Prime Effect in Orlando—The Monsters in the Morning is a comedy talk radio show here with no connection at all to CU, but on a Wednesday morning and not in a sports segment they were talking about Coach Prime, the Buffs, the TV numbers and how amazing it is. They’ve talked about CU almost every day in some fashion since the TCU win.
But in a good way.

I wonder how many of those pro football players are thinking that they might want to coach someday

When CP was hired, I knew we would get increased national exposure because he's a HOF'er. But I'm totally blown away by the depth of his connections. I never realized how deeply respected he is in the NFL cohort. He is clearly respected because of his performances on the field, but he's even more respected for the person that he is. Then you look at the non-football connections he has (musicians, chefs, newscasters, athletes from other sports, etc.) and how much they love him, it's mind bottling. Somehow he touches everyone he comes in contact in a positive way (No, not like Mel Tugger - get your head out of the gutter). The people that hate him don't know him personally.
To be fair, Midnight Mel was mostly in touch with himself.

He is a motivator and a leader.
Many have talked about how he is motivated by money. I think he is more motivated by his mission. The reason I am inclined to that conclusion is if money won out, he would not have donated half his salary at JSU to improvements.
When he talks of JSU, he feels it was a finished project.
CU will keep him as long as it takes for him to finish the project, and we can hope that the next challenge is satisfied by becoming an AD and mentoring coaches that provide opportunity to athletes.

Local sports radio here did a segment on Prime this morning and the wild effect he's had on the ratings for our games.
Every morning the security guard at the gate talks to me about the previous game or the upcoming game. I try to make it quick because cars behind me are waiting to get thru but he doesn't seem too concerned lol.
Is this like the old Howard Stern viewership? You either loved him or hated him, but everyone listened to hear what he had to say.
Probably some of that, but I think there are a TON of people who love him and are rooting for CP and CU
Step 1: Fox destroys P12
Step 2: Fox makes CU Fox's flagship program.

Y’all - as long as the Big 12 has a seat at the CFP table, that’s where we want to be with Prime. We’ll have the best teams in the conference and will have the easiest path to glory. I’m talking regular CFP appearances and shots to win it all here. No need to get mixed up in a bloodbath conference unless it’s absolutely necessary.
40 million dollars per year will make things pretty necessary coaching salary wise. Or if the players end up getting paid directly (which will happen), team salary wise.
We will exceed those dollars via CFP appearances and when the school will have a beastly fundraising machine tied to Prime.
We're going to be the football equivalent of Gonzaga to basketball tournament seeding.
