Who is our biggest rival?

[NashBuff]

Given that CSU might build their stadium, I have to say there is the potential for this rivalry growing. That decision on the stadium will come in August. That decision might have a big impact on the CU-CSU rivalry and college sports in this state.

I said it here first: I won't be shocked if the Pac-12 extends an invite to CSU down the road if that stadium gets built. This would be done to keep the Big 12 out of Colorado and Utah (BYU). I know there is some negativity towards BYU but when money speaks, you never know what could happen.

CSU-CU will be hotter than Nebraska-CU if both teams are in the same conference. Hopefully Utah-CU gets hot so maybe the conference won't have to invite CSU. That is why I have been pushing Utah hard

Sigh. Remember when you said CU should join the MWC? The bolded is on the same level.

BYU will never NEVER be in the PAC 12.

I honestly think a CSU invite to the Pac is very, very unlikely. They just don't bring enough to the table. CU won three conference titles it's first year in the league. Name me ONE sport where CSU could realistically have a shot at winning a Pac title. They would have to get a lot better, and the stadium would have to be filled every week, and there would have to be about an extra half million television sets in Northern Colorado. It's possible, but extremely unlikely, IMO.

Building a 42,000 seat stadium isn't going to get CSU an invitation to a major conference. Even if they filled it they would be a revenue drag on the conference and I see no way in the world that they come close to filling it for anything other than a game with us. They have no significant impact on the TV market, no status to the conference based on a glorious history, in short they don't add enough to justify inclusion.
