Ahead of Colorado’s move to the Big 12 next summer, conference commissioner Brett Yormark was in Boulder earlier this month to check out his new university, It’s safe to say he walked away impressed with what he saw, per Brian Howell of BuffZone.
“You know, the brick and mortar part of it plays a huge role,” Yormark told BuffZone. “This place is breathtaking and the investments they’ve made in the student athletes, not just in football, basketball, but all sports, I think is tremendous. So I’ve been very impressed.”
Yormark also mentioned how impressed he is with CU athletic director Rick Geoge:
“What I’ve said to Rick, specifically, is ‘bring us best practices from a conference perspective,” Yormark told BuffZone. “We’ve talked a lot about mental health and nutrition and I look forward to leaning on him for best practices so we as a conference can get better. It’s all positive; very, very positive.”
The Buffs are joining the Big 12 soon while the future of the Pac-12 is still up in the air, although some clarity on that end should come soon. But, so far, Yormark likes what he sees from Colorado.
