Go Buffs GO! ft. Rick George

May 19, 2021

Rick George is the athletic director at the University of Colorado, where he had attended and played college football. Before coming back to Boulder, Rick was the president of business operations for the Texas Rangers baseball club. His contract has been extended two times for his role as CU Athletic Director, making him only the sixth full-time athletic director in the history of the University of Colorado.

Throughout his role at CU, Rick has spearheaded a $156 million Athletic Complex Expansion and orchestrated and implemented the first-ever comprehensive strategic plan for the department. He was awarded the National Football Foundation’s “Team of Excellence” in 2019. Only thirty people received this prestigious award that highlights NFF board members who have been successful in their life after playing football.

About Heidi

As a homegrown Coloradan with a passion for keeping the spirit of our state alive and well, I started this podcast to bring the people of Colorado together to celebrate the amazing state we call home!

Come along on this journey with me as I travel across our state in my vintage RV, interviewing folks who embody the true spirit of the Rocky Mountains. From the front range to the mile-high city, to the mountain towns and the Wild West of southern Colorado, we’ll celebrate the history, beauty, and Coloradans that make this place the colorful state it is!

Each week, you’ll meet the people trailblazing the way for an even more colorful future for us all, and who are making a huge difference along the way.
