Yeah, who would ever want a link to Klutch Sports (rep Koa and Burries), benefitting from the marketing reach of Brons businesses, and someone on the team who is very influential with a few elite '25 and '26 recruits?

Im afraid d the NIL has caught up to us a lot sooner than most of us thought. College sports may need to restart with an ameture league and a pro league. It's one thing to get a booster to pitch in a million or two a couple times a decade. But those kind of donations aren't happening every year ...

I'd just look at the transfer portal for mid-major players. With all the one and dones, and unlimited transfers by players, why waste any time on developing freshmen?

Keep looking at Euros of course, just don't make them the core of the program.

He sucks. Lots of local stories out of Boulder about his personal behavior where he believes rules don’t apply to him.

After lessons learned in the Euro chase, Mick Cronin lands Skyy Clark and Kobe Johnson in the transfer portal. Dominic Harris is likely to join them in the coming days. Ilane Fibleuil and Will McClendon have both entered the transfer portal from UCLA's side thus far. That's a pretty good influx of ...

Talking to Longhorned was incredibly illuminating. He’s on the faculty senate and has been privy to a lot of the behind the scenes stuff that I’m not sure I can mention here, so I’ll let him tell it if he chooses to if/when he returns to the board.

An example is why should Robbins (a state employee) have received a cash bonus when the deal closed? The whole inventive structure is fucked up and should be flagged as a reason why the blazing red flags were intentionally ignored.
