- Mora departs after rebuilding UConn to a 27-23 record with consecutive nine-win seasons, three bowl berths, and a 9-3 mark this year with all losses in overtime.
- He will replace Jay Norvell, fired Oct. 19 after a 2-5 start, as Colorado State prepares to enter a reconfigured Pac-12 under new athletic director John Weber.
- Early fallout at UConn includes reports of RB Victor Rosa planning to enter the transfer portal and indications that support staffers could follow Mora to Fort Collins.
- Mora signed a UConn extension through 2028 worth just over $10 million last December, though Colorado State’s agreement was not disclosed in initial reports.
