Maybe it's just me but I don't get the allure of adding CO…. They pretty much blow in all major sports and Boulder is a small market. Sure it's close to Denver but that's about the only positive
As the only P5 in the state wouldn't their market be most, if not all, of Colorado? Or am I assuming too much? I honestly don't know.
It's buying a potentially promising stock very low. If CU was what we wanted it to be this instant, they'd be in the Big 10 by now, or at the very least on their radar.
In other words, an investment. If Deion wasn't there I'd feel entirely differently about it, but as it is, I feel pretty good about Primetime building them into an upper echelon conference team within 5 years.
It's a risk, of course, but as least we're open to taking some. If it was George McClelland Bowlsby still in charge we'd be waiting another 10 years before he woke up and thought about poaching another school.
