2022 CU Regent Races
- Thread starter patebuff
- Start date
Is the board flipping red? that could cause some upheaval.
I think it's still the same makeup. 1 stayed Dem, 4 stayed Rep, 6 stayed Rep and 8 is Rep replacing Ganahl who was at large but Rep.

Wanda James is a problem.
Can you expand?
If there's only 1 problem the majority will overcome.

Got fairly testy with people when they asked her about her views on athletics. She blocked a few people over it.
AFAIC she's basically Kroll until she proves otherwise.

Shoemaker's still there. Its okay to be a registered Dem and support CU athletics, Linda.
Football success can lead to more money to cure cancer.
The Wanda is anti football stuff I believe is quite overblown. She had family play for CU. Good results in the other regent races though
I want to give the Dem BoR a chance.
Pub control gave us Benson/Kennedy, DiStefano and George.
I like the momentum of change started with Saliman and want to see this play out with him getting an ally as CU-B Chancellor followed by a new AD. I want to roll with it and give things a chance.

You could be totally right-but there's a really easy way for her to put an end to that talk and she hasn't done it.
She seems indifferent on athletics. We'll see
Couldn’t ask for a better tweet from a Kroll replacement
I know it's hard for some people to wrap their heads around someone being progressive, even woke, and still being a big sports fan or even not being a fan but loving the impact on revenue, diversity and opportunity.
But try not to make assumptions.
In the interest of fairness, I will also not make assumptions. It's very possible that a GOP controlled BoR putting Benson (R) in place after Hawkins' bowl season, that Benson then calling off the Chancellor search to focus on Phil as the only candidate in 2009, that the absolute deterioration of CU in academics and athletics for over a decade, and that the new momentum only occurring after the Dems took over the BoR and replaced another GOP politician who had been installed as President... that all of this is coincidental and a Republican is potentially capable of steering a university or delivering good football.

Wanda seems 100% behind Prime. There has obviously been a shift within the BOR regarding athletics and you have to assume Saliman and the amount of negative messages they were receiving this year were the primary reasons for the changes. You have to fill pretty confident going forward that this can be sustained
She’s also not a member of the fascist party, so thats a plus
She's as big an advocate for athletics from a board member as I can remember. I'm a fan.
You can do better. Focus.
Hey @ahoelsken - you probably missed this because you were busy this weekend. Just thought I’d help.

I was sick all weekend so I slept a ton.
Couldn't be happier I'm wrong on her. Seriously.
On the binary system, there is no better than 1
Regent at large. Awesome.
Damn. In the last year or so, we’ve gotten Saliman as President (huge plus), hired coach Prime (ginormous plus), shed Kroll as regent (definite plus), Phil announces his retirement (bout ****ing time), Plati retires (some might debate this, but I consider it a huge plus) and now CJ is running for Regent?
**** me, this school might actually get its **** together after wandering in the wilderness for the last 20 years.
