Our very knowledgeable source thinks so.
From our weekly recap:

ow, the AC-12 meet was run at high altitude in Colorado, so that’s a HUGE advantage for the Buffaloes. Speaking of that race, afterwards, CU head coach Mark Wetmore said the Buffs disobeyed him and went out hard.
Not everyone is buying that. Amongst the conspiracy theorists is one very knowledgeable source whom we spoke with earlier this week. They said to us something along the lines of, ”Did you see what Wetmore said after the meet? I’m not buying it. It was genius coaching if you ask me. He likely knew the other teams were scared ****less about the altitude and likely instructed their runners, ‘Go out with the Colorado guys. They always run smart and they are adjusted to altitude.’ So the Buffs go out harder than normal, to get the other teams in big trouble, knowing they themselves will handle it better than anyone else as they live and train at altitude every day.”
Now that’s a good conspiracy theory, particularly when it comes from a legitimate source and this person is legitimate, trust us. Now, our reply to our source was, “Well if that’s true, why wouldn’t he just admit it and rub it in their faces. If we were smart enough to think of that, we’d certainly want people to know about it.”
The reply was, “I don’t know. Maybe so he can use it again next time.”
What do you think?
Is our source giving Wetmore too much credit? What says you?
