If you had millions to put towards CU recruits in the name of Name, Image, and Likeness, would you do so?
- No chance. Sure, if I won the lottery, I would donate more to CU, but there are more important things in life than giving 18-year olds cash. I miss the days when coaches developed programs (45%, 104 Votes)
- In a heartbeat. If Oregon and Oklahoma State can build national programs with the infusion of extra dollars, why can't CU? I'm tired of losing, and would like to see CU compete for championships (32%, 74 Votes)
- I like the James Earl Jones Field of Dreams quote: "For it is money they have, and peace they lack". I don't know if I would save CU if I won the lottery, but I'd like the chance to find out! (23%, 55 Votes)

CU athletic director Rick George: “With NIL, there’s some things out there that I’m disappointed in, that some schools are doing, because I think some of it falls under inducements". Thoughts?
- Duh. Glad Rick George recognizes that schools are out there buying players. The question is: What is he - and the NCAA - going to do about it? (In the meantime, CU fails to get players) (44%, 119 Votes)
- If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. George had a year-and-a-half on the NIL committee to get some national rules worked out. Didn't happen. CU is standing on principle ... and getting left behind. (36%, 97 Votes)
- Nice to see George has a good understanding of the issues. Since he was on the NCAA NIL committee, I trust/hope that he is in on the plan to bring some sense to what is going on out there (20%, 56 Votes)

Report: Texas A&M boosters set up LLC's for incoming recruits, paying $25 million to buy highest-ranked recruiting Class. Thoughts?
- The end of days. If recruits (and transfers) can openly (and legally) offer themselves to the highest bidder, college football is not only as bad as the NFL, it's worse (no salary cap) (71%, 252 Votes)
- Not a surprise, but it doesn't mean anything to CU. It's not like any of these recruits were ever going to look at CU anyway (16%, 58 Votes)
- It just bugs me that CU has never been able to find a true sugar daddy. The Buffs are one T. Boone Pickens or Phil Knight away from buying relevance (13%, 44 Votes)

It's been widely reported that CU quarterbacks coach Danny Langsdorf has been hired to be the offensive coordinator at Temple. Thoughts?
- A win/win. CU needed to move on from Langsdorf (not much development of CU's quarterbacks), while Langsdorf lands on his feet. A good move for both parties (49%, 151 Votes)
- CU was at 11 assistants, and seemed set. Now there is another assistant to be named. Let's see who is the new assistant (which position group? Can they recruit?) before passing judgment either way (43%, 132 Votes)
- Sorry to see Langsdorf go. New CU offensive coordinator Mike Sanford's record with quarterbacks is less than stellar, so the loss of Langsdorf doesn't bode well for the future of CU's offense (8%, 26 Votes)

Which story of the day did you find the most interesting/intriguing/compelling?
- That outside linebackers coach Brian Michalowski has not been retained. I understand that CU had to let go one of its existing coaches, but I'm surprised that it was Michalowski (48%, 148 Votes)
- That Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams has entered the Transfer Portal. OU has already lost Spencer Rattler. Is this a sign of problems in Norman, or is Williams just testing the waters? (29%, 91 Votes)
- That CU's game at Oregon was postponed for a second time (this time due to issues in Eugene). This makes you wonder just how many basketball games will actually be played this spring (23%, 70 Votes)

I like the question about SS’s negative coverage. Personally, I think the see-saw coverage is mostly about “stirring the pot” and/or getting clicks. SS is this year’s draft soap opera–a love/hate fest For one negative story there is a more positive one. Some stories are just hit jobs (anonymous NFL assistant/exec), others just cover every minutia of his life. Yesterday, Kiper has him still going early.
SS is an intriguing draftee warranting discussion, however the extensive overall coverage on every detail for one QB prospect seems over the top. NFL teams have their draft boards, needs, and evaluations and they make decisions based upon that. I’ll be glad when SS and TH are picked today and the focus will be on our team.
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!!
‘SkoBuffs!! Drub the Nubs.
Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.
Did Coach Hagan just let the cat out of the bag regarding Colorado’s starting QB?
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??? 🙂
