Pac-12 hires MGM executive George Kliavkoff as its new commissioner. Thoughts?

CU President Mark Kennedy to step down after only two years on the job. Thoughts?
  • To be determined. We'll see what the replacement looks like. Hopefully, the new President will be athletics friendly ... but I'd be lying if I didn't admit to being concerned (67%, 178 Votes)
  • Good news. After being censured by the faculty assembly for a "failure of leadership", it was only a matter of time. Nothing worse than a lame duck at the top (18%, 49 Votes)
  • Bad news. Kennedy at least understood that the athletic department (especially the football team) was the "front porch" of the University. He may not have been an ally, he at least wasn't an enemy (15%, 40 Votes)

  1. The Buffs need to wear the silver and gold that are the official school colors. Black jerseys are OK as the’ve been around for a long time, but out with the black helmets–and the white ones too. Gold helmets with silver pants, alternating with silver helmets and gold pants would be good. Nix on all black and all white!!

  2. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  3. Wouldn’t mind the Cheez-It Bowl at all, as I have connections at Kellogg’s (owns Cheez-it) who could get me tickets!! Is that Cheezy??? 🙂
