MM’s Coach’s Show Loses Location

As I don’t live in Boulder anymore, I’ve never been able to attend MM’s coaches show. Was it generally well attended?

Apparently, it has been moved out of whatever pub it was in and into the Champion’s Center (and made non-public).

Any word on the reasons for the move? Seems odd timing in light of the recent slide and very fair-weather.
 
Fate Brewing, the host of the show, went out of business. Changing thread title due to connotation.
 
Fate Brewing filed chapter 11 bankruptcy - probably not able to spend $ for the coaches show to be there / or soon to be closed down

At the very least, it’s very, very bad optics. I has all the appearances of them ducking public interaction. Same kind of thing happened in Hawkins last couple years. They only took phone calls and those were aggresively screened.
 
Thanks for the info. I agree the optics are bad. Timing of the host going under is unfortunate, especially as they couldn’t (or didn’t try to) find a substitute venue.

Might be contractual, i.e. they can't use another location until the BR is settled or the contract expires.
 
As an attorney, I always think it’s good to consider the application of the contract in this context.

I do have a hard time imagining a contractual scheme in which the host location could/would restrict CU from finding a new location when the host location has terminated the contract (due to its own financial concerns, bankruptcy).

I doubt CU would even need to negotiate the right to use a new location; but if CU was really interested in finding a new location, that could be negotiated quite easily, likely, far before the location became unavailable.

My guess is the problem is the effort cost of a short term contract. Several locations may have been interested, but the negotiations and start up costs for just a three show run did not pencil out. Better to find a full time host location starting next year.

Also, and here is the interesting conspiratorial slant, coach’s shows are part of coach’s contracts. If there are questions as to MM’s contract going forward (or creating a new coach’s contract), that might be cause to skip to the Champion’s Center and not create a whole new binding obligation/contract

Howver, I think the conspiracy concept is pretty weak, as, I imagine, one of the least signifcant parts of a multi-milllion dollar coach’s contract would be the location of a coach’s radio show.

Just hashing out the possibilites...
 
Fate is an interesting follow for how to ruin a good business. Their Boulder location is seemingly successful. They opened in Lafayette and it totally bombed from day 1.

Last week it was "seized" by the City of Lafayette for "unpaid Sales and use taxes".
This week, Boulder (and the parent company) filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
They made some severely stupid moves (buying the old Avery facility but not being able to get approval to brew beer there for one).

But when a business is seized like the above, I'm totally OK with no longer hosting our weekly show there which amounts to advertising.

I don't know how you forecast not being able to get government approval to run a brewery out of a space that you bought that just ran a government approved brewery (and you purchased all of their old equipment)

Bad optics? Who’s looking? I’ll bet only a couple of hundred people are even aware.

It’s not so much the actual attendance at the show, but the message that closing it off to the public conveys.
 
I use to look forward to watching the Bill McCartney show that came on weekly. I believe it was Denver channel 4? Then the Neuheisel show, and I believe it ran for a little with Barnett ? stopped soon after. It would cover football mainly, then about the last 10 min. would discuss all CU sports. I actually still have some old VHS tapes recordings of the B McCartney show, no way to watch them, but I still have them.
