Yeah you're not correct on this. Bohn has come out and said that the basketball program has been profitable for two years In a row.

I should also add that had the football team not sucked at historic levels, my interest in basketball might still not be very high. Like many, I'm desperate to support a winner at CU. Boyle couldn't have timed the ascension of CU basketball any better. It will be interesting to see if the interest level remains once the football team gets its act together. I suspect it will, due to the amount of goodwill that has been generated the last couple years. Fans are fickle, but they do remember stuff like that.

I think that's definitely played a strong role. I went to nearly every game during my first three years at CU and went to many Senior year. But I never even thought of CU as anything close to a basketball school. Like you said the rise of basketball was the perfect storm.

Good to see you came out of yer mom's basement for that! That big yellow ball in the sky? We call it the "Sun".
Pay attention to the cross country team as well! Really fun to root for a bunch of mostly Colorado kids (and surprisingly, virtually NO 26 yr. old foreign "students") who were very good HS runners who were turned into AA's and natiional, even international, stars, by one of the first pony-tail wearin' coachs in the nation and one of the best, Mark Wetmore.
Back-to-back Pac12 champions in a league known for its prominent XC programs and 3rd in the men's NCAAs during a re-building year. Go Buffs XC!
Cross Country doesn't get highlights on SportsCenter. I'm thrilled for our cross country teams, but I'm talking about major sports, here.
FIFY :smile2:
Was told by an AD employee during the last home game that I could expect a price increase on my season tix with an added seat tax/mandatory donation. I guess the seat tax was already being done with seats lower than mine(my tix are half court 13 rows up), and believe it was around the $200 range. He said the biggest reason for this was to pay for coaches salaries. I've enjoyed how low ticket prices have been over the years, but you get what you pay for, and I'll enjoy the Buffs in the tourney every year more than cheap season tix. :thumbsup:

It's been a big bargain for years, easily one of the best entertainment dollars in the Front Range. Still no parking charge right? As long as it's not a ridiculous increase, I don't think too many people could object to an increase.
Both Boyle and Lappe need to get rewarded for their hard work, player development and winning ways, as well as increasing attendance.
JG and I talked about this last week, NCAA revenue is a drop in the bucket we earned 9 units this time around which means we'll garner about $250-300K from it. I had thought it would be more and I don't know if there is is any Pac-12 conf tourney revshare.
Guilty as charged bandwagon fan, here. I am unapologetic about it. I'm passionate about football. Not so much about basketball. That doesn't mean I don't want to support a winner. I want to be able to wear the black and gold and know that I can talk smack with somebody.
