CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

You’re right. Pest control expenditures are much higher in Lubbock than in Boulder.
More pests, but the service itself costs more - particularly when you consider you would have to use environmentally friendly natural products.

I don't know if that is actually true. CU's AD budget was less than TTU. CU's coaching staff budget has always been middle of the road or bottom half, despite being in one of the higher cost of living areas (so has Cal's). Coaching salaries are not really dependent on cost of living, but rather market value of the positions and a programs willingness to compete. Same for recruiting budgets.

I'm sure there are a whole mess of things that go into a true comparison, but this is not the same as comparing how far a $100k/year personal income will go in Boulder vs Lubbock.
Some of the schools you are comparing us to probably have more sports then we do. Like baseball and softball. If so, team travel for those additional sports likely explodes the total budget number
 
The thread has been a slog, but this post made it all worth it. Thank you for your service, sir!

Of all the posts in this thread, a retort about pest control services in Lubbock being more costly in Lubbock than Boulder is what did it for you?
 
Dude. If you're starting a business, do you think you would have to pay more to hire an admin in Boulder or Lubbock? Services like pest control, cleaning, upkeep & maintenance, landscaping services? You can't really think it all costs the same.
There are certainly some operating costs of the university that are more in Boulder, but that’s at the broader institutional level, and media rights revenue is peanuts relative to institutional budgets

The fact that we've reached the point where we're discussing pest control services made me laugh out loud. I know it's the 7,832th jumping of the shark, but still...

Texas Tech has baseball and softball which adds up while CU doesn't have those.
 
Does TTU have Skiing?!? I think not!
