Which to you was the most eyebrow raising story of the day?
  • 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)

Congress holding hearings on whether the NCAA should get an anti-trust exemption to deal with NIL. Thoughts?
  • 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)

On3.com has Coach Prime rated as the No. 7 coach in the Pac-12. Where would rate Coach Prime?
  • 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)

ESPN: "It Just FEELS like Colorado State should be good at football". Thoughts?
  • I just think it's funny that ESPN would note that it "FEELS" like CSU should be good. That's just an acknowledgement that CSU hasn't been good ... and isn't likely to be good anytime soon (34%, 60 Votes)
  • It's actually a true statement. CU has a new stadium, a research university, and a fan base on par with other Mountain West schools. No reason the Rams should be this bad (33%, 58 Votes)
  • It's a fallacy. The sold the fans (and the donors) that if they had an on campus stadium, all would be well. It didn't happen, and now the CSU athletic department has big bills to pay, but no cash (33%, 56 Votes)

What is your interest in all of the national media attention which has been paid to the Colorado program?
  • High. There have been more stories (at least positive ones) in the past few months than there has been in the past decade. I'm loving every minute of it! (72%, 184 Votes)
  • Medium. It's great that CU is getting some positively publicity, and I certainly hope that it will pay off in helping CU land a highly rated Recruiting Class of 2024 (20%, 50 Votes)
  • Low. Until CU takes to the field on Sept. 2nd, this is still a program trying to rebuild. Off season stories are just filler, so Buff fans need to pump the brakes - don't get caught up in the hype (8%, 21 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??? 🙂
