Which of Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott's "scenarios" do you see as the most likely to play out?
  • "Conference only schedules" - Reducing the schedule to nine games will buy schools time, while still producing a legitimate conference champion (45%, 60 Votes)
  • "Moving the season to spring" - Hate to see it happen, but with all of the unknowns, collegiate sports will need an extra four months to figure things out (and get better treatment options) (32%, 43 Votes)
  • "A delayed start" - The way things are going, schools may wait until November to get going on a delayed (and perhaps truncated) schedule (13%, 17 Votes)
  • "Playing all 12 games as scheduled" - It may not be in front of many (or any) fans, but college football needs to be played ... and will be (10%, 13 Votes)

Five Pac-12 schools are not releasing results from COVID testing. Thoughts?
  • I'm okay either way, but there should be uniformity. The conference and/or the NCAA should step in and make some universal guidelines about reporting positive tests (36%, 54 Votes)
  • No problem with that. You are dealing with privacy issues here, and as long as protocols are maintained, schools can decide for themselves what information to release (34%, 52 Votes)
  • I don't like it. It's unfair to other athletes, the student body in general, and the local population to withhold information. Athletes need to be able to make informed decisions about their health (30%, 45 Votes)

CU: “We anticipate that only those customers who have purchased season tickets will have access to game tickets”. Thoughts?
  • Makes sense. In all likelihood, there will be no full stadia this fall, so allowing season ticket holders first crack at seats is a logical approach (58%, 108 Votes)
  • I'm okay with it, just as long as it isn't a ploy to get people to buy season tickets, only to end up denying them access anyway when seats are limited to students (or no one at all) (30%, 56 Votes)
  • I don't like it. Not every devoted fan can afford to be a season ticket holder. There are some real fans which are being cut out ... fans which might be lost with this policy (12%, 21 Votes)

Which of the following defensive assistant coach quote gives you the most optimism about the future of the program?
  • Safeties coach Brett Maxie: "If you want to play at the highest level, I can help you get there if you’re willing to do the necessary things to become an NFL player" (51%, 65 Votes)
  • DL coach Chris Wilson: "We’ve just got to do like everybody else and we’ve got to work our butt off to go put a few W’s on the scoreboard" (35%, 45 Votes)
  • CB coach Demetrice Martin: “I think once we get out there on the field they’ll really start to take on my personality" (14%, 17 Votes)

Sports Illustrated proposes a 120-team, 10-league realignment which would see Colorado paired with three Pac-12 schools and eight Mountain West schools. Thoughts?
  • No chance. The only way this would work is if there were mandatory revenue sharing, and there is no way Alabama and Michigan are going to give Tulane and Eastern Michigan equal media paychecks (46%, 100 Votes)
  • No chance. This would basically make CU, Arizona, ASU and Utah Mountain West Conference teams, with little national attention or recognition (and, BTW, no recruiting in Texas or California) (33%, 72 Votes)
  • I could live it, but only if there was a guarantee that the national revenue would be evenly shared, and the conference champion had a guaranteed berth in the 12-team playoffs (18%, 38 Votes)
  • I could live with it, because regional rivalries are likely the wave of the future, and CU would be a dominant program in the new conference (3%, 7 Votes)

  1. Stuart:

    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.

  2. 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!!

  3. Stuart, your polls are so thoughtful and on point. Appreciate you doing this and sharing it with your CUAtTheGame community.

  4. 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??? 🙂
