Rumors of Certain Regents Potentially Voting Against MT Contract
- Thread starter Wyo Buff
- Start date
I have a friend who knows him a little. His take on him is he's trying to use the Regents position as a springboard for higher political office, and all of this is merely a way to get his name out there. My buddy's impression of him is that he's a total light weight and a douche.
That is good news if true - it means he will be gone soon

Buff games are not meant for "winding down". They are meant to be an intensely neurotic 5 hours of cynicism and emotional instability.
Come on guys, he has tons of experience, he was student body president at Cu Denver! He is well prepared to sit on the board of multimillion dollar institution and spout nonsensical logic. The good thing about this is he is getting his name out there, as an imbecile, so when he does run for some other office he won’t slip through unnoticed.
I felt like this whole thing was a perfect set-up for a one liner in one of those awful TV ads...
"As a CU Regent, Jack voted against exorbitant contracts for coaches and stood up for students", something like that.
I've always felt that one needs to establish oneself as a credible voice in the world before seeking public office. I guess that's not his approach.
Move to the other forum if so incline, junta.

Yes! People named John often go by Jack. Guess he wants to live in the Clancy universe.

Allbuffs tweet this? CU football actually does cure cancer.
I guess that is a bit more sophisticated than what I imagine his slogan was the running for student body president
“A vote for Jack is a vote for free cookies in the library”
At a heavily commuter populated campus like that, I bet the turnout for student elections is astoundingly low

What a ****ing wiener. That’s a punchable face.
This guy needs to go.
The Scripps family just sent you a message, kroll.

Whatever higher office he runs for, everyone vote for him so he moves on. Counter politics
He needs to campaign to overturn Title IX.
Or, you know, just don't vote for him at all. For anything. Ever.
Yes. There is $140M in debt being financed within that budget. If new debt is not being accrued (i.e., debt service is covered within a balanced budget) then that's a silly thing to harp upon. AD makes $85M a year. Would he harp on someone who made $85k a year having a $140k mortgage?
Of course, that’s 140k not being used for cancer research.

You’re suggesting we try to outsmart the Peter Principle?
In my fantasy world, Phillip Anschutz swoops in and pays off the $140m facilities “debt”, thus totally undermining the silly “cancer research” and “debt” arguments and making these idots look foolish. That guy is a HUGE benefactor to medical advancement at CU. Shut em up shamefully in one fell swoop.
Except then they would still entirely miss the point that the direction of donated money doesn’t mean everyone who didn’t get a slice should be outraged, they’d still claim credit for the philanthropy and consider it a reward for the heroic stand they took. Plus, that’s the model these people love - whine and shame and flail your brave little hipster arms until someone else comes in and pays for your juvenile expensive nebulous “righteous” ideas, rather than face the real world of work and balancing complex trade-offs.
Millennials man...millennials.

If I remember correctly, we raised 150 million for the facilities and invested it as an endowment, and issued 150 million or so in bonds to pay for the facilities. In other words, we could pay off the bonds today, if we wanted, but we would lose more money annually than we would save. I might be mistaken.

That would be pretty funny if he was just spoofing Gundy.

Uh...those are a lot of big words that sound SUSPICIOUSLY like big business jargon to a cool guy like Jack. Your mature knowledge and experience is no match for his feelings, youthful pluck, and innate virtue.
I would love to see that kid waltz into RG’s office and start trying to tell him “how it is”. Just imagine the look on Rick’s face as he calmly and pleasantly listens to this kid give his impassioned speech with a nervous tremor in his voice, followed by a little nod from RG, a little smile trying to hide how pathetic he thinks he is, leans back in his chair, furrows his brow, and calmly replies, “....who are you again?”. And then condescendingly thanks him for his input, and calls him “Jeremy” as he walks him out of his office, and gives a slightly amused but “don’t ever put a meeting with this kid on my calendar again” look to his secretary.

I seriously would like to know of another institution of higher learning that has current employees (who are married to other current employees) that serve on their board of regents. This is Mickey Mouse **** and a conflict of interest. That loophole needs to be closed yesterday.
