Member of Colorado’s student section joins in net-cutting ceremony ()

LOS ANGELES — The first person to climb up the orange ladder and clip a piece of net after Colorado captured the Pac-12 tournament title on Saturday evening wasnt coach Tad Boyle or one of the teams senior leaders. In fact, it wasnt a member of the team at all. Out of gratitude for the support Colorados student section, known as the C-Unit, gave the Buffaloes this week, athletic director Mike Bohn asked Boyles permission to have one of the students be part of the net-cutting ceremony. Boyle was on board, so a young man in a Colorado cape and suit of armor got to climb the ladder, smile for the TV cameras and take home a unique souvenir after the Buffaloes 53-51 win over Arizona. Its Bohn who is responsible for the 50 Colorado students who were able to make the trip to Los Angeles to support the team the past four days. Bohn arranged for his department to spring for a charter a flight for 50 members of the C-Unit and to purchase tickets for all the games. [ Related: Colorados unlikely run to the Pac-12 title ] His leadership bringing those students here is a testament to what hes all about, Boyle said. Thats to help make dreams come true and life-long experiences for student athletes or students at the University of Colorado. Im just so thankful that those 50 kids could come here and experience that with us.
