Message: [QUOTE="hank970, post: 4675533, member: 6349"] UC-Boulder's sports are nothing to rave about in recent years, but it's a state flagship in a large and growing DMA, the school's academics are strong, it supports very high research activity (more than $500 million/year), it's a member of AAU, it has an endowment of more than $2.1 billion, boasts of several Nobel laureate affiliations, and has large alumni presence on the west coast. Those things are what made it attractive to the PAC. In addition, it has a beautiful campus in a gorgeous setting, and the main cafeteria in its student center memorializes Alferd Packer, the only man (I think) ever convicted of cannibalism in Colorado. What's not to like about that? Oh, and it has an on-campus stadium. It'll be interesting to see if Coach Prime can reverse CU's football fortunes. [/QUOTE]
