Ha! I’d gladly take B1G or SEC and roll the dice if that turns out to be true. When CU invests in FB the results are there so I disagree with that theory.

sec would be fun with Prime at the hc.
sure the competition is fierce but it would still be good football. i'd take it. maybe the sec wants to grab, say, oregon, uw, us, and arizona? western expansion FTMFW. that would be a real nice **** you to the big.

Message Board Geniuses are lurking for material.
He's really good actually. He's been doing realignment stuff for a long time and understands the intricacies of it.
CU is in a conference realignment “scared straight“ program. Only when faced with the prospect of relegation into a hellscape conference did the administration realize that trying in football actually matters if you want to fund the department at break even or better.
you like what they are paying and doing now?
wait a year if prime and staff manage a decent season. back up the brink's truck for everyone. we are ****ing back.
Very reputable when it comes to realignment. He was one of those major insiders during the last major realignment back in 2010 when CU jumped to the P12. Has real connections to Illinois and Illinois is where the B1G Academic Alliance is based at.
He implored everyone back then to think like a college president instead of athletic director. I read his blogs back then and I still apply what I learned from him when it comes to realignment. Only difference between the P12 and B12 is that the P12 has more AAU members but all the public universities are Tier 1 research schools. That even includes UCF & Cincinnati in the Big 12 and that is why I bought zero stock in any rumor of Boise State joining the Big 12 or Pac 12 because they are not a Tier 1 research school.
That is why I would not be shocked if CU ends up in the B1G very soon but I think CU is still Big 12 bound.
Here's a good list for you: https://cehd.gmu.edu/assets/docs/faculty/tenurepromotion/institutions-research-categories.pdf

Allbuffs Sunday Times edition - Value and the Colorado Doctrine
The #1 excuse I hear about CU and the B1G/SEC is we don’t bring enough value.
After you get past the trolls, argument is never about academics or fit.
Delivering $65-70M a year is nuts. Oregon and Washington do not drive that. It’s unlikely anyone in the ACC does either. But by default no one left does (excluding ND).
Yet I’d argue for the 2023 season CU will deliver over $65-70M in value.
Our tv ratings will top all other schools.
2024 and 2025 will likely be the same. Over $65-70M. Does anyone doubt that?
To me, the question held against CU is what happens after Prime.
Before we answer that, Colorado proved it can be the center of the college football world.
No one believed that was possible but here we are. So that’s one dispelled argument, that no one cares about Colorado. Clearly that’s false.
So what happens next in 2026, 2027 or beyond? It’s the biggest blocker we have for the B1G/SEC.
We need the Colorado Doctrine
to keep this going.
It says (working draft):
️s will come. Prime has proven it.
Coordinators are the not so secret sauce. We pay coordinators and the HC experience is far less important imho. The HC needs to pull recruits to CU - period.
CU can maintain our brand value if we stick to a doctrine. I can see the appeal to build our own Dabo or Kirby HC and program but we have to be different about it here. Or at least try.
What I’m proposing isn’t that crazy. MLB teams have a playbook they use for their organization. If anyone is awake in the Champions Center they’d start writing this while Prime is in the building. Like, now.

- If all else fails pay top dollar for a traditional coach + coordinators (the “well duh” option)
- Double triple down on social media and access forever

We all look forward to seeing the members, networks and conferences. You may indeed to right, but no network is taking those numbers with current uncertainty surround Prime staying or not staying at CU. They just don’t take those types of risks in early phases of a transformation, IMO.Allbuffs Sunday Times edition - Value and the Colorado Doctrine

Klatt discussed the probability of the B1G and SEC kicking teams out. He seems pretty confident it’s eventually going to happen.
That makes sense to me - if this is truly going to reach its endgame. You will need to boot the small or duplicative markets to optimize with new schools
From the Utah 247 board…
For those without a sub - Basically, guys says a Syracuse booster claims the ACC wants to add the 7 Pac 10 AAU members for form an “ACC West” playing 1 game across the other two ACC Divisions. Claims ESPN likes it and has agreed to increasing current ACC deal by $10m per school.
Here’s the best part of the rumor… ESPN would take the game slots needed for that from the Big 12, which would be relegated to ESPN+ exclusively.

CU should just play this RS out. That will ultimately give them the best options.
Probably the best plan on the board. Even if Harvard ever wanted to go FBS, ACC would be the best conference for themFrom the Utah 247 board…

You would think the PAC-12 will end up being Mountain West and American schools. As long as the Pac-12 got automatic bids, they will always be attractive to G5s.
Hard for me to buy this. The last part has B12 playing all their games on ESPN+. Sounds like shade

So quick math… $10M x 14 ACC schools = $140M + 7 P12 schools x $40M = $420M per year from ESPN.

Not dissing Frank the Tank at all, but he's twitter posting an interview some SLC station did with ****ing Shapiro?
That's 9 million more than the B12 deal. Is ESPN open to giving 210 million more to the ACC when they have the ultimate sweetheart deal with an ironclad GOR? This is definitely a win-win for
Utah
Colorado
Stanford
Cal
Oregon
Washington
Arizona
Definitely a win for basketball
The research payoff is massive but this is all about ESPN

There is no research payoff. As for ESPN, I don't see what's in it for them, but I would love to be wrong. Even better scenario is just top 8 of PAC + top 8 of ACC if we're really dreaming.
