CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues
- Thread starter InTheBuff
- Start date
Coincidently MHver3 (the WVa guy that thinks he knows everything) tweeted this morning that a very prominent booster for Colorado is now
threatening to pull all funding from the school if CU doesn't start actively seeking a way to get off the sinking PAC12 ship.
I find this laughable but interesting none the less.
It really seems to me that just in the last 4-5 days there's more and more smoke that the PAC is dead.

only for academics which blows my mind as I'd think the Front Range Denver Metro tv would make much more sense than Cal
I didn't know we had a prominent booster.
There is no single booster for CU that has type of juice, at least not to my knowledge.
Probably @manhattanbuff and his crypto portfolio
It’s Prime.
So, at some point will somebody summarize the 24/7 thing for us non-subscribers after the 24 hour, mutual "we know something you don't" time has elapsed? It's pretty tiresome to have that pop up over and over. Why not just stay over there and stroke each other rather than constantly posting it over here. It doesn't add anything to this site.

I don't think what he's saying is true. I mean I guess he could be talking about Solich, but a family friend of mine worked for GS at Cordillera as a fairly high level consultant and he's got club level seats.
He's said Solich has decreased what he's giving a couple of times.
Doom.

CU leaning towards Big XII. That's it.
Yeah- I really don't get this one. Their AD is in serious financial distress from their stadium project. They are sure a fit from an academic perspective.
Thanks, sorry if I sound bitter, not a good morning so far.
Sure it does. I have a sub to 247, as do many others on this board. However, I almost never visit the site because 99% of the posts on that site are painful to read, and they end up having 50 threads on the exact same topic with the same group of idiots reposting their all of their ****ty takes.
Someone posting the link here allows me to see it, click it, read the information and get the **** out post haste. In other words, I appreciate the effort.
The short version? In the Buff has been fully erect since the referenced post went up.
Like uglyrat for instance? Terrible handle, nonstop repetitive posts and spelling errors. One of the worst posters of all time on any message
board.
How about we just go HARD into the Big12 and try and pull a Texas and Run the conference our way, let Prime come in hot and shape it the way we want it to be and juice the payouts and build the infrastructure over there into the P3

There’s substantial smoke IMO. Baylor AD added his smoke this morning. The P12 situation is now known, at least to the presidents and ADs. It’s bleak. They are scrambling. Something real is afoot IMO
I don’t disagree with sentiment on Cal, but when I play out scenarios for CU joining the B1G, I have a hard time getting above fifth in the pecking order from the PAC members, behind W, UO, Furd, and Cal.
The one thing that CU could’ve done, which Oregon did, is to be really good in football. All of those schools, even Cal, have been more competitive than CU the last decade. Admittedly, Cal has been close to CU. It pains me how poorly the AD has been run at CU. Bill McCartney handed over a Ferrari and we immediately wrapped it around a tree.
Washington and Oregon are seen as the first two in. The problem that I see is that Cal and Stanford play a lot more sports than CU and are very close to USC/UCLA, they effectively shut off California entirely to other leagues, they have dominant academics, and Cal solves the weird revenue sharing issue with UCLA. CU doesn’t solve most of the travel issues for USC/UCLA.
Beyond those four, CU, ASU and Arizona offer about the same mix of positives and negatives.
not really- it's sad but I've come to the conclusion the PAC is dead conference walking
That was my intention @leftybuff I wasn’t trying to play the “I know something you don’t” game. I only visit 24/7 occasionally and appreciate when people here, who visit more frequently, post a link to relevant info.
Oh, well if Baylor, so pious, so respected, said it's true...

We're good, just having a bad day, no reason to take it out here.

Yes. I trust their AD. He’s good.
