Glad you're back !!!! The money is more in away of a Thank you which, I think, Coach appreciates. Coach got them to vastly improve the quality of the food at the cafeteria not only for his team but for all the teams at CU. SO that is part of it too. CU is putting money back into the program giving coach a bigger budget for hiring better coaches to help him. There is more involved than the 250k.
@@alpinegaragesports2155 and one thing you said that's absolutely right that alot of people won't understand is that deion is 100% grateful no matter how much money it is he just wanna be appreciated plus after the season was over and he didn't meet the goals for the bonus, but you still get a bonus higher then all of the bonus incentives that was in the contract. That shows appreciation
My man Chris, glad to see you back bro. I was thinking the same thing because knowing the amount of money that he has made the program and the university it could have been in the millions. Other programs took from him, so any appreciation of a persons work is always a great thing.
Coach has money coming in from everywhere. Knowing Deion he appreciates it. I don’t think it’s a slap in the face. I especially think that he is more focused on winning.
Coach Prime is not only responsible for making money for CU. He is responsible for all the businesses ( small, medium & large) in & around Boulder making huge amounts money. As well as the municipality... I'm sure Coach Prime recognizes what the bonus represents...
Great job Chris.. definitely not a slap in the face, but overall he’s brought in major changes and all the doubters will eat crow before the season ends
I think when its contract time Coach Prime and the coaching staff as a whole woll be rewarded . He like be patient let everything play out and see what happens in December
Actually, this will help him. As soon as he wins a bowl game or gets into the CFP, his team will have even more leverage to get a new contract maybe 2 years early that will catapult him way way way past what he's making now. In other words, they'll be more prepared to unanimously agree to overpay him based on the quality that he delivers. I predict his next contract will be a multi-year, nine-figure deal with a huge amount guaranteed. So let them pay him "a lil bitty" extra bonus now...cause him and his accountant are coming. Facts.
First of all, Deion isn't exactly hurting for money. The $250K is a nice gesture, and an acknowledgement of what he is doing for the entire school, not just the football program. I still have a feeling that he will stay a minimum of 5 years to make sure that there is a solid foundation in place that will outlast the next 2 head coaches. I hope that there is solid defense and a better o-line to keep Shedeur upright and given a chance to win more than they lose.
I am certain that C.Prime would have, or did have a discussion with RG. The future payoffs to keep him will be bigger, but CU has a lot on their plate to get to that place. Hard to know without all of the facts and information.
Very pragmatic comment David! It is an incomplete picture so far. He and RG seem to have an open communication and good relationship. I’m sure there are a lot of unspoken agreements in place based on the upcoming year.
We will only know if it’s a slap in the face ,when another school comes calling with a bigger bag and he either turns it down or take it and some reporter ask the question,because we all know he will answer the question straight up.
I have questions - 1) What is state law regarding discretionary bonuses for state employees? Are they capped? 2) What fund is this bonus being paid from (some pies are bigger than others)? Is it from the General CU fund? Or the athletic budget? When Coach Prime was hired he said he was good on money and that was not a thing in his hiring. Was there an understanding between Rick George and Coach Prime that the school would keep the majority of any money made from marketing? Remember, CU has been operating mostly in the red for a while and it was not that long ago employees in the Athletic Dept. had to be let go. The CU Athletic Dept. at this moment in time needs all the money it can get especially with new economic challenges directly on the horizon. Bottom line, if Coach Prime is good, I'm good.
I LOVE Prime, but he Sold Himself SHORT. To Not Link A Bouns for Increasing the Revenue in Media, Merchandise and Total Revenue was foolish. Even to use the Standard of is Jackson State Contract should have been used. The next when will cost a lot more.
That statement is true, But Colorado isn’t like any place on earth. CP wanted to break into the P5, Colorado wanted eyeballs on the program. Everybody won. But I agree, when we reach past 6 wins, it will cost us plenty.
Not in the slightest. The contract he signed he had to finesse the rest of the money given Colorado didn't have the money upfront. The AD gives him everything and anything he wants within reason. They didn't need to give him anything and he still would have been alright. The reality is that CU gave Prime the opportunity to expand his brand which he has done with fidelity. He not only makes more money through his own branding but continuously through CU so that his staff and players are paid. The bonus is more like you have everything you could ever want but we want to say thank you for an amazing year in CU. My man is blessed he not worried about the size of the bonus or a bonus at all.
I respect your page and viewpoint but your premise is undermined by your stats: * 4x media money * CBS, ABC and NBC national games * Economic impact on local economy to the tune of millions. Now add in: * Enrollment applications up for 2024 * Colorado actually WAS COURTED and wanted in the Big 12 only because of Deion * 400% increase in wins from previous year * Spring Game sold out and televised - OVER Alabama & Georgia. But you couldn't give the tickets away the year before * Colorado vs Colorado State brought 9 million viewers- when NOBODY (except loyal Buff fans) cared I give the AD respect for even making the "gesture" to Deion. But in terms of what he did for the moribund, last place and irrelevant CU squad from the year before, the resurrection to respectable to even nationally acknowledged will be studied in communication and business courses in years to come. Then when you include, he brought Travis Hunter WITH HIM, who is now the face of the hottest sports video game on every campus right now, EASports NCAA football, Deion's impact is 15x what they "gave" him. He is worth 5 times his contract - and the bonus.
I dont disagree with you. But, it was a perfect storm with both parties. CP made a significant amount of extra money at CU vs JSU. There is a specialness about CU that no other university would have had. If he went to Florida, I personally don’t think it would have been the same distinctness as the expectation at Florida is different. What I’m saying is, both won.
@@alpinegaragesports2155 Again, I respectfully disagree on two fronts. First, throwing speculation aside about what “might have” happened at Florida is an apples to broccoli comparison. Meaning there is no comparing the whirlwind that just happened at CU last year - nobody could have done what Prime did for Colorado. Think about, it Colorado sold out a spring game that they could not fill a section with the previous year. And ESPN chose to cover CU over Alabama and Georgia. Because you have seen Prime for a year now a lot people forget how nonexistent CU was on the college football landscape. Florida’s was not as destitute, in shambles as CU last year. So the rise to relevance and respectability would not have been the Herculean feat you just saw at Colorado. CBS and ESPN were fighting for parking spots on the same day to cover Colorado. No school had that. Florida was still getting 5 stars, still a respected, yet flawed, name in college football. CU was dead. Secondly, with Shedeur and Travis and with the transfer portal at his disposal to get more Florida boys…I dare say it would have been equal or more insane. Because Florida would not have been a complete tear down job so the winning may have come easier. And realistically, because we have empirical data to base this on, if CU vs CSU drew 9 million- and outside of the bowl games - was one of the top watched games in ALL of college football last year…what would the ratings have been with Prime at Florida going up against FSU, Georgia and LSU - and he was competitive or won two of those games. Lolol. You couldn’t even compare the seismic eruption in ratings and Primes popularity would have been to what he got at CU. Trust me it would dwarf what just happened in Boulder this year - and that’s saying a lot. But, again, I respect your position and your passion for CU. I just have the data already to realistically extrapolate it to what Prime has already done.
I knew someone was going to call me out Brian 😂. It would be easier if this was my job, but I love doing it and hanging out with my Colorado buddies. You will see more content for sure.
If this scenario was playing out at an elite program I’d say he’s getting ripped off. But the CU program has been starving for funds. There is big investment needed to establish the program in the first couple years. When/if his contract is renewed I think the program’s $ coffers will be healthy and they should make him the highest paid coach in the country. With all that said, Coach has been clear he’s not there for just the $. His deals with Nike, KFC, et al make him more money than CU will ever pay him.
And of that .073 percent how much was he contracted to receive? Sounds to me like 100% profit. Also, if I'm prime, I spread that out amongst my coaches and staff. A little something goes a long way.
It’s also based upon facts and truth. Ask the question: Would Colorado have had the monetary success with any other coaching hire? Would they have the notoriety and high profile, even with a loosing record, without Coach Prime? That’s how valuable Coach Prime is AND WOULD BE WHEREVER HE COACHES! Prime is more than fulfilling and out performing his current contract. WHEN THE TEAM HAS A WINNING RECORD AND WINS A BOWL GAME, AND THE TURNAROUND IS COMPLETE, RICK HAD BETTER TEAR UP PRIME’S CONTRACT AND BE PREPARED TO PAY HIM 8-9 MILLION/YEAR! Because Coach Prime has proven that he’s worth that, and considering what he’s done in marketing, even more! $250,000 for what Prime has done, RICK PLEASE!
Beryl, I don’t disagree with everything he has done. I’ll bet there is an unwritten agreement with CP and RG that he will get his windfall in the next contract negotiation.
If Colorado “tears the Big 12 apart” with this Shedeur’s final season, RG should rip up Prime’s existing contract and give him whatever he wants! Remember what’s at stake: CP WILL HAVE OPTIONS; HIS “ SONS” WILL BE GONE; IF CP LEAVES, HE TAKES HIS COACHES AND RECRUITS WITH HIM IF HE COACHES IN COLLEGE! CP HAS ALL THE LEVERAGE, PAY HIM FOR WHAT HE HAS DONE AND WILL DO! Has anyone heard from Jackson State or Jackson, Mississippi since CP left?
Welcome back Chris. Happy to see you’re still with us. I was wondering if/when you would return. That bonus that we’re discussing, though well intentioned, WAS INDEED A SLAP IN THE FACE compared to the AMOUNT OF REVENUE AND MARKETING DOLLARS you correctly outlined! SI was absolutely correct! What I think would have been fair, significant and commensurate with Coach Prime has produced, WOULD HAVE BEEN TO GIVE PRIME ONE MILLION DOLLARS, HALF OF THE TWO MILLION DOLLARS SIGNING BONUS GIVEN TO COLORADO BY THE BIG 12! If not for Coach Prime and the attention and marketing, COLORADO WOULD NOT HAVE LEAD THE EXPANSION OF THE BIG12 AND THE BREAK UP OF THE PAC 10! Coach Prime doesn’t get the credit or reward he deserves for Colorado’s resurgence! PAY THE MAN WHAT HE DESERVES!
There is money in t he budget set aside for certain things. You have to use before the fiscal year is over. It doesn't carry over to the next year. The money he got as a bonus is probably the left over money from recruiting expenses. Since deion doesn't do home visits and and only does zoom calls, then there should be quite a bit of money left over. Deion know what he is doing.
Coach prime is the table, the bonuses are based on slave economics, if he is not compensated proportionately Colorado will leave room for others to make offers. This is why all industries are dying, one day that number will flip the other way, who is receiving the other 98.5%, for doing nothing, that is the question. The same was done to Michael Jordan, he built Nike. After the wins, and year 3, Prime should demand 25%-33% or leave.
Cortez, I respect your take. 5.5m per year is likely not Salve Economics. It is also the highest salary a head coach at Colorado has earned and is laden with bonuses for performance. As a CEO- I would agree. As a Coach- let’s win some more games and let a perfect storm brew.
@@alpinegaragesports2155 Hi, I don’t mean ‘slave economics’ in the way you may think. When comparing Coach Prime’s $5.5 million salary to other coaches’, it seems fair. However, Coach Prime is a unicorn-a unique talent. After he produces results, his business manager should renegotiate back pay for all revenue generated that was not part of the initial deal. If they refuse, he should consider leaving. As a CEO, you’re aware that even companies like Google and OpenAI have top-tier employees leaving for competing startups.
Yes there is a balance with pay and performance. When Coach brings the wins up past 6, and gets to post season play, he will be the perfect package for any school. Can Colorado afford him then…? That’s the question.
@@alpinegaragesports2155 I agree, Coach Prime must perform, I believe it's game over, he's coming for it all. After the win, at least 6% - 12%. Colorado is the gold rush state, people have real money, old money, they got it : ) Much respect to Rick George, because the old guard was hesitant. He is soon to be King George of Colorado : ) I really don't believe Prime wants to leave, he would have to be disrespected to do so.
If you’re a Colorado fan. You do know your giving prime an easy excuse to leave right. He would have left this year if he didn’t have sheduer and Travis.
Deion is lucky to have a job, he came from Recruiting Mag fraud, to Laptop Money/Lunch program fraud, being fired from his own Prime Prep Academy, to Reality TV to Jackson U. He is very fortunate to be given the opportunity.
History usually remembers and rewards pioneers for the positive contributions they make to the larger population. Every example you mentioned shows that he delivered an overwhelmingly positive impact on the community...even during times that he may have been a little wrong. Why didn't you mention the positive impact part?
Love your show brother genuinely love it i actually subcribed to your page from three different accounts lol so no mater what im on i can catch a good word or two to be honest i love seeing the white guys who arnt stereotypical on what coach prime is doing afriad of change because the man is working hard to give CU fans exactly what they wont a relevant program when every game is a must watch keep going brother your gonna be big
Why? is how much money anyone get any of your business and slap in the face. Folks have lost their mind pocket watching others if it was in his contract SO WHAT
All the businesses in Boulder Colorado should write a check on behalf of coach Prime to support him and the football program.
A Coach Prime Co-Op as it were!
Not going to give a black man his props
@@alpinegaragesports2155 NNNNN NO BLACK BUSINESS IN boulder
Dayton, Coach Prime has been celebrated more than any coach I have seen in Boulder since Coach Mac.
Glad you're back !!!! The money is more in away of a Thank you which, I think, Coach appreciates.

I'm sure Coach Prime recognizes what the bonus represents...
Very true Penpal!
COACH PRIME IS FOCUSING MORE ON WINNING!!
HE WILL DO THAT THIS YEAR!!
MORE WINNING BRINGS MORE 💰💰💰💯💯💲💲💲🐐🦬🦬🦬😁
Yes Linda!
Great job Chris.. definitely not a slap in the face, but overall he’s brought in major changes and all the doubters will eat crow before the season ends
Eating crow, we will see what that looks like.
I think when its contract time Coach Prime and the coaching staff as a whole woll be rewarded .
He like be patient let everything play out and see what happens in December
Yes!
No slap in the face baby prime his grandson going to be blessed
Actually, this will help him.

I predict his next contract will be a multi-year, nine-figure deal with a huge amount guaranteed. So let them pay him "a lil bitty" extra bonus now...cause him and his accountant are coming. Facts.
Very astute insight there! Perfect storm is winning/marketing. He can pull this off and be making more than Saban did with all the bonuses.
First of all, Deion isn't exactly hurting for money. The $250K is a nice gesture, and an acknowledgement of what he is doing for the entire school, not just the football program.

IDK if he will ever throw Colorado under the bus. They have been a great partner to CP, in his own words. I would expect grace.
WHAT UP Chris?? My man, glad to see you back!
Hey Polo! Thank you my friend!

Very good comment!
Glad u are back!
Thank you! Glad you are hanging out with me!
I thought the marketing was apart of his contract because I remember it mentioning him being obligated to media events
It was, but not as a bonus. It was part of the main contract. Bonuses were milestones hit.
I LOVE Prime, but he Sold Himself SHORT.
To Not Link A Bouns for Increasing the Revenue in Media, Merchandise and Total Revenue was foolish.
Even to use the Standard of is Jackson State Contract should have been used.

Deion is lucky to have a job, he came from Recruiting Mag fraud, to Laptop Money/Lunch program fraud, being fired from his own Prime Prep Academy, to Reality TV to Jackson U. He is very fortunate to be given the opportunity.
Comon’ punt. Who hasn’t failed at something? But he rose back in a big way from any setback. Lucky? We are lucky to have him.
History usually remembers and rewards pioneers for the positive contributions they make to the larger population. Every example you mentioned shows that he delivered an overwhelmingly positive impact on the community...even during times that he may have been a little wrong. Why didn't you mention the positive impact part?
LUCKY??? are you kidding me PRIME CAN LAND ANY JOB cause he is great recruiter
@@sleeper9728 a very shady past, he is not the Jesus you believe.
