Colorado Administration Views the Big 12 as a 'JUCO League'

With conference realignment back in full swing, there has been plenty of speculation as to whether or not the Pac-12 could fall apart in the near future. If it does, could teams end up in the Big 12? One team that has come up as a possible future Big 12 team is Colorado, who of […]

This is not a quote from Colorado administration, just a Denver Post columnist’s opinion of how the administration would feel about B12.

I suppose whomever it was that said it must think the Mountain West is a better option.

I stopped really paying attention when they said, "sicem365 radio show".

 

[More Frogs the Better]

I don't take that as fact but it is at least consistent with some of the other attitudes that come out of that conference. If that's the direction they want to go, we'll see how it works out for them. The Big 12 may lack a Stanford or Cal but if they end up in a conference with Boise State and UNLV, they may learn that the real world and academia don't always intersect.

Nice use of umlaut but FIFY

I am sure this is the administrator thoughts. He or she is tied heavily tied to California education institutions. They are not football people. It is something that may kill their football program. I do not think they would care that much.

please don't use this site to fish for followers

we already have enough posters who follow "media" on twitter with less than 30 followers

WE'll just have to beat the dog out of 'em up there.

So, a Denver Post columnist wants some clicks. "Controversy" is invented and disseminated. Insults (imagined or otherwise) are hurled...

College Administrators, especially those at CU, are looney-tune characters. (See: E. Gordon Gee) Why any of us here in Texas should give a parboiled crap what some egghead in an oxygen-deprived fit blurted out (or didn't) is a mystery.

AGREE, I feel sorry for those PAC 12 administrators. I mean you have to deal with the unwashed local alumni who are not
erudite enough to see how low lite the B12 institutions really are, and then there are those monied alumni who really count anyway. I believe that we should just be kind and gently close the door after so much time has passed, so those poor administrators can save face.

 

[Bizarro Frog]

The PAC 12 has an over inflated sense of self. Frogs are an 8 point favorite on the road with a new head coach. I like CU so I am not going to rub it in when we crush them but it’s going to be fun.

I think the Frogs are going to win 9+ games this regular season. We have the talent and the players are going to have fun for the first time in a long time. We are going to score, score and score again.

 

[CountryFrog]

We are going to score, score and score again.

So then the question becomes whether or not 21 points will be enough for us to win.

BFD. College Administrators, especially those at CU, are looney-tune characters. (See: E. Gordon Gee) Why any of us here in Texas should give a parboiled crap what some egghead in an oxygen-deprived fit blurted out (or didn't) is a mystery.

The headline says Colorado admins view B12 as juco league. No admin interviews, polls, quotes. Just a columnist saying “I think blah blah…” This is journalism today. No doubt some Colorado admins think that B12 schools are juco academically. They didn’t get the memo that unfortunately academics influence over athletics is waning. If they don’t understand this they will soon be juco athletically.

some recent seasons that would be 9 pts

 

[Brog]

Given all its present problems, the Denver Post is close to being a JUCO newspaper.

I paid for my niece's education at CU. It weren't cheap. My interactions with the faculty, and administration were... interesting. A few were quite smart and engaging. A few.

As it is, I don't think any one of us should give a hoot in hell about what they may or may not think. Their position is pretty danged lousy at present, and we have a great deal to offer them: A spot in an important Conference, or increasing irrelevance. Besides, the garden-variety marxists infesting University Administration in these sad times would rather see Football go away. Oh, they like the money that pours in from it, but they hate the game and everything about it.

I guess they are like Missouri, where "belonging" means more than winning...
