That's neat and all but Prime has what maybe this year and next to make Colorado a conference contender? His act is gonna wear out if the results stay flat.
And in last year's magical 9-4 season they didn't have to play any of the top 3 teams in the Big 12. Oh, and they got curb stomped by Nebraska, who went 3-6 in the B1G.

But yeah, retiring his number makes perfect sense. Lol. I'm actually surprised SS is letting his dad do this. I'd be embarrassed as hell knowing I didn't deserve it.

That seems insane but honestly it's well worth it. No matter what you think of Deion, people watch him... a lot of people. AKA $$$$

It's objectively good for the Big 12. Who knows if it's good for Colorado.

So far it's helped them financially at least with mixed football results. Their football results certainly aren't better than Campbell's first few years.

It's going to get annoying but BYU being the #1 highest payroll basketball program in the country and out-recruiting Duke consistently is going to be good for the Big 12 too. I'm thinking regardless of reform that billionaire is going to find some way to pay players.

Man the reaction from the Prime fans on social media is scary. Just attacking anyone who doesn't crown this as the greatest thing CFb has ever seen. It's as cult like as the CC crowd, biggest difference is, Prime encourages his fans to be like this almost every time he talks. He's created a mighty social media weapon though his being hated narrative.

I saw some interviews of "fans" during games and a lot of them were just random ladies in their 40s and 50s who have been romantically infatuated with Prime their entire adult life and flew to Colorado to be groupies like Beatlemania. I'm not sure that kind of thing is sustainable but the nationwide prime fan base is a little weird.

The only thing similar I've seen in sports is one time I went to a Bulls game at the United Center (post Jordan) and it was pretty obvious a third of the crowd were young ladies in love with Allen Iverson. They would squeal with delight whenever he had the ball or did anything or was shown on the big screen monitors.

Shadeur and Hunter will have their jerseys retired at the Colorado spring game. Kordell Stewart and Darien Hagen, the two best QBs to ever play there don't have their numbers retired. That's wild.
This is some good satire. At least I hope it is satire, the state of college athletics these days, you just don't konw.
