Goodbye Hawk and good luck CU!

Well said!

Dumb statement!

I can think of one way it causes financial harm. No conference football championship with ten teams. Loss of sponsorship revenue for the game. One less game and the loss of memorabilia, clothing revenue. A loss of a recruiting tool for potential students and a loss of free national exposure for recruiting. That may not be that big of a concept to some CU fans. But if you are Texas or OU, it is. If you can go into a top recruits house and say that we have played on National TV x amount of times, then it invaluable.
Exposure is one reason CU wants to move west.
The PAC 10 wanted the Denver market. They added exposure and potential TV revenue.
I am not anti-Buff by any stretch. But, to defend CU's athletic department is mind boggling. Season ticket revenue down, alumni angry and fan apathy and to think everything will be better by going west! Even ii it were to increase their revenue, Bohn has not proven that he can turn anything around.
I am sorry but I don't think CU would even have considered moving had they been more competitive in the major revenue producing sports.

Then CU should stop negotiating an early exit! Either they stay or leave early, and if they leave early, they give up their negotiated allotted revenue. Does CU really have the funds to play lawyer chicken? No!
Next question. How many people care? 19 comments in two days. Check the student section during the next home football game blowout loss. See how many students are left by games end. Playing in a small stadium, enrollment numbers of 30,000 and CU can't sell out all of it's home games?
Your 1,000 pound bison may look tough but in reality isn't. More for show.

It is a bit sanctimonious for CU to demand full buyout fee from Jeff Bzdelik but refuses to pay a full buyout fee to leave the Big 12 early.
Why is it an unreasonable for the big 12 to ask CU to fulfill their legal obligation as per the agreement all members signed. Yet, CU balks at fulfilling their legal obligation.

CU doesn't have the money to buy out of the Big 12. They are bluffing and hoping that the Big 12 would rather see them in the Pac 10, 11, or 12 (whatever you want to call it) sooner rather than later. CU could not afford to buy out their head coach.... what makes anyone think they can get into a spitting contest with a conference that has big money players like Texas, OU, OSU and A&M. CU hasn't won on the field and they can't win off the field. The one consolation is that DiStefano is handling the negotiation and not Bohn. While CU is making all these changes, get rid of Bohn. All he has done is make three head coaching hires for his three major sports. One he fired already, one should have been fired, and one was smart enough to know when to get out. When will it get better?

Another fluff column. One of the better CU players leaves and everything is going swimmingly?

Perhaps prune your trees beforehand and don't wait for heavy weighted down limbs to break. Or do what I did, go out and knock the ice/snow off the trees several times during the storm.

Night Clutch!
