So you're saying I'm bullshitting this? Umm ok but I'm not and that is what I was told by a employee the other week. I don't know the details and what all it entails but I did get the price range out of him.

No that's simply not true at all

I would rep you if you get a reliable mole from inside the Chancellor's and President's offices.
Any scoop originating from within the AD is, by nature, of suspect value and is subject to veto or material modification by those higher up in the food chain.
Completely understandable. I really have no doubts that this will get done and it will be the $225M-$250M option, just when. I was told that they are about to go public with the smaller donors fundraising. Maybe that's what the event a few weeks ago was trying to accomplish? Dunno but time will tell I guess.

The "just when" is the most disheartening part of the equation. The answer might involve the timing of a retirement announcement by various administrators who are running out of gas.
Agreed. It's weird, I've heard both Benson and DiStefeno want top level athletics, but the results don't show it. Is it just them having no ****ing idea how to do it without pissing off the people of Boulder (not sure why they worry so much about them)?
OMFGasm is a CSU AD employee. Just sayin.

I want my own ski area, a private lithium hot springs, and a fourteener named after me.
"Wanting" and "getting results" are two very different things.
They may want top level athletics, but they haven't made a priority of it.
Judging from behavior, Benson's priority is the Med Center development and long term higher ed funding.
DiStephano's priority appears to be keeping the boss happy through management of the Boulder Campus. Minimize scandals & red ink while keeping CU an accredited research facility are important.
Having a ranked football program and going to a bowl game is not one of their sacred cows. Seems to me that the message from university leadership is, "Competitive athletics is nice to have but its not a "have to have".
