NCAA GDT: Week 4: Don't You Know What It Means to be an Orji Guy?

[GKJ]

Where I disagree is that their supposed "relevance" does anything to help them. This is not resulting in them performing better on the field, marginal performance in attendance, and most importantly will have zero impact moving forward.

If this was going to result in them levelling up in either they play or long term success sure then it would be good but they are getting two years of bad football and no long term benefit.

The only people benefitting is Deion selling his brand and Shedeur being over drafted next spring.

It’s helping them because they’re a draw. They ain’t firing him. At least not yet. They boost the money coming into the program, they can boost their NIL. It’s unorthodox, that’s why i was pulling for it to work. No one there is obtuse, they know the score. Last year after the Nebraska game, they already had the bowl committees after them. Didn’t work out obviously.

This is sports, but this is still the entertainment business, and entertainment is built on stars and draws.

I agree they aren't firing him because they have decided entertainment is more important than football. I doubt it does much for the NIL and certainly not long term when Deion leaves in the summer.

I would say sports is still built on winning. The teams that draw the most win, and Deion is not bringing any of that to Colorado, now or long term.

Hiring Deion may not have been the best football decision for CU, but it was absolutely the best business decision that program could've made.

The money they'll make from this experiment might be enough to boost the program up a tier or two long term.

One thing to consider about that, because of the fall of the Pac 12, there's gonna be west coast kids who will need somewhere close to home to play, but don't make or don't want to go to one of those Big Ten schools, or all the travel in the ACC. It will help schools like that that may be away from home, but not that far.

Brent Pry is on the clock. Can’t be losing to Vanderbilt and Rutgers (at home) and think you’re getting to where you think you should be.

They weren't a dead program though, they had one bad year because of Mel Tucker screwing them over.

One bad year? You just lost all credibility

As pointed out already in this thread the tickets sales aren't much better than they were pre-Deion.

This has already been debunked

Except that doesn't debunk anything.


And yes they had one terrible year other than that the vast majority of the years are the same level as they had last season under Deion.

You said attendance was only “marginally improved” since Deion became HC. They’re averaging 107% capacity and 10k extra fans per game compared to the year before Deion.

If that’s marginal improvement what would you consider significant improvement?

I would say more than 10k a noticeable difference that would take them up a level in terms of money and impact on the program. That has not happened under Deion.

Yeah you’re right, they should be playing for 200% capacity crowds. Have a good one

No I am right the attendance numbers aren't going to do anything to improve the program.

Keep overrating the PR machine and ignoring reality.

Stop claiming you're right if you're going to do zero research and put zero effort into this.

How the Colorado Buffaloes became the hottest ticket in college football: By the numbers

Colorado's one of the biggest college football turnarounds this season and tickets to Buffalo games are now some of the most expensive in the country.

www.usatoday.com

The program is likely raking in 9+ figures more than they were before hiring Deion.

An extra 200 bucks a ticket across 50K tickets per game is over 50M a season. That's ticket sales alone.

Those are going to re-sale ticket brokers, not the school, they aren't getting any of that

Great what is that going to do for the program? It isn't improving them in the short term they were as bad last season as they were under Dorrell and worse than under McIntyre. This year they don't look an better and needed luck/refs to beat a FCS team and terrible Baylor team.

Long term they aren't using that money to improve their recruiting/facilities. They aren't using it to hire better coaches, bring in quality players.

So again all Deion has down is bring in more hype to himself and his son. none of what he has brought to Colorado has improved the program short term or long term.
