It's at least as much about the "how he did it" as the "what he did" in regard to Bohn. Not just the waffling on all 4 football coaches, but a feeling that Barnett and Embree were outright lied to by Bohn.

Your point was that having a good basketball program doesn't make up for a poor football program. You were provided several examples of schools that are in that exact situation and it hasn't been an issue for them. The fact that CU has historically not been a basketball power is irrelevant to your original point.

Duke went to a bowl last year, Kentucky had a 5 year bowl streak 2006-2010. Indiana last went to a bowl same year as us (2007), but their basketball team has been in 14 Final Fours and played for the NCAA championship 6 times. I think Slider's point is that it isn't a sustainable model outside of the most voracious basketball regions; certainly not for CU.
Refresher: Value of College Football Programs versus the Value of College Basketball Programs
Someone resigned. How is this a 3-ring circus? You know, hyperbole is worse than Hitler :lol:
Also in looking at the BB schools, Kansas averaged 41,000 a game last year for football, not that far off what we were. Duke was well below at 28,000 but Indiana averaged almost 45,000, Kentucky 49,000 (some question about the validity of their statistics in another article but I will go with the official,) Louiseville almost 50,000, North Carolina 50,000, so those schools aren't exactly relying on only basketball as a revenue source.

I really don't know what to think... Conventionally, the AD goes and then the new AD makes the coaching change. The hire of Mike Mac seemed to be led by Bohn... This is just puzzling so far. I don't know whether this works out positively or not. But it is a headscratcher..
Want to know how far we've fallen in the sporting world? Search ESPN to try and find any mention of this... *crickets*... Hope we can make a splash hire at the AD position who can take over for fundraising and absolutely kills it to help put us back on the map.

Duke's stadium only holds about 33,000, so 28k attendance as a percentage of capacity is pretty impressive for them...
It's on reddit though.
To be fair, ESPN has become about my 12th source for sports information. So the feeling is mutual.
And what was that lie?
Amen. Although, not to be out done, what the f has happened to the CNN web site? Their sports links used to go to Sports Illustrated's web site. Now they all go to the bleacher report? Huh? They are The Onion of sports reporting, without the humor...
You're job is safe or something to that effect.

University of Colorado Boulder Chancellor Philip P. DiStefano today announced he has accepted the resignation of CU-Boulder Athletic Director Mike Bohn, effective June 3.
“Mike Bohn led CU-Boulder athletics in a time of great transition and change,” said DiStefano. “We are grateful to him for his vision, passion and commitment, and for his key role in revitalizing men’s and women’s basketball, helping us to join the Pac-12 Conference, and in taking important steps to upgrade athletic facilities at CU-Boulder. We wish him well.”
DiStefano said he will in the coming days appoint a search committee to conduct a national search for Bohn’s successor.
DiStefano said the university will be seeking “a dynamic leader” as athletic director – someone who, he said, “can focus on our key goals of fundraising, building a dynamic organization, and creating long-term sustainability in the athletics mission.”
The university in February announced a $50 million facilities fundraising campaign as the anchor of a $170 million multiphase, multiyear upgrade of CU athletics facilities at Folsom Field and the Dal Ward Center, and the development of an indoor practice facility.
“We are seeking a talented leader who can build on Mike’s vision and make it a reality,” said DiStefano.
Bohn was named the university’s sixth athletic director on April 13, 2005, five months after CU Athletic Director Dick Tharp stepped down.

Hey, come on. You don't want to know the latest about Tebow and Te'o. How about every last detail on the Yankees and Red Sox, and the details about LeBron's choice of socks. You just aren't a serious sportsfan.
this is the circus part of it. How do you let him lead that hire and can him? what happens if MikeMac pans out and turns the program around? then what?
Great game last week, coach.
I just cannot believe how DiStefano WILL NOT even come close to mentioning success on the field, championships, and so on. He clearly sees sports as necessary evils that are a means to an end.
Ringo on 104.3 now saying his "gut feeling" is that it's mainly about fundraising along with the AD being in debt $22 million.
Is the debt really still that much??

I think any coach that's been fired is going to feel they've been lied to.
Well, CU says someone resigned. Then that person says that they were "floored" to lose their job. Go you start to hear the calliope and smell the elephants now?
Don't know how much the debt is, but considering we spent two years without a conference distribution, shouldn't even be a talking point IMO.
I'm more than slightly aroused, suddenly.
In debt to who, the University? How does firing an AD with 3 years left on his contract help our debt position unless we've got big money promised in exchange for Bohn's ouster.
