You’re right, the donor culture in the south is insane. I know young engineers who make ~150ish and belong to a donor level club that starts at $25,000 a year.
We’ll never complete with that. Having the big spending 30 or so schools break off and form their own league can’t come soon enough.

I've been to Tuscaloosa. I honestly don't get it.

Honestly, CU has bigger fish to fry than NIL at the moment, w/r/t being able to compete with most other P5 programs for transfers specifically.

Substantial challenge CU faces with bringing in transfers

Why did CU sign so many high school prospects in the 2022 class instead of leaving room for more transfers? NIL is not the only challenge the Buffaloes football program faces when trying to bring transfers in...

My comment above was referring to this, but wanted to respect 24 hour rule. Crazy that we still have bull**** academic admission hurdles like this.

There are a lot of ways this could go before taking that kind of step is appropriate. A far more likely scenario, in my opinion, is that CU joins an alliance of schools who want to keep their amateur standing. I honestly believe there’s only 24-30 schools that fall into the category of winning at all costs. CU isn’t one of them, and neither are the majority of PAC 12 schools. How this all works itself out over the next 5-10 years will dictate the direction CU takes. Dropping football and going to a minor hoops conference is one possible scenario out of several. Frankly, I think it’s probably one of the least likely outcomes.

Spot freaking on.
Put the top 24-36 schools in a super league and they can go beat the furk out of each other
Create a 64-team true College League with modest NIL, but real academic and competition factored in.
So what if we lose USC and Oregon, just add UNLV and San Diego State, and if there were a real playoff and championship opportunity, it would turn people back on.
The MLS is essentially about the 5th or 6th best league in the world, and people are all over it
(Fair warning, I am sorry I added a Soccer analogy, please do not run with it on the next 20 posts)

Is this the time to talk about baseball and swimming?

NYU and Chicago are D3 in the UAA. They have swimming.

Something something academics.
kids scramble and fight to get into those universities for the academics. NO ONE is going to do that for CU just because we don’t have football.

CU has a strict admissions policy on transfers. They must have shown progress toward their degree which makes them on track to graduate on time. They must also be able to complete their final 48 credits at CU.

Taken together, it means we will almost never see a transfer who isn't a freshman, sophomore or graduate.

Last cycle, the majority of potential football transfers CUFB wanted to recruit were rejected by admissions as not being recruitable, which explains why we signed a full class of HS recruits in a year that had so many guys in the portal.

The “Progress Toward Degree” is not new. This is why you previously saw some transfers taking 18 hours over the summer to get into CU. The difference now is that transfers are a much bigger part of the landscape, and CU has effectively eliminated itself from that pool of talent. Basically, only two schools that we know of in the country have this requirement - CU and Stanford.

Adam over at Buffstampede is such an even keeled guy, a real pro, but you almost got the sense that he just wanted to type, “You guys are fvcked.”

Hey, Vanderbilt also has that rule in place!

But seriously, this should be an easy fix if the University adds a “general studies” or “liberal studies” degree like Duke, Michigan and Cal, to name a few, have done and don’t have to deal with this.

Have to imagine with the way he went to MSU and turned over that roster with transfers, this was a massive deal breaker for Tucker that he wasn’t even aware existed at CU until he got here

If we’re going to have academic hurdles, can we actually…. Idk…. Have a renowned academic standing?

It’s mind boggling to me how our administration can let our academics stagnate and decay but feel like they’re Stanford or MIT

We’re a decent state school and need to start acting like it. Slap Lockheed’s logo on the stadium, market the aerospace program with it, and actually try to improve academics/sports ffs these people are so impossibly stupid

Am I the only one seeing this as the reason we will hear a "HCKD needs time to develop the HS talent he brought in" spin as a reason to keep him through '27?
