What was doesn't determine what will be.
I think to that run in the 1990s. We had a good coach, support from the administration, and some facilities improvements.
But we missed a golden opportunity because we didn't have Athletic Directors who understood the first thing about marketing. If someone like Bohn had been AD back then, CU would have more sports, better facilities, more booster support, and a better fan base today. And I sincerely believe that CU is still fixable and we will get there.
I actually believe that things are on the right track and CU athletics are about to get very good across the board.
I always love it when people revise history. Bill Marolt was the AD in the early 90s and Mike Bohn could not hold Marolt's jock when it comes to marketing and fund raising. They got Dal Ward built which was a state of the art facility back in 1990...Bohn has been here for 5 years now with no noticeable changes in any of the areas that you mention....Dal Ward was built with $14 million of private donations - Bohn had trouble raising $3 million for a bubble 17 years later.
Marolt left for a couple of reasons, one was Albino getting too involved in hiring the Mac's replacement.
