• My only hope is that this will all calm down in a year or two, and CU will be seen as an NCAA leader in the field, and that will play well with transfers and recruits ... a vain hope, but a hope (54%, 99 Votes)
• Industry source: "Everyone is finally going all-in. All the ADs, all the coaches are going, ‘Holy crap, this is it' ... except at CU, which again is left behind (33%, 60 Votes)
• I'm on board. Other schools can ignore guidelines and common sense restrictions, but I'm glad to see that CU is still trying to play by the rules and avoid inducements and other pay-for-play deals (13%, 23 Votes)

• It's about time. Branch had the credentials to be selected decades ago. I'm just sorry that he didn't live to see his election to the Hall of Fame (75%, 124 Votes)
• I'm just surprised that Branch is the first former Buff to make it to the NFL Hall of Fame (ten in the College Football Hall of Fame). Another 10 years or so before we get No. 2 (Mason Crosby)? (20%, 33 Votes)
• I appreciate having the old-timers get a late selection, but it's been decades since Branch played. How many in the crowd at Canton this summer will even know who Branch was? (5%, 9 Votes)

• 'If we're being realistic, CU would be listed as an underdog in almost every game next fall. Doesn't mean it has to stay that way, but CU's coaches and players have their work cut out for them (64%, 171 Votes)
• Hard to look at, but true. The Buffs went 4-8 last year, and lost some of its best players. The replacement are mostly freshmen, which makes 4-8 ... an optimistic goal for the 2022 season (24%, 65 Votes)
• I'm not sure which metrics ESPN is using, other than, "Let's dump on CU again". The next time CU is given optimistic press from ESPN will be the first time (12%, 30 Votes)

• Doesn't matter. This is just posturing. Negotiations for the next media deal aren't even scheduled to start until next winter. Until the new playoff scheme is identified, this is all just talk (56%, 98 Votes)
• It only makes sense. The Pac-12 should be able to maneuver its schedule so as to get the most eyes on Pac-12 teams, even if it means sacrificing revenue in upcoming negotiations (33%, 57 Votes)
• Not seeing it. The media partners already have incentive to show the most attractive games at optimal times. Giving up revenue (when the Pac-12 is already behind) makes no sense (11%, 20 Votes)

• “I feel well prepared for (the challenge) ... I’m more equipped and can be more productive and efficient and get us to results and achievement earlier and at a higher level" (44%, 88 Votes)
• “The players know where the standard is ... There’s less installation, and there’s more competition for us the second time around" (34%, 68 Votes)
• “I take a lot of pride in it and consider myself a tremendous asset to our players and program in that aspect of injury prevention. It’s our No. 1 priority" (22%, 45 Votes)
