Rick George wants to compete for championships. Mel Tucker surely does as well.
A small but vocal section of the non-athletic administration at the University of Colorado? Meh. If it happens, great. If not, at least we'll find a cure for cancer.
That essentially was the message delivered by the dissenting voices on Colorado's Board of Regents this week while approving Tucker's new five-year, (that's five-year, not six as originally, erroneously drafted), $14.75 million contract, turning a simple formality into a circus of posturing and grandstanding that easily could have left Tucker wondering what exactly he's gotten himself into after leaving the reverent football-is-life confines of the SEC.
