Thank you, Ram fans 💚💛 Due to your incredible support, the Green and Gold Guard made a lasting impact. As CSU can now directly financially support student-athletes following the House settlement, we’re officially dissolving the collective. The future is bright for Ram Nation!🐏

There are no good guys in this squabble. Neither the Mountain West nor the departing schools will come out on top. It’s just mud slinging filling the pockets of law firms.

NIL Store is a cool idea but is difficult in practice. The real selling point for fans is that you can buy your favorite player’s jersey. The problem is, it looks like you bought your CSU football jersey off Temu. Why can’t UnderArmour do their own version of this?

CSU opened the 2017 and 2018 with Zero Week games and I wrote then that it should be an annual thing to build up extra attention and hype. I still say it’s a mistake not to.
