FILE - In this Friday, Aug. 31, 2018, file photo, Colorado State coach Mike Bobo walks the sideline during the second half of the team's NCAA college football game against Colorado in Denver. Bobo preaches toughness and accountability. He demonstrated that toughness last season by walking the sidelined despite fighting a rare autoimmune disease that caused him to lose sensation in both feet. He showed accountability by declining a $100,000 pay increase due to him after the Rams struggled to a 3-9 record in 2018. That's why his messages hit home. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski, File)
