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

WTF?
Well...maybe you haven't seen the teams we are moving in with. TCU had a nice season, but still hasn't won the B12. OSU has a nice annual record, but hasn't ever won the B12. The upside here is that with Coach Prime in his second season CU could win the B12 in 2024.
As an aside, I am really loving what you bring to the board. If I could have gone Mad Science to create my dream sock, it would have been you.
I do think this might be CU’s last stand. If this fails we might be done for good.
We’re essentially using the remaining savings we have to give the football program a full plastic surgery makeover and putting makeup on it to position ourselves for a B1G or SEC invite when the next round of TV rights talks comes up. If that plan fails we might be check mate.

I don’t know what this means. Remaining savings? This University has more money than they know what to do with, Prime is paying for himself in spades, donations are at an all time high (someone check me on that), and this is a huge step up in revenue relative to where they have been. Money is t really an issue. They just have to win.
Huh?
Riar Geer. Name I haven’t thought of in a while. Really liked him.
OSU did win it in 2011 actually
My only guess is not monetary savings but football reputation. Basically any goodwill left on the balance sheet from our century of being good and decade of being great. We're burning it all on an effort to stay relevant to the game.
Getting Prime is part of that plastic surgery plan. If that plan fails I think we might be done and then money will be an issue. Rick George himself said we didn’t have the money when we made the move but we’ll find it, but we’ll need more of it and do so consistently also in comparison to SEC and B1G teams.

WTF?
Well, yes they did. They did indeed. TCU tied with Bayler in 2014 as well. These were all years with no Championship Game.
Correct. If this goes fits up and it doesn’t end with a B1G or SEC invite I don’t know what moves remain to keep the fanbase engaged as things are trending towards a closed shop super league of some sorts.
If Prime can’t recruit and coach well enough to make this program a top half P5 program then nobody is going to do it, so I can agree
Also, another road trip problem with the move: not having away games in AZ really hurts, as now I can't double up obligatory visits with my mom with a football game. We've grown apart as people, and buffs games gave me something to look forward to when I visited.
This really sucks - I'm really very hopeful that the AZ schools join us in the truckstop conference.

Why are UA, ASU and Utah in lifeboats? They should be the band playing on deck
Is this figure real?

Honestly, if CFB becomes a two super conference thing, it's going to die because fans of schools who aren't in that Big two aren't going to give a **** about it.
But hey, if it happens and CU is a part of it, I might care.
It’s essentially what you said in the middle paragraph in one of your earlier posts. I think Prime and this move are our endgame. Put some makeup on the football program and see who wants to take us home in a few years.

I agree. Photo came from elsewhere. But I like how Utah was drowning
lol that would be funny if Utah basically ended up back in a slightly reshuffled Mwc
Would be glorious. Screw the utes.
That said if CSU got to a rose bowl when we didnt....

Rose Bowl is meaningless now.
Without SC and ucla the Pac12-3? Championship game will be moved to the Santa Ana Bowl.
Come for the UCONN game. You can stay with me. I mostly wear Italian loafers when it’s warm and sturdy brogues when it’s not.
