The four democrats don't want to extend MacIntyre. Liberalism strikes again!!!!!!!!

It has wormed its way into and ruined much of our culture. Why not CU football again?
 
Partisan politics was never a feature of the BoR, as far as I had seen. I hope that's not changing. This is about issues, not whether it's a Dem or Pub. I'll be so pissed if that has changed. I'd never paid any attention to party affiliation when it came to regents in the past and don't expect that I will have to in the future.
 
Seems, to me, letter writing should focus on the wavering Republican. Anyone know who that is?

Important email from Dan Mills this morning:
Hey all. We got a problem. As mind blowing as it is it seems a significant contingent of the board of regents don't want to ratify Coach Mac’s contract. The way it works is Rick George has offered Mike a contract and Mike’s agreed to it, but the regents must ratify it and currently it is not certain there are enough votes to support it. There are nine regents, four democrat and five republicans. The issue appears to be split down party lines, Dems against the contract. Republicans in support with one republican wild card that nobody knows which way he’ll vote. I’m not exactly clear on what is driving the lack of support, but the catalyst is the Joe Trumpkin issue that arose when Mac was contacted and allegations arose concerning Trumpkin’s relationship with a woman. It’s been in the paper. You all know what I am talking about.
Where we are right now is the regents are scheduled to vote on this contract May 17th and if they don't approve it I believe Coach is gone, sooner or later. And I guaranty if they don't approve it every other program will use the uncertainty of his future with CU as a recruiting tool against CU. Many of you know Coach Mac and know he is a man of great character and shouldn't be subject to this political crap. And by the way according to my proverbial well placed sources we could lose Rick George too. And even more of you know Rick and understand he is cut from the highest quality cloth. These men do not deserve this ever and especially not with all the success they have had on and off the field.
It seems that some how this has become a Title 9 issue. How and why I don't know. Title 9 is the class of federal regulations that ensure women students, athletes and employees of a university are treated fairly. This illustrates further irony in that Rick has driven a culture that is as open, diverse and friendly towards women as any Colorado AD maybe ever.
As a business guy the fiscal irresponsibility shown here is serious. CU has a $180,000,000 facility to pay for and the only way to do that is through a successful football program. Kinda like the one they are building. Losing the most decorated coach in the county would gut the program. My PWPS shared with me CU has 4000 more applicants this years than ever before and I believe it is because of the success of the football program. It’s not just my opinion. This phenomenon is only being replicated in Boulder. It has happened in Tuscaloosa, Ann Arbor and even in Fort Collins during Sonny’s hey days. Athletics are the front porch of a public university.
The reason I am telling you all this is the vote is May 17th and you need to email every single regent and tell them how you expect them to vote and why. Their contact information can be found at https://www.cu.edu/regents/meet-regents.
I know you're all busy. So am I, but on a bright, sunny blue bird Saturday afternoon when you're sitting in Folsom Field with 15,000 or so lethargic fans watching CU get embarrassed buy Oregon 70-7 you will wish you had sent that email.
Feel free to share this.
GO Buffs!!!!!!!!!

I don't want to sound the panic alarm. But CU is being CU here. Managed to make this much bigger than it has appeared to be. Wasn't the least bit concerned until recently. Now highly concerned we are doing our best to return to the dark ages and kill any positive momentum and foundation we think was laid.

Which is exactly why I have not yet purchased my season tickets for 2017.

this post has done just that for me. as others have said, if they **** this up, it will be my last straw.
 
Working on a write-up on the "Flutie Effect" on how football success positively impacts a university by driving applications, selectivity, donations, etc. Also how the roughly $3M a year for MacIntyre is only a middling P5 contract for a HC. And, very importantly, how football revenue drives the ability for the athletic department to offer Title IX opportunities for female athletes -- without football, it would cost the university millions of dollars every year out of general funds to support the athletic department. Once done, it should have a lot of reference material you guys can cite if writing a letter to the Regents.

When HCMM gets confirmed nearly unanimously, I'm gonna laugh.

Yeah. We need to be careful to not jump to conclusions based on what we read on the internet. But I will say that there is some smoke in that this thing should not be dragging on as long as it has.

An anonymous person posts an email from someone he doesn't know. Seems like solid evidence to me.

So your real name is DrunkRalph and you're not posting anonymously? And you only post info when you personally know the source? Nice contribution to the MM discussion.

I will not renew if this is the case. I will buy CSU tickets instead in fact.

That's certainly your prerogative.
Not my path, though.

When my brother does something stupid, does he stop being my brother?

When my child calls from the police station, does she stop being my daughter?

When my dad gets cancer, does he stop being my dad?

No. no. no.

CU is family. The good times outweigh the bad times. The success of Phil Lindsey and Dani Jones and every other athlete who has worn a CU uniform and every future CU Buff who will wear the BnG deserves my alliance, through thick or thin, shoulder-to-shoulder.

That doesn't mean CU leadership is beyond reproach. The most invested voices are the loudest.

What outcome would statisfy Allbuffs?

I can't speak for anybody else, but I personally will be very pissed if anybody loses a job over his. That includes Plati and DiStefano. Well, anybody other than Tumpkin. I don't want to see MM or RG reprimanded in any way. I want to see MM's contract ratified and a statement from the University that it does not tolerate the actions of its former employee Tumpkin and will make every reasonable effort to ensure his victim receives whatever assistance she requires.

Any recommendations on what bases I should cover in my letter?

How the football team promotes the school, engages alumni and other in state fans, increased admissions and publicity from this past season, how the AD and academic side are intertwined and we should strive to be the best at everything, how Mac and RG are the best coach and AD we have had in a long long time, and whatever else you want to get across.
