Someone in the administration at Colorado must have worked out the return on investment (ROI) for Coach Prime.

You always see the rosy economic impact articles about how much a sporting event/stadium will bring to a community, they surely did that before throwing all that paper at Coach Prime.

They obviously got a huge bump in season ticket sales, merch, and national exposure, but would that offset his salary, facility costs, and coaching salaries? It seems he leaves after this season and Colorado will be right back to irrelevance, so it seems a huge cost for a short period gain.

You forgot to mention donations from wealthy alumni. I know a very high wealth guy who went to CU and he has been donating a shit ton to them the last two years. Enough that he gets field passes.

Now we are getting somewhere. Did not realize this topic would prove to be a bridge too far for many posters, but there must have been a risk/reward analysis by the administration at Colorado that showed a reasonable ROI for the risk.

The clicks/likes/follows that Coach Prime brings even while losing does have some value for Colorado.

It has become quite the family business as you see one of the sons following around and recording everything which is then heavily edited and put on a social media platform which Coach Prime likely monetizes as well. The coach that said he was in this for wins and not clicks/likes was actually on to something.

hell yeah, a Friday night Saturday AM Clawmaster trotline post

Obviously Saban's tenure + success makes his economic impact/value at the top of the heap for college coaches.

But Sanders elevation of the profile of the Buffaloes program even in a short-stint likely reaps sufficient economic and recruitment rewards for University of Colorado and the surrounding area to make it worth whatever the delta is between the cost of Deion and staff vs whomever else Colorado might have hired instead of Prime Time. Buffaloes were going to have to pay some coaching staff regardless.

Reading stuff about Coach Prime from Saban in my newsfeeds today, claiming his short tenure at an HBCU impacted TV deals.

Do find the economic impact claims to be a bit dubious, did people really move to Alabama just to be close to Nick Saban?

You have to do a bit of digging to find out why people really moved to Tuscaloosa, and it has quite a bit to do with the opening of a Mercedes-Benz plant, the first automotive plant in Alabama which employs over 6,000 people.

When you start to analyze the economic impact reports they fall apart quickly.

isn't it possible, maybe even likely that the leveling up the largest provider of an educated workforce in Tuscaloosa drew Mercedes to increase their investment in the area? If you compare population and economic growth for Alabama to neighbors middle Tennessee, north Georgia or North Carolina, Alabama grew but it grew less than those neighboring regions. Comparing Alabama to traditional comp Mississippi, Tuscaloosa and Alabama overall gained population every year from 2010 to 2022 while Mississippi experienced a net loss in population, Jackson, Mississippi leading the way down:

Biggest thing is probably Saban's success and Alabama's increased visibility nationwide bringing in out-of-state students to Alabama at such an increase, that's going to help the area and greater Alabama economically and demographically.

Deion should be charged with assault of a child for not spending more money on the offensive line.
