Both of which should have been REQUIRED by the "good" university, which 
offered the facilities to rent in the first place.  While they freely 
admit they had both available "upon request" they certainly did nothing 
to require that the PK group make use of them.  Nor did they suggest any 
measures be taken after the first day or two when it would have been 
obvious that both were necessary or simply step in and REQUIRE them on 
the spot when trouble began.  CU is playing "big school" with inadequate 
resources, while raking in the dough and not caring what happens to the 
city of Boulder while the PK group uses their stadium.  As long as the $$ 
keeps coming, they kindly stand around and watch.

Note the above dollar signs.  CU is always looking for a way to make a 
buck, be it football or research or renting out the stadium.  UNC 
certainly doesn't go trolling for PK's business, do they?  They know they 
don't have the facilities.  Neither do CSU, Auraria, or any of the 
state funded schools in Southern Colorado.  CU wants the PK group to stop 
by every summer for one reason.  Money.
