I'd leave the offer open, but wouldn't have any further contact. A true "take it or leave it." I actually suspect the staff already did this.
And, with the caveat that the position will be recruited.
I told people last year, that, while the Pac lacks a true dominant team, many good teams will give each other several losses. I expect the same for '23.
Colorado has games vs. TCU, USCw, at Oregon, at UCLA, at UTAH, at Wazzu. OUCH.
I have not looked up any evidence in the case. Given his prior record, if convicted, he will indeed be facing a serious sentence. He may be able to plea, but that would also be to time, without question. He's fucced.
It's also a fake demand. They're just making excuses to get a higher money offer. Fans are incredibly gullible if they believe this decision has anything to do with DVD's assistant position. Laughable.
