“I went into he [postgrad] camp knowing that I was gonna get that scholarship,” OL Jeremiah McCrimmon said. With a little manifestation and showing out at the Buffs' postgraduate camp, McCrimmon found himself with a new opportunity at Colorado.

I will start by saying I know nothing about this stuff and if this is an idiot thread feel free to delete or ridicule me. I read that Disney’s CEO Iger has stated that their linear and cable assets (which I assume includes ESPN) may not be “core” to their business and some sources. seem to think that means they are for sale. If so what does this do to existing conference tv contracts and could it be the source of the PAC 12 holdup? Seriously, I don’t understand any of this and am asking those on the board that may.

“There was no hesitation or questioning,” when 2024 four-star DE Brandon Davis-Swain committed to CU his high school coach Zachary Hilbers said.

More on how Davis-Swain landed in Boulder and what he's working on this summer ⬇️

"I get it everybody wants to make their money there...But at what point do you say I think we are doing a disservice to the kids, because people keep telling me it's all about the kids...No it's not. It's about grownups who dictate what the kids are going to do..."

I just received my renewel notice from the CU AD.
So, when you go into actually renew your tics right before you place the order there is a
an option (a box to check) that says you can "also" receive your tics via text message.
I thought this was a bit weird so I called the CU Tic Office and the guy (Jake) said that this was not an option but it would basically over-ride receiving your tics via email (my preference). Needless to say I did not check the box but this is totally mis leading and incorrect.
I told him he should report this to his superiors (of course, I don't think they work directly for CU any longer) as there will be some pissed off people if this isn't addressed.
This is the way it was explained to me so please call yourself when renewing.

The latest prediction from the Athletic. It is behind a pay wall so will not paste the whole article:

The 5 options listed with some of the article:

1. A Big Three
Prepare to say bye-bye to the phrase “Power 5.” With the Big Ten and SEC making money hand over fist, the top of Division I is already set for clearer stratification by the end of this decade. If nothing significant in the landscape changes and no major new revenue streams pop up, the ACC, Big 12 and Pac-12 will continue to battle for No. 3 billing. Whoever emerges from that battle could become the landing spot for every attractive school the SEC and Big Ten pass on. (My note here, I believe this will be the outcome. I disagree it will be one of these conferences itself, but a mixture of the remaining 3).

2. Notre Dame remains independent
Last week The Athletic’s Pete Sampson explored the present and future of Notre Dame’s independence, including the influential role played by the school’s long-running rights deal with NBC (currently on a contract that lasts through 2025). The story cited two sports media consultants who believe that the Irish could land a new deal with NBC that would pay them around $60 million per year once their current contract runs out. New athletic director Pete Bevacqua, who will replace longtime AD Jack Swarbrick early next year, was previously the chairman of NBC Sports. Meanwhile, NBC has joined Fox and CBS on the Big Ten’s new seven-year, $7 billion rights agreement running through 2030; those schools are expected to bring in more than $70 million per year in media rights revenue alone.

3. The Big Ten and SEC become the AFC and NFC
The two richest leagues are already about to become 16-team conferences, now that each has picked off two big brands for 2024. As Florida State athletic director Michael Alford put it to his board of trustees earlier this year, there’s great fear among those in the ACC, Big 12 and Pac-12 about falling too far behind. “We cannot be $30 million behind every year compared to our peers,” Alford said in February. ( My thoughts, I do not think the networks and streaming services will allow this. Two 20 school conferences only provides up to 20 games once conference play starts. Yes the lower level of college football football will play games, but as we know the American sporting public only real watch what they consider is the top level of a sport is)

4. The appointment of a College Football Czar
Many prominent college football coaches have called for a “czar” who would have the ability to make and change rules unilaterally and run the top level of college football the way the pro leagues operate. It’s a job NCAA leadership is clearly not fulfilling at present. (my thoughts good luck getting conference commishes to do this)

5. FBS-1A and FBS-1B, based on employment status
Almost everyone who works in college sports agrees that the biggest future-facing question is that of athlete compensation. Will players become employees, and, if so, how exactly will that come about? It’s safe to presume that one of several legal dominoes will fall allowing athletes to be paid directly by schools and/or leagues within the next decade. And not every school will want to do that. Fewer still will be able to afford to do it.

At this point I won’t be surprised if our games are streaming Thursday nights on Brazzers & Naughty America.

As we get closer to recruiting picking up again I went and looked at where things stand. 60 in overall ranking and more importantly 31 in average per recruit. Also a very solid P5 offer list.

My wonder is why do we only have 9 commits? While others have continued to sign quality prospects and have class sizes of 18-26 we have been very slow to bring HS players on board.

To be successful long term these next two classes will need somewhere around 25 guys each. I am somewhat concerned that we have been far too focused on the TP to the detriment of recruiting.

Anyone else have any thoughts on why we might be so far behind many in building a solid HS class? It’s going to be hard at this point to get the numbers we need and keep the quality at the level we need. There will be defections we get but we might also lose some as well
