  1. CU housing expansion plans will close the Dark Horse

    Boulder for over a decade has been trending in the direction of eliminating low-value and poor-density land use. In a city with little room to expand and restrictive open space practices, there is little reason to let such a large parcel of land be wasted on a strip mall and a ratty motel...
  2. 2024 winter workouts

    Bringing in outside voices is fairly common in large organizations. The workouts may seem cliche however it was a deliberate choice to have that specific messaging (since one could have chosen from any number of prospective options). If an organization is well run the messaging will be...
  3. CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

    Investing hundreds of millions in a stadium expansion would be an extremely tough sell for any program not in the SEC or B1G much less CU. The bump in attendance last year was due entirely to Prime and there is no assurance he will stay or that trend will hold up over the long term. Despite the...
  4. CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

    Basement dwellers are just as important as the best teams for the health of a league. Centralizing and spinning off football under a new college league of around 60 programs is the best for everyone involved. The issue is that none of the stakeholders want to make the first move or upset the...
  5. College Football News, Rumor & Humor

    Gate revenue is more of a factor at a G5 school due to lower media deals. You have to fill out relatively small stadiums with small budgets for the economics to work. With CSU the stadium can be great and the right size for the type of program they are, but the debt is too high for it to be...
  6. College Football News, Rumor & Humor

    The ousting of Joe Parker speaks to the current state of football for the G5 and the upcoming tribulations within athletic departments. In decades past a program like CSU could sneak out wins against Power 5 teams every few years. A middling bowl and the promise of an average college education...
  7. Eric Bien(i)emy's next job speculation, shut out again

    EB being on staff wouldn’t be the worst thing if the program is selling NFL not NIL. Even if it were for a year or two having a coach who worked under Andy Reid and helped Patrick Mahomes is a plus for certain types of recruits.
  8. CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

    Both hockey and baseball don’t make sense at CU. There is no pedigree of hockey at CU and Colorado already has DU and Colorado College who have won championships (plus produced recent high-end NHL talent). There is also the AHL affiliate for the Avalanche relatively close to Boulder in Loveland...
  9. College Football News, Rumor & Humor

    College football needed a strong and independent governing body separate from other collegiate sports and the NCAA decades ago. What is happening with the SEC and B1G is entirely predictable with the incentive structures that are in place. If the Power Two spin off into their own thing I am...
  10. Nick Saban is retiring from coaching

    Even before the changes in the sport in the past decade or so coaches still left for better jobs. Kalen DeBoer had a good job at Washington, but not one of the best in the entire sport as the Alabama position is. Money is only part of the equation of why coaches move on and the resources...
  11. College Football News, Rumor & Humor

    The caller has a way with words and few are willing to go to the lengths to achieve it.
  12. College Football News, Rumor & Humor

    Football brings in the operating budget for most sports at college level. The real danger of an ineffective NCAA is the possibility of their actions killing nonrevenue sports. With open season on NIL and lack of central organizing bodies for both the players and institutions, everyone is playing...
  13. 2023-24 Coaching Carousel (Fitzgerald out, DC Braun interim at Northwestern)

    Unless you are a Deion Sanders and can bring self-driven media hype a job outside the SEC or B1G is a definitive step down. Bad teams are needed in professional sports and that is what lower-tier programs in the Power 2 will be.
  14. Nick Saban is retiring from coaching

    5. CU has its Big XII offer revoked and joins the Mountain West to face their penultimate rival CSU
  15. 2023-24 Coaching Carousel (Fitzgerald out, DC Braun interim at Northwestern)

    There is no reason for a DeMeco Ryans to leave the NFL. The money will be roughly comparable and a college job carries a lot more BS. Lanning makes a great deal of sense and Oregon has been poached a number of times right when they think they are close. The 2007 Independence Bowl was a turning...
  16. Nick Saban is retiring from coaching

    The changing landscape of college football led to the retirement. With Jim Harbaugh likely moving to the NFL there will be two huge openings in the sport. For one there is a clear candidate and for the other the immense challenge of following a legend.
  17. 2024 Transfer Portal News - Please Respect My Decision

    Amateurism died in football decades ago. As soon as the programs started bringing in money from large television deals and making football coaches the highest-paid public employees in many states the facade it was about education and the pageantry was destroyed.
  18. Official 2023 Bowl Games Thread

    Bowl games are meaningful to the lower-tier programs and the host cities. For the upper tier of athletes playing in them makes little sense due to injury concerns and the transfer portal. An expanded playoff will solve the meaningless problem for the top teams however beyond that the problem may...
  19. College Football News, Rumor & Humor

    Depending upon the institution, field of study, method of delivery, instructor load, and so on solutions are possible. Late start classes, online delivery, adjunct instructors, reform of school schedules, dual enrollment, etc are solutions to allow student-athletes to stay for post-season play...
  20. College Football News, Rumor & Humor

    There isn’t much that can be done due to the semester schedule. Transfers need to find a new school within a tight frame and bowls mean little due to expansion and the playoff.
