This is shockingly accurate. Ask CU Denver who their biggest competitor is? CU Boulder. UCCS' biggest competitor? CU Denver
It is wildly myopic and a byproduct of the extreme political institution, and bleeds down from how the BoR is elected. You have 4 campuses with 4 administrations, duplicative schools and colleges (business, engineering, arts and sciences, etc). Lots of duplicative technology and business offices.
It is really quite silly in this day and age, and it keeps CUs focus local, in little fiefdoms with internal squabbling. It's like the Holy Roman Empire... And will probably meet the same fate.
We need a Bismark

These numbers don’t impress me. RG funges the budgets of other sports based on meager football net revenues leaving the football team underfunded and CU without many sports available at other P12 schools.Total Net Revenue from Football FY2014-FY2020 with football specific revenue and football specific Expenditures and total AD Net Revenue in parenthesis.
2014 - $11,081,351 Net Revenue from Football (-$76k total)

Even a ****ty football team having to buy out bad contracts brings in a ton of revenue and keeps the AD's P&L positive more often than not. It's absurd to suggest the AD has so poorly mismanaged its finances that there's no reason for the school itself to loan the necessary funds in order for the football program to do what's necessary to continue being profitable.

Sure, the bottom line looks good - I guess - but all these programs are funded poorly.
I would think you could work out common branding for all campuses, and allow use of the Ralphie logo for Anschutz and Denver. UCCS has their own mascot for athletics but still uses gold and the interlocking CU. I think you could easily bring Colorado Mesa in as they already have an agreement with the school of engineering.

And the exact reason a kid from So Cal picked CU in the very late 70's....."where the hip go to trip"Most importantly, we have dropped significantly in the Top Party school category, at least according to this one….

TX has 20 million, CA 30+ million more people living in states 2x the size of CO. Much easier to have different brands because you have the population and area to market to.
If we're going this route, can we all just agree that this whole debacle started with Betsy Hoffman
That is straight up pure Merrian Go-Go.
The motion from and then to different 1930/40's offensive sets - and then a throw out of the ancient run formation?
Yeah, that's pure Go-Go.
Ugh. Literally makes me sick. Maybe we could hire him to be HC next year. Couldn't be any worse than what's happening now.
He's run a program before.
I would 100% be behind this hire. He's young, brilliant, etc. It would be Chip Kelly to UO in 2007 brilliant.
I’m even okay with him as OC, but I think working for Sark is going to get him opportunities with other programs…
Yeah - someone is going to "take a chance" with him and end up looking like a genius.
Most likely a G5, and then he'll be poached by one of the big boys 3-5 years later.
Other possibility is that a ****ty B1G team takes a chance and surprises everyone.
I'd love it if it was the terps.
I might never watch college football again if it's the corn.
He's who I wanted when we were talking possibilities last off season.

Yeah, but it's hardly the 90s.
Great News: Dorrell has Colorado on the Headline of ESPN in 2022 
Dorrell is only part of the problem. He is more of a symptom than the cause.
that actually seems ideal, we need places like ESPN roasting CU / KD to get him out of here
Interesting thread. Hopefully the anger is flowing up the chain of command.

Am I the only one thinking that if CU ran the exact same play the throw would have been in the dirt at the feet of the RB incomplete?
He said “Prominent AD”
