on the other hand if any of that were true, she would list DU on her list.
Maybe, but if CU had a program it would be competing in the PAC, DU competes at a lower level. Also CU is a major national level university, DU isn't.
Not saying that if CU had a respectable swimming program she would consider it but I think it is much more likely than considering a DU, CSU, or other local lower profile school.
