• I'm not sure if there is a great deal to be learned from the videos, but the players surely know they are being recorded, and are likely working harder than they might if fewer eyes were on them (54%, 91 Votes)
• A great deal. These inside the ropes videos show the intensity of the practices, and the talent of the players. Great stuff - I'm glad CU under Coach Prime understands the value of letting us in (29%, 49 Votes)
• Not very much. Just because we haven't seen it before doesn't mean it isn't happening everywhere else (including CU in prior years). Video is great, but I'm not putting much stock in it (17%, 29 Votes)

• Medium. Hedging my bets here with most of spring practices still to come, not to mention more turnover on the roster. It's still too early to know ... but I'm cautiously optimistic (63%, 153 Votes)
• High. The rest of the nation doesn't yet fully understand what Buff fans have come to understand: This roster, and this quality staff, are comin'. This team is a bowl team (20%, 49 Votes)
• Low. There are just too many holes on the roster, and too many ten-win teams on the schedule, to predict a bowl in Year One. Next year? I'm hopeful that my answer will be different (17%, 39 Votes)

• That the CU Spring game is a sell out, and that CU alum Chris Fowler will be on hand for ESPN. There's no way that sentence would have made sense four months ago (65%, 182 Votes)
• That Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter are being reported as being in the Top Five in the country in NIL value. Not bad when you have a coach who says CU is not in the NIL game (24%, 68 Votes)
• That CU women's basketball coach JR Payne received a contract extension and a "huge" raise. It was certainly deserved ... especially since Coach Payne was the lowest paid coach in the Pac-12 (11%, 31 Votes)

• The answer is probably somewhere in between. There needs to be some uniformity in how NIL is administered, but it will take efforts by the NCAA, its members, and Congress to set national standards (63%, 105 Votes)
• Wrong. As Mandel put it, the NCAA is like: "We don’t want to solve the issues we’ve created. So it would be super cool if all you guys solved our problems without us having to do any actual work" (19%, 31 Votes)
• It has to be done. Each state, each conference, each school - all are out there making up their own rules. There needs to be federal regulation of NIL (18%, 30 Votes)

• About the same. There are some very good coaches in the Pac-12. Coach Prime will be ranked higher in years to come, but for now, No. 7 sounds about right (55%, 122 Votes)
• Higher. Coach Prime was 27-6 at Jackson State, a program which went 18-37 in the previous five years. He's comin'! (34%, 74 Votes)
• Lower. I have high hopes for CU under Coach Prime, but critics note that he has yet to coach against Power Five competition. He'll have to earn a higher ranking (11%, 24 Votes)
