We're out recruiting our conference. We also look like we will have the largest football budget (OSU right there due to the Pickens endowment). Not sure how anyone could not be optimistic unless, for some reason, they think that talent and resources aren't the primary drivers of football success.
 
But which one you choose is quite revealing!
Kind of like are you glass half full or half empty?

I am concerned about the 5 year future. Sanders is a great promoter and has a vision for building a program. One of my concerns is can CU compete in this era of NIL and free spending (a lot of really good programs are in the same boat). I also believe that Sanders should re-evaluate some of his vision. I am not sure the 40-40-20 thing works in the long term. I believe you have to develop leadership across your squad and that is difficult with the mercenary approach.

Cuts both ways though. Players will transfer away from him the moment they get on his bad side.
 
I know money into this program is vastly ahead of where it's been. If we can keep leveraging the media draw and Prime's contacts, the nil should catch up. Then, ya know, getting the right coaches in. But funds are required for both those and we should have funds
