CU At The Game Podcast – Mailbag Edition: Coach Prime’s Contract/Top Five Transfers
—
I am joined for this episode by Brad Geiger and Neil Langland, and we are opening up the mailbag for the first time this off-season. We’re here to answer your questions about CU and the state of college football.
We open with a discussion about the saga of the Coach Prime contract extension. The potential reasons for the delay, the issues involved, and the final resolution are all up for debate.
We then move on to a question about our top five transfers into the program this off-season, together with a listing of our top five returning Buffs from the 2024 season.
We wrap up with questions about taking CU this fall with an over/under win projection from Las Vegas of 6.5 victories, as well as our thoughts on expansion of the college football playoff … and the future of CU and the Big 12 in the ever-changing landscape of the sport.
Are you ready to talk a little CU football, with spring practices now just around the corner?
Let’s do it …

One Reply to “CUATG Podcast: Mailbag Edition”
It sure seems that, within the decade, Oregon State and Washington State will be joined by many others (are you listening, Baylor, KSU and ISU?) on the outside looking in. College football is NOT the National Football League. However, the monied interests in the SEC and Big Ten fail to recognize this fact, and seem to be inexorably headed to a two division “super league,” akin to the NFC and AFC in the NFL. If this is the direction, it will “kill the goose that laid the golden egg(s)” concerning college football.
Ohio State VS. Notre Dame for the championship is not, and never will be, the Super Bowl. College is not professional, despite NIL. The allegiances are different. The passion for “the school, student athlete,…” is gone, and the upcoming “super league” will drain the life right out of the “college game.” This will not end well as college football just might end up being “the minor league, the XFL, or a regional midwest, southern league,…” So sad.
That being said, I cannot figure out why all of the pundits predict that North Carolina and Clemson will be included in the eventual realignment, while C.U., and the Denver market, will not make it to the inevitable “super league.”
We will see.
Thank you, Stuart, for ALL that you do!!!!
