• Way too early to know. How much will the capital partner be giving each school? What will they expect in exchange down the road? How will this affect realignment prospects? Many unanswered questions (87%, 95 Votes)
• Good idea. With the House settlement monetary requirements and the ever evolving need for new dollars, it's good that the Big 12 is looking outside the box to raise extra dollars (6%, 7 Votes)
• A bad idea. Selling the conference's soul in exchange for dollars today is a bad business model, and could well backfire in the Big 12's faces. The ghost of Larry Scott looms large here (7%, 7 Votes)

• It's huge. Every national combine story includes "CU" and "Heisman Trophy winner" in the text. You can't tell me that isn't helping with recruits, donors, and advertisers (51%, 71 Votes)
• It helps, but not all that much. Those who are focused on the Combine are more interested in where their NFL team is going to pick up their next star, not the college the player comes from (26%, 36 Votes)
• It's very important, but not as important as CU's Pro Timing day will be in a few weeks. The national attention then will help other Buff prospects get some ink leading up to the Draft (23%, 33 Votes)

• Medium. Staub is the only quarterback on the roster who has taken a snap at CU, and Staub didn't leave in December when he had the chance. I'm guessing he'll stick it out and stay a Buff (61%, 109 Votes)
• Low. Staub started the '23 game against Utah, and deserves the opportunity to play. I expect that Staub will work hard this spring, and then transfer to a school which will give him a chance to play (29%, 52 Votes)
• High. There are only three quarterbacks on the roster, and one is a true freshman. Salter and Lewis have received the headlines, but Staub has two years experience in the Shumur system (10%, 18 Votes)

• "I don’t think nobody can (mess) with me this year. That’s just how I feel. It is what it is" (39%, 62 Votes)
• “I’m not too much of a talker, but I feel like if I lead by my example and how I carry myself day to day, other people will tag along and start taking on some of the things I do and the way I work" (32%, 50 Votes)
• “They left a good foundation here, so now all we’ve got to do is put our head down and just work. My three-month goal right now is just to get my body fat down, trim, have a good core" (29%, 46 Votes)

• We're talking about Bill Connelly at ESPN, right? His metrics haven't been able to keep up with Coach Prime, so it's no surprise that he is off on CU again this year. Ignore and move on (57%, 73 Votes)
• Makes sense, considering CU loses its quarterback and its top four wide receivers. It's up to the new quarterbacks and receivers to pick up the slack this fall (30%, 39 Votes)
• While the offense has lost a great deal, CU is 66th in returning defensive production, which is much higher than in the first two seasons of the Coach Prime era, so I'm going to focus on the positive (13%, 16 Votes)
