• All by itself, the theory has no merit, but, when the next round of expansion comes along, anything is possible, including USC going independent (53%, 97 Votes)
• Absurd. One columnist spouts off a theory, and we're supposed to take it seriously? Nevvver gonna happen, so there's no point in even debating the issue (37%, 68 Votes)
• Hate to say it, but the columnist may have a point. USC's brand is greater than that of the Pac-12, and the Trojans could play a national schedule a la Notre Dame ... and be a national power (10%, 19 Votes)

• Regardless of the number of sports counted, CU should be finishing higher. Here's hoping CU's Olympic sports will be more competitive in the future (35%, 43 Votes)
• Sad to see that CU has the fewest number of NCAA sports of any of the Pac-12 schools. I knew the California schools had all of the niche sports, but its sad CU is behind Utah and Washington State (34%, 41 Votes)
• Well, the tally didn't take into account skiing, where the Buffs finished 2nd in the nation, so the numbers are skewed. Take the report with a grain of salt and move on (31%, 38 Votes)

• I like it. You have to trust that Rick George, who has been on the NIL working group for over a year, has had his eye on July 1st for some time, and will do what is necessary to keep CU competitive (51%, 76 Votes)
• It's too early to tell, but I'm betting that CU and its fans will not be "helping" CU's players as much as other teams fans will be helping theirs (39%, 57 Votes)
• Sounds good in theory, but preparing student athletes for future business dealings won't help with recruiting when other schools are finding ways to get their players paid now (10%, 15 Votes)

• Definitely! A long weekend in Vegas, with a nationally televised game in an NFL stadium against an SEC or Big Ten team. Sign me up! (53%, 121 Votes)
• Depends ... If there was a year or two notice of the game (and the opponent), I would consider a vacation in Vegas to watch my Buffs over Labor Day weekend (26%, 60 Votes)
• No. The average temperature in Las Vegas in early September would have to be around 100-degrees. I'll watch the game on TV, and wait for CU to get a Las Vegas Bowl bid, and hit Sin City in December (21%, 46 Votes)

• Greatly so. The gap between the haves and have-nots will continue to grow (and in this context, CU's a have-not). The NCAA dropped the ball by not having national legislation in place by July 1st (48%, 111 Votes)
• It is what it is. I just hope/pray that CU, with its "Buffs with a Brand" program, will have enough going for it that it doesn't hurt CU in recruiting (though I'm not holding my breath) (42%, 97 Votes)
• What, me worry? I'm too busy celebrating the end of the Larry Scott era as Pac-12 commissioner to care about anything else. Happy to have the George Kliavkoff era underway! (10%, 23 Votes)
