Colorado's Budget Crisis: How Would You Solve It?

The latest news has Colorado staying in the Big 12 until 2012 so they can avoid losing a lot of money in penalties. Last year they didn't fire Dan Hawkins, mostly because they couldn't afford his contract buyout. 

The University of Colorado clearly has a money problem. How would you solve it?

They could get the whole football team to go out and sell candy bars or coupons. Worked for our football team - but going door to door kinda sucks.

Just give up. Sell themselves to Nebraska. We don't have money problems. We'd rename it "Nebraska - The Rockies Campus" and it'd be a nicer place to visit.

They could take a shower, shave,put on a decent suit and try getting a real job for once in their lives, huh?

They oughta make a killing selling those licensed Tyler Hansen jerseys this season. They'll be fine.

Even better: Hawkins wants an extension.

Join the PAC?

Put lots of Bologna, Mac, and Cheese on the cafeteria menu.
(and you thought I was going to reference Ralphie burgers)

Move students out of the dorms, rent the rooms to tourists.

Violate NCAA rules, ask the NCAA to ban all sports for 3 years.

Move Hawkins to an administrative position, auction off “Coach for a week”

Rent out campus greens for livestock grazing.

Convert campus building heat, hot water, and lighting to wood burning stoves.

Go to Vegas yearly, bet it all on red.

Use players for custodial work during “Practice”

Sell blood (the juice and cookie will be a nice change up from bologna, Mac, and Cheese)

Threaten not to leave the Big 12! If they don’t leave, it really throws a wrench in the works for the new television contract and revenue sharing plan. TA&M leaves for SEC. UT leaves for PAC. OU and Okie Lite go somewhere. CU picks up the exit fees, then leaves for the PAC themselves.

Yes, there is a scenario whereby CU can destroy the Big 12 by not leaving!

Joking aside, this really is sad.

Hope I'm not too late, but

how about joining a conference that isn’t going to put your financial books in the red every year based on transportation alone? I hear the Mountain West is hiring looking…
