Re: Colorado athletics director Rick George will step down from his role at the end of the academic year and become a special advisor to the chancellor, the school announced Thursday.

Outgoing Colorado athletic director Rick George just poured cold water on any speculation that third-year head football coach Deion Sanders is on the hot seat. Speculation about Sanders’ future in Boulder has become a hot topic of late amid a disappointing 3-win season in 2025.
“The seat is not hot,” George quote-tweeted a fan that suggested the contrary. “We believe in what is ahead for this program.”

Now 3-8. Lost 42-17 last night in a game where Arizona State turned it over 4 times to Colorado's 1.
If Deion was any other random coach he'd be getting fired after this year

New Colorado AD Fernando Lovo aims to make Buffs 'global brand'
Deion Sanders has a big fan in his new boss.Colorado athletic director Fernando Lovo might not know his way around Boulder just yet -- or even his way around his new office building -- but he certainly realizes the importance of Sanders, who has put the Buffaloes back on the football map even if he has had only one winning season in three years.
"With Coach Prime's national notoriety and who he is as a person, first and foremost, and his ability to reach a lot farther than maybe some other coaches might be able to because of who he is, I think is a real advantage for us. We want to be a global brand. It's on us as administrators to provide him with the resources he needs. But in terms of who he is as a person and the reach that he has, it's a really special dynamic to have, and I'm excited to leverage that."New Colorado AD Fernando Lovo

Lovo inherits a sports department that is looking at a projected $27 million deficit by the end of the school year. That's due in part to the $20.5 million revenue share with athletes. Lovo is brainstorming for innovative solutions to help raise funds without making cuts....

Lovo also worked in athletic administration at Texas, Ohio State and Houston. He got his start in college sports in the football program at Florida, his alma mater, where he once was a student equipment manager.
"I can't wait to stand in Folsom Field and see Ralphie run for the first time," Lovo said. "It's one of the great traditions in all of college sports, and it's just unbelievable. Can't wait to see it.
"Traditions, they matter here. But so do expectations."
Just sayin': Yeah, good luck with your "brainstorming". Lovo, if you ever get tired of watching Ralphie run I know how you could come up with some money...
(Just kidding, I like Ralphie too. Now if you were at Texas, Bevo would be another matter.)
