great question:

Mac, Byron White, Billups, Wetmore

The first two were easy and the 2nd two were tougher.

Billups - our best basketball player to date. Will be an NBA hall of famer, already won NBA finals MVP and is a great ambassador to the program
Wetmore - 5 time national champion coach. It might be a lightly followed sport, but the guy will go down as one of the greatest coaches in CU history.

The Wetmore inclusion is awesome. Thanks.
 
You almost have to go outside of football.

Can you really do the CU Mount Rushmore and not put athletes like Mary Decker and Hale Irwin on it?
 
With how things have bern run lately, I would say Curly Moe and Larry has to be on there. Then BB2? The quadfecta of incompetence?

Byron White - seriously, he is probably the greatest alumni of the university - even without considering his athletic accomplishments. On field, he finished 2nd in the Heisman voting in 1937 (seriously think about the lack of media exposure for CU back then - and he still finished 2nd!), he held 50 individual CU football records, and when he died in 2002, he still held 15 of them. Off the field: Rhodes Scholar, Bronze Star (WWII US Army), US Attorney General, Supreme Court Justice.

Coach McCartney

After those two, it's pretty hard to judge. I would pick two of this list:
Hale Irwin
Eddie Crowder
Caroll Hardy
Bill Marolt
Mark Wetmore
Kara Wheeler
Richard Rokos

Dal Ward and Fred Folsom would also be on my list if they didn't already have major facilities named after them.
