Are you really going to make a generalized statement about a student population of potentially over 30,000 (according to the CU website there were 29,709 on-campus degree-seeking students in Fall 2007) based on the comments of 4 students? I'm not saying that the student population is or isn't bothered by supporting athletics rather that it isn't appropriate to make such generalized statements based on such a small sample.
