University of Colorado Projects Record $27M Athletic Deficit

“Tuition money and state funds will not be used to address the deficit,” CU spokesperson Steve Hurlbert said as Colorado projected a $27M shortfall for FY 2026, driven by $20.5M in player payments, $10M for Sanders. Colorado, which “will not cut sports nor resources,” expects $136.7M in revenue against $163.7M in expenses while hoping donations and sponsorships reduce the gap.
