What's your CU sports holiday wish list?

[Buffnik]

The big problem I see with ice hockey is isn't it one of if not the most expensive sport to run outside of football?

I don't know what Women's Ice Hockey looks like on P&L, but I was reading some articles around the time I posted. It looks like Men's Ice Hockey can generate $6-7M for the top programs and ASU is already bringing in over $5M. AD profitability numbers are tricky to unwind, but it appears that schools only lose a few hundred K on hockey. Revenues are growing, too, because the top revenue producing programs in the 2016-18 time frame were only around $4.5M.

Oh yeah. It’s absurd. It’s also a great spectator sport and would be fun to have a D-1 team at CU. Economics is a huge factor and will in all likelihood prevent hockey from ever being added as a sport. But this is the wish list, not the “what’s reasonable and attainable” list.

Remember that ASU only has a team because a benefactor funded the entire thing. CU wouldn’t be a top revenue producing team.

That said, I don’t care. I’d love it and would be first in line for season tickets.

Hence why it is my "if I win a bazillion dollars in the lottery" CU donation.

First another football natty.

Then a hockey team.
