Perhaps CSU should reduce spending and cut the losses in football.  We do not need 2 powerhouse football teams in Colorado - not a college football state.  Participation in HS football has dropped dramatically and yet, the 2 highest paid public employees in the state are football coaches - with 9 assistant football coaches at CSU making between $150K and $550K (considerably more than professors earn with adjuncts paid food bank wages - faculty generate the profit they spend on football).  

CSU has dramatically increased spending, salaries and money thrown at football but investment into the product that produces profit, education, has remained flat. They borrow 100% for an unneeded new half billion football stadium on the academic campus when they should have maintained and upgraded Hughes instead of deferring maintenance. They dream about Big 12 when they should be a FCS school,  reduce spending and keep tuition affordable.  Priorities are off with no accountability.
