ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥

Is ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ at a competitive disadvantage in terms of its resources in comparison to schools in the future Pac-12, the conference the Buffs will join later this year?

After being named head football coach in early December, Jon Embree (Comm’89) hired an assistant coaching staff that includes other ex-ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ players and/or coaches.

The men’s basketball team, coached by Tad Boyle, started its Big 12 Conference season in style, winning back-to-back games against nationally ranked opponents for the first time in program history.

After ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ announced in June it would join the Pac-10 Conference, the move is on its way to becoming reality.

In June ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ officials announced the university’s move to the Pacific-10 Conference, joining such schools as Stanford, UC Berkeley and UCLA.

Rodney Billups, younger brother of former ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ standout Chauncey Billups, was named director of basketball operations.

Former ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ linebacker Alfred Williams, the school’s all-time leader in sacks, will be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame on Dec. 7, becoming just the fifth Buff to earn the honor.

ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ track and field athletes excelled at championship races in June.

Linda Lappe, named ÃÛÌÇÖ±²¥ women’s basketball head coach in the spring, filled out her staff by adding Jennie Baranczyk, Johnna Pointer and Jonas Chatterton as assistant coaches.
