I don't have any inside information about this, but it seems reasonable that Hawk wanted a 5 year commitment before he came to Boulder.
What if Hawk said to Bohn, 4 years ago, "look, CU's football program is scraping bottom. You've had ridiculous recruiting restrictions in place, you don't have enough lineman for a scout team, etc. So, I'll come but only if you promise me certain things, like an indoor practice facility, and a minimum of 5 years--I have to build the program from the ground up and I want to be in a position where I can do that, where I can redshirt guys, etc."
And what if Bohn said, "OK, deal."
What does Bohn do now?
