Notebook: Braun stays tight-lipped about starters ahead of season opener

That's my point. Every sport saw a major increase in the max scholarships allowed. Elite programs in a sport will likely have the pull to max out scholarships. Then every competing school with a comparable or an up and coming program will want to keep up with the Jone's. There's only so much money for scholarships school wide at a university. Lots of tough decisions.

How attractive is the NU AD position?

S
In the grand scheme of things, do we think the AD position here is seen as a good gig? Just curious what home team perspectives are on this.

On one hand:
* You're sitting on a gorgeous, relatively new on-campus facility
* You're walking into the job with a brand new stadium on the way
* Your revenue sports are generally doing okay
* Your Olympics sports aren't so bad, either
* Even when your programs aren't doing so well, it will be a while before anyone calls for your ouster
* You're a member school of the wealthiest conference in college sports

On the other hand:
* Relatively speaking, this is a pretty small-time operation
* If the Big Ten goes all Hunger Games...NU is not well positioned to survive
* Our NIL strategy is, relatively speaking, not very aggressive
* It's unlikely that our revenue sports will ever be serious contenders for anything other than "a good showing"
* Your bosses are idiots. One who clearly doesn't care a lot about sports, and the other who you will probably have to worry about getting in the way at key points

I'm asking because I like the look of Mark Jackson on paper...my only worry is the potential for him seeing NU as a stepping stone for greener pastures (that wouldn't have stopped me from taking Phillips when we did).

Deon Sanders chaotic culture turns into locker room violence

Some players aren't suited for "Prime Time," or at least that's what the CU staff wants everyone to believe. But conversations with those who've left Boulder reveals the true nature of the culture within the Buffaloes program. A few former players have spoken anonymously to Athlon, fearing retaliation, if they went on the record.

"It's like a real-life Grand Theft Auto video game," one former player said. "There are many distractions with fights, guns, and money floating around. The environment is unlike any I’ve come from before."

Another former player went deeper into the violent incidents within CU's football program, recounting three separate alleged occurrences over the past year, each unfathomable in any normal locker room. This insight sheds light on what happened with former five-star talent Cormani McClain and why his experience in Boulder was negative.

"Cormani was taking a lot of heat from everyone," said the former player. "At the same time Coach Prime was saying he was in the doghouse and needed to improve, Cormani was getting bullied by Shilo (Sanders). After the Oregon State game, Shilo slapped him several times, which left Cormani screaming 'I'm going to kill you' repeatedly. After that, you could tell he wasn’t mentally there. It’s hard when the coaches you trust are calling you derogatory names on the practice field."

Sean Keeler: Deion Sanders, 4-8 coach, gave a 3-9 news conference. He showed Colorado fans a four-letter side they hadn’t seen before: Fear

BOULDER, Colo. — A 4-8 coach gave a 3-9 news conference. This was Deposition Deion, a cornered and condescending man, the perennial victim who ain’t got time for mere mortals.
