Colorado's First Spring Game With Deion Sanders Nets Absurd Profit

by Larry Leo

May 28, 202319 Comments

it didn't take long for Deion Sanders change Colorado football...

quote:
Athletic director Rick George told BuffZone.com that the program turned a $200,000 profit on the spring game from ticket sales alone. Add another $123,000 from merchandise sold and you have one of the most profitable days the program has ever seen.

“It was positive revenue for us and it was really good exposure for us to be on national TV,” George said. "“It was a good day for Colorado athletics.”

$300k? Is that a big deal in college football? Is this satire?

Absurd? I don't think that word means what you think it means.

I certainly hope he is smart enough to understand the difference between gross revenue and profit

Charging for a spring game
....that is shameful.

No one forced anyone to buy a ticket.

Man it’s going to be fun watching that ship sink. They’ve set expectations way too high.

$300,000 was the most profitable day Colorado football has ever seen?

Larry, know how we know you grew up poor?

LSU spent that much in fines alone for rushing the field.

Surely, earning a spot in a big bowl game would net the school a bigger profit. It's been a while, but CU has been in New Year's Day type bowls before.

Awesome. Alabama makes that from a regular off season day of merchandise sales.

Anybody who says college football is not a business is out of their fricking mind

Deion looks cool with the cowboy hat. Reminds me of Bum Phillips.

Deion puts on a good show, but in a Power5 conference, it’s all about wins. If he doesn’t win, his act will wear very thin, and soon.

"Absurd Profit"? Larry Leo is apparently NOT an OT Baller.
