There has been a dedicated atudent fee that goes to the athletic dept since 1980. I think some grad students are exempt if they are only taking thesis hours, but i could be wrong about that.

It's my understanding that the CU Boulder student fees support CU club sports and the rec center, but are not allocated towards the sports teams under the CU Athletic Department.
The fees also provide various clubs and student services as allocated by the CU student government.
You are mistaken. There is a dedicated student fee that goes to the ad. It started in 1980 when football revenue cratered and never went away. It started at $10 a semester and is now $28.50 a semester.https://bursar.colorado.edu/tuition-fees/mandatory-fees/fee-descriptions-2016-17/
The ad gives the students discounted football tickets and free admission to most sports in return.
There is a separate fee for the rec center.
That's a bargain IMO.
I agree. My freshman year at cu was 1989, and got to pay $10 for my football season ticket.
That was so awesome back then. Picking up your tickets for $10. And knowing we were going to kick the ever living **** out of every team we played except 1 or 2. Plus we could buy beer. All subsidized by the tree hugging druid basket weaving liberal hippie students that had no interest in football that had to pay that fee too.
Those were the days.

I stand corrected. At $28.50 per semester - that sounds like a little under $2 million per year. Thanks

We don't need our scheduling to look better. We're in a brutal conference. Been through the whole routine of an Ag school in a lower conference joining a bigger one. There's no advantage to speak of for the other school already in the better league, let alone in a sparsely populated area such as the Rockies with limited top notch talent to go around. The argument that it will somehow make "CU better" just isn't reality.
I think it could make people pay more attention to college football within the state.

Only if they're relevant. Being a dreg of a major conference doesn't do a ton, as we've unfortunately experienced ourselves.
You mean like the RMS does? Way to regurgitate the annual local sports personality radio garbage for 5 days each year.

An even better way to bring attention to college football in the state of Colorado is to win at home, win on the road, win at bowl games, and have lots of star players get drafted to play in the NFL.
I like this strategy. The Buffs should adopt it.

Exactly. I've never understood the whole "If CSU does well, then it helps CU" argument. CU doing well would help CU. What CSU does doesn't matter.
P.S. **** CSU. 7 days.
If I, as a non-crazy person, had to subsidize SINAPU (the wolf-huggers) then they could damn well subsidize my football addiction.
I forgot about them. Hahahaha

I was listening to one of the local legends in sportstalk Norm Hitzges. Norm is really connected and he stated that the Big XII has 3 options and they are in this order. 1) add 2 teams, 2) not expand at all, 3) add 4 teams. He also said it is a almost guaranteed it will be 2 and the 2 will be Cincy and Houston and his reasoning makes a ton of sense. First off by adding Cincy you now have a travel partner for WV and you dont add another chartered flight to play them. Teams now fly to Pittsburgh and hop a bus to Morgantown. Now you fly to Cincinnati and its a manageable 4 1/2 hr bus ride to Morgantown. about the same as TCU going to Houston or Lubbock. Which brings us to point 2. By adding Houston there is another bus ride in lieu of another chartered flight for several members of the conference including the 1 that will decide UT. This option makes far and above the most sense it adds the least expense to the current members, and the way their TV deal reads will give them more money in return without adding a trip to Provo, Boise, or Ft Collins.

"In the report, Blaudschun notes “word has it” that invitations have been sent to Cincinnati, Houston, Memphis, UConn, South Florida and Central Florida from the American Athletic Conference, as well as BYU and two other unnamed schools from the AAC."

Yep - for every article posted, they say "nothing official has come out". But I love how one poster said he has heard we are getting kicked out of the Pac12 & they all believe that to be true.
Seriously. My head explodes when trying to look at that. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of Scout's format either. AB or bust!
