In week 4, an entire state of fans getting priced out of the NIL era

In the union's least populated state – where the largest city is smaller than my college town – one university reigns supreme. Because it's the only university. Coming from every corner of the state, the War’s tailgate alley — the parking lot outside — is filled with cars and lots and lots of trucks that have driven hundreds of miles to get here. I’d made the 131-mile trek from Boulder in my Subaru Outback that day for the home opener against the Northern Iowa Panthers. Not to watch the Pokes ba...

As CU football launches its season, the school is wrestling with how to pay its athletes

Peter Curtis has been a fan of the University of Colorado Buffaloes since he was 8. He was 12 when the team won its first, and only, national championship in 1991.“I remember that game vividly, and I remember just the elation of kids in our neighborhood that were just screaming and running around outside after the game ended,” said Curtis, who grew up in Littleton. “My hands were tied. I was a Buff immediately after that for life.”As fans pack Folsom Field for tonight's University of Colorado fo...

Why are Minnesotans giving up their pets at record rates?

Julie Koch has seen 31 dogs come and go from her Minneapolis home over the last four years. She’s a foster for Ruff Start Rescue, which cares for animals across Minnesota.Right now, she’s caring for a lovable 6-year-old white German Shepherd named Stone. He came to her from Texas in 2021 and was adopted in 2022. But in August, his family had to give him back.“He didn’t get surrendered because he was a bad dog, or he was full of issues,” Koch said. “He got surrendered because they were having a h...

College sports have changed forever. Here’s how CU is tackling the House settlement

The department has also looked to cut its budget wherever possible. In January, George said that there were no plans to lay off employees, but that they were certainly on the table. Then, in early June, two track coaches had their positions eliminated. According to George, certain positions have also gone unfilled after staff departures.

Trump's withholding of transit funds could shrink CDOT's bus expansion plans on Federal Boulevard

Plans to enhance bus service on Denver’s Federal Boulevard could be scaled back as the Trump administration pauses new grants for transit projects. 

Colorado transportation planners have embraced upgraded bus service, known as bus rapid transit, or BRT, in an attempt to reduce congestion in Front Range commuter corridors. The concept mimics some features of train service, like upgraded stations and more frequent service, but with a significantly lower price tag than building rail lines.

Psilocybin enters the chat: Coloradans have a new psychiatric treatment option

Ryan Chrapko ate some psilocybin half an hour ago. He’s been staring at the same tree now for 10 minutes. It wasn’t a lot of mushrooms, only about a quarter of a gram. It’s just enough to unlock a sense of childlike wonder in his psyche at this particular moment. 

It’s almost like he’d never seen an evergreen before, with its infinite number of thin needles pointing up toward a clear blue sky. 

“It’s funny that I’m talking into this microphone right now while looking at that. It’s really the r...

The women’s soccer stadium in Kansas City has been a big economic success. Can Denver replicate that?

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — When players walk from the locker rooms to the field at CPKC Stadium on the banks of the Missouri River, they pass 37 words tiled on a wall.

No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.

Those words, Title IX, apply only to educational institutions, but they triggered a decades-long revolu...

When The Cameras Leave

On Dec. 30, 2021, a cold front brought 110-mile-per-hour winds to Boulder County, Colorado. Those winds sparked The Marshall Fire, which in less than 12 hours, burned 1,084 structures in the nearby towns of Superior and Louisville

The next day, reporters from outlets like NBC News and CNN flooded the towns as the fire dominated national newscasts as the biggest story in the country. But, by day five, those reporters had packed up, and the national media had moved on.

Hundreds of teachers leave jobs in Des Moines area school districts, leaving schools understaffed

A national shortage of teachers and high turnover rates in the profession has made keeping classrooms staffed increasingly difficult for Des Moines area school districts. 
In May, Axios reported that Des Moines Public Schools lost 310 of its teachers over the summer due to retirement or resignation, accounting for 11.4% of its educators. 
Dr. Todd Hodgkinson, an associate professor of secondary education at Drake University, does not blame any specific district. He says it’s a national problem t...

Student publications face uncertain financial future

The Board of Student Communications, which funds student media organizations on Drake’s campus, is currently facing an unsustainable budget deficit. 
The BSC funds and oversees Drake Mag, Drake Political Review, Drake Broadcasting System, Drake University Independent News, Periphery Art and Literary Journal and The Times-Delphic. The board was created in 1969 by a university governing body that preceded both the Student and Faculty Senate.
