I actually agree with Liver 100%, but this is ****in funny!
Right.
The question to me is "Have these tweets done anything other than erode her credibility and make her look bush league" and the answer, in my opinion, is no.
My freshman year at Mines my good buddy's dorm roommate was a tackle on the Mines football team. Guy would wake up in the middle of the night most nights, throw about 30-40 pizza rolls on a plate, toss them in the microwave, eat them, then go right back to bed. It slayed me. Like something a ten year old kid would think the most awesome part of moving out of the house would be, pizza rolls and ice cream in the middle of the night AND NOBODY CAN TELL ME NO! Tom Hanks in "Big" type ****.
Maybe we need to hire Mines' football nutritionist and get these boys some ****ing midnight pizza rolls.
FWIW, the man child ended up being a good player and one of the strongest players on the team so there might have been a method to his madness, although correlation does not imply causation.
I had to go back and figure out which thread I was reading.
The 'Fax Todd Saliman' thread is much better at staying on track. (DBT appears to be the only one posting there though)
Is this “Fax” thing similar to a telegraph?
Not sure I like the B4Life getting more involved in CU. And I heard Gary Barnett say they are taking 15% of all donations to pay for B4Life initiatives that are not recruiting related
Maybe not directly related to recruiting, but I’d sure be selling the presence of a collective that is designed to help you not just during your playing career, but also well after.
Maybe, but they have been part of the problem in the past. Way too much influence before this little piece was added.

The 15% thing I don't even see as bad. Some of their other donations will likely dry up a bit, so taking 15% of the NIL haul off sets some of those losses
That is one issue I see for a group that has been overly influential in the AD. The fact that they will now make dollars off of an AD supported NIL program is not a positive for this AD. Not at all
AD supported?

There was an article in the Denver Post today regarding CUs transfer rules. It was not a well-written article in that it provided no insight into the CU restrictions just implied they existed. The quote from Phil seemed like to me they had no intention of changing anything.
Seems to me he is confusing CU's red tape and archaic transfer policies with Academic excellence.
I thought Gary Barnett had the overview of things.

Phil "has long maintained" and in that period CU's academic rating has declined while athletics hasn't won sh!t.
It's always amazing to me that someone can arrogantly live in their little bubble sniffing his own farts and not be aware of the reality that his policies and vision were wrong.
Edit: In other words, get this bureaucratic dinosaur out of here. He's set in ways that have only ever failed CU.

Sounds a lot like Mendenhall’s “And” mantra at Virginia (really an extension of Harbaugh‘s philosophy at Stanford and Franklin’s pitch while at Vandy). Hopefully not a tell that the administration has made a Mendenhall with the intention keeping the status quo. I’m generally okay with Bronco but think even he would need some institutional changes.
Well, he does already have one leg out the door. Somebody grab an axe and take care of the other.

Then he goes on to say it was brought up by virtually every HC candidate. Wtf?
I don’t believe that. Gary Barnett said that only 57% of transfer applications for football were accepted last year, so I have to think they knew why the other 43% were denied. Maybe PD didn’t know, but only because he didn’t care and hasn’t been involved with football issues in years. I think RG definitely knew but just didn’t really care. Maybe he knew but didn’t know how easy it would be to fix? I don’t know, the whole thing reads as them pleading ignorance about an embarrassing situation that got national media attention
Correct me if I’m wrong, but while getting transfers was a thing before the NCAA allowed immediate eligibility, it suddenly became a huge thing after the change. So I don’t think CU’s transfer issues were that big of a deal to the administration.
When the rules changed we were caught with our pants down. I don’t think the impact of the change as it effected CU hit home until we lost our best players and couldn’t get transfers in. All of this started at the end of the ‘21 season.
The issues Tucker had were more to do with getting HS recruits into CU. At that time transfers weren’t as big a deal as they’ve become.
