A longtime professional doer of internet things, Landon has been the executive producer of the streaming properties at Denver7 since April of 2019, after several years in Dallas.

The University of Colorado at Boulder on Thursday reported a record number of applications for next school year – and its most diverse set of applicants ever – but stopped short of crediting Deion Sanders’s arrival as the school’s head football coach for the surge.

This year’s applicant pool was also the most diverse the school has seen, according to CU Assistant Vice Chancellor of Admissions Jennifer Ziegenfus. Here’s the breakdown of the application numbers she shared in Thursday’s briefing: While the academic caliber has increased competition for CU’s highly sought after majors like engineering and business, the rate of students waitlisted or denied admission is consistent with recent years, Ziegenfus said.

The new-look Buffs found early-season success, leading to multiple nationally-televised games including ESPN’s College Gameday coming to Boulder ahead of the Rocky Mountain Showdown against Colorado State. The buzz around the football program brought in millions for the Boulder economy, city officials said.

“But it's really difficult for us to draw that causational line between coach prime and this applicant increase, primarily because applications for CU Boulder specifically for first-year students has been steadily increasing since 2000. So seeing an increase this year is anticipated in sort of continuing with the trend that we've seen over the last few years.”
