University of Colorado athletic director Mike Bohn and Air Force athletic director Hans Mueh are negotiating to renew the school’s basketball rivalry.

I talked with the ADs Thursday night, and both said they are trying to find a date for a CU-AFA men’s basketball game next season. If they can’t find a date for 2009-2010, expect the schools to play in 2010-2011.

That’s good news. AFA and CU need – badly need - to boost interest in their lagging programs. It’s a natural, and convenient, rivalry.

I’ll be interested to hear what AFA coach Jeff Reynolds has to say about these negotiations. He has said, more than once, he will not play CU as long as Jeff Bzdelik is the coach.

Last week, Mueh told The Gazette’s Jake Schaller he wanted to again play CU. For more on AFA sports – including a look at the spring prospects of every Mountain West football team –  check out Jake’s blog:
