisses me off is our academic ranking. I mean, haven't we been blowing everything else off so that we can be academically 'elite?
It just confirms what I've known for years now. CU Boulder has declined in every way since I went to school here, and there doesn't seem to be any interest at all in actually reversing that trend. It's not that we're **** in football. We're **** in anything, and the ****wads in charge are just fine with that.
Haven’t we all?I've been punched in the face in that drivethru.
We still went in.No wonder the kids don’t want to come to Boulder.
We had an issue back when I was there. Local Denver gang bangers wanted to fight some of our out of state players because of colors. Thats were it was going to happen until the cops showed up. No player were arrested that time.I’m 35. You do the math.

I'm of the firm opinion that you are correct here, and also that there is one constant in all of this: Phil Distefano. I honestly don't know why he hasn't been moved to greener pastures.I mean, this is subjective af, and anything that has BOTH Iowa schools above the majority of P5 schools is very shady at best, but what really pisses me off is our academic ranking.
