Bud Peterson Hired as President of Ga Tech

Good luck to him. I hope we can get someone as involved in athletics as him. He came into the student section to shake hands/sing the fight song. Either he was embarrassed or he didn't know all the words
 
Who becomes the next Chancellor will make a huge difference at CU. Someone who realizes the value of intercollegiate athletics and supports the athletic department makes it 100 times easier to field competitive teams and hire competitive staff. The AD doesn't have the time or the resources to fight a hostile administration.

Judith Albino :sad2:

I know they weren't chancellors, but the same theory applies.
 
I think Benson and the Regents understand the importance of the AD, and won't put somebody in place that would endanger that.
 
What is the hierarchy of the university? We have a President and a Chancellor and a Board of Regents. Anyone?
 
The Chancellor is the head person on a specific campus, so the CU system has Chancellors in Boulder, Denver, Health Sciences, and Colorado Springs. They report to the President, who reports to the Regents.

You know they'll hire someone who could give a rats @ss about athletics, but if he is a chemist... good chance.

I was upset to read Bud's letter to the University.

Well, the Chancellor's first priority should always be academics. If it's not, then that's worse than not caring much for athletics, in my opinion. CU is an educational institution first.
 
It sucks, but these kinds of deals are like coaches. When you have a really good assistant, he's not going to stick around forever. A great provost or chancellor will be on the radar for the next campus president job.
