And so it begins...(tracking Coach Prime decommits/transfers)

We all saw this coming when the AD said after they hired Sanders that they didn't have enough money to pay his yearly salary. They sold their souls to get the attention that goes with Prime. I'm not sure how CU can continue to operate like they are with coaches salaries if their athletic department is so hamstrung financially. Plus I'm not sure how much NIL support they have from boosters. At least since Prime arrived they should be making more money from selling additional Buffalo merchandise.
I dont think they have a lot of booster support which is kind of crazy for the amount of wealthy families that have kids go there.

I'm sure a lot of their high dollar NIL talent will start hitting the Portal at some point.

They rebranded a lot of their gear with Prime's logo on it. So I would imagine he gets a pretty high percentage on the sales of it. I think that was actually in his contract if I remember right.

I lived there quite a few years ago, and most of their students come from out of state. I have no idea if that’s still the case,

My wife (New Jersey), and her two roommates (Laguna Beach, CA and Oak Grove, WI) agree with this. But this was the late 90’s into early 2000s.

a friend of mine grew up in the Boulder area and graduated from CU. He is a big sports fan but doesn't support CU. He's a Broncos & Rockies fan. Seems most people in Colorado are more interested in pro sports. He's worth 100's of millions of dollars and could give a shit about their athletics. Amazing venture capitalist/businessman. He started Yard House Restaurants and sold it for $495 million. Everything he touches seems to turn to gold but CU doesn't see a penny of it. If I had his money the Huskers would be getting the Top 2 Offensive Tackles in the Portal
 
Why is this getting leaked now? I do wonder if Deion is paving the way for leaving. This is the stuff you would leak if you wanted to say "it's not me - it's Colorado, they don't match my ambition."

I just don't think Deion is attractive for any of the bigger schools. Doesn't feel like there's any heat on him getting a better job.

I think question for him is does he want to go back to TV or stay at CU? I guess he's staying since there hasn't been a rush to the portal. Jordan Seaton would be gone the second he hears Deion is leaving.

Maybe he'd like to Husk In Power for a change

Yea I have a hard time believing he’s leaving at this point. Wouldnt surprise me if Deion waited til the last second to retire & fuck over his players but doubt it.

The nfl carousel is just starting but haven’t seen squat that he’s on any team’s radar & that is a long long shot.

He hasn't been on a single team's radar college or pro that I've seen? Outside of a bit of FSU talk that was never gonna happen anyway.

Odd for a 9-3 HC to receive zero smoke about another job. 🤔🤔🤔

Seeing the implosion at CU if this actually happens…

I Hope Please GIF
 
I always thought the Bowls provided the gifts - not the schools.
I can tell you that when the Husker WBB team went to the NIT and then the NCAA tourney, the girls got gear from Adidas...not sure about the NCAA providing gifts but I know the equipment folks got tons of shit. VBall gets ALL KINDS of shit for going to the NCAAs.
 
The bowls do give some gifts but the schools have to pay for events and excursions. Think of all the stuff NU got to do in NY. CU couldn’t afford any of that so they just sat in the hotel and probably didn’t get wined and dinned like NU players did.
Sounds like they got some tiddies in their faces
