I don't know. Just saying that the numbers don't make the case that they're purported to. I guess we'd need to look at the entire university system with a particular emphasis on research investments into Anschutz as that was built and built up during this period. Almost all of Benson's efforts were focused there.
Exactly. There a are million things that influence research output, and athletic affiliation is about causative agent #999,999 on that list. I remember a couple months ago someone here simply point out that CU has increased research output the past decade (like almost every R1 school out there) and then claimed it had to be the PAC affiliation, because, in their words "what else could it be?"
I understand the CU system comes under the same leadership and all campuses, including, Anschutz, are impacted by policy making.
I'm beginning to wonder if they'll find a way to delay it even longer. At least once the season starts we'll have the distraction.
We’re on a different level than the b12 and even the Pac-12. From the YouTube views of media days, the views from the CU clips vs the other teams is hilarious (120K to 3K). We’re the #1 brand and it’s not even close. The only conference I’d consider joining is this one and we’d be #1 in this, too:
Damn, I know money will be the deciding factor, but just from the standpoint of program membership the Big12 is absolutely dreadful. I will get no pleasure out of seeing CU join that group of second rate programs.
Show us the data... correlation is NOT causation and all you've got here is correlation. You could be right, you could be wrong, but there is no actual data that proves the argument for either side. You conveniently ignore the rest of my post where I said that was hypothetical and could be one of many levers that would need to be considered to push your unproven argument. Yes, the university as a whole has declined since joining the Pac10... there's no arguing there. But that decline also concides with hundreds of other factors that have nothing to do with the Pac10... Uncle Phil's tenure... a president that was focused on a medical campus and expansion outside of Boulder are just two big ones. If we'd stayed in the BigXII, as has been shown here, the AD would've made a **** ton more money (actual data). The move to the Pac10 also significantly increased research interaction and alumni interaction/funding (again, actual data), just like the AD losses, those facts have been well documented in this thread. I still haven't seen any actual data backing up your argument. Who can say whether the overall academic and campus decline wouldn't have been far worse if we'd stayed in the BigXII and hadn't experienced the research/alumni interaction boon.
SDSU and Memphis aren't going B12.
What do you think happens if UConn accepts?
Can I interest you in a new car?
Outside of Buffalo, USF is the only public AAU school. It’s inevitable they will become a P5 school now. B12 would be wise to add them and pair w/ UCF.
Look away from this if you don’t want Applethe Messi game pulled 6M viewers.
I think they’re trying but they’re running an old playbook - classic FB coach, school run media, etc. The CU playbook is like nothing the sport has seen before.
Good question, Always thought the whole UConn thing was to pressure the 4 corners.
How does an invite to UConn apply pressure to the 4-corner schools? “You better accept our invitation, because if you don’t, we will invite a crappy school from the East Coast with a ****ty football program instead!”
One conference's Prime is another conference's Mora, Jr.
IF the original discussion was that there are four slots available, the idea would be if UCONN said yes there would be three left.
Colorado would have lost to Uconn last year. sigh
If that's the tactic - and numerous people on here are praising Yormark - then I need to stop joking about going into car sales and need to actually do it yesterday.
