• I actually think this is a pretty favorable ranking. Considering how the pundits have been skeptical of "Coach Prime - Phase II", it's nice to see that ESPN recognizes CU has a bright future (44%, 51 Votes)
• What struck me most about the list is that ESPN has only one Big 12 team in the Top 15; five in the bottom eight. That doesn't bode well for the future of the conference (36%, 42 Votes)
• I'm not sure how CU can be continuously be rated under the likes of Baylor, Utah, and Texas Tech. CU beat all three last season ... let's give some credit where credit is due (20%, 23 Votes)

• Not too worried - yet. This is the slowest time of year, so it makes sense Coach Prime would take care of health issues while he has the chance. Now, if this drags on in July ... (58%, 93 Votes)
• Troublesome. Especially with the report that Coach Prime cancelled a speaking engagement, and has been missing camps. A history of health issues gives cause for concern as well (26%, 41 Votes)
• Much ado about nothing. Deion Jr. says he's feeling well, and Christopher Neely says he's engaged and energetic. Nothing to see here on a slow news day. Move on (16%, 25 Votes)

• The devil is in the details. No one does anything for nothing, so in exchange for a nice check, what would CU be giving up now, and into the future? Would such a deal make sense in the long term? TBD (54%, 75 Votes)
• Yes. CU is going to need to shake every tree in order to find funds to compete with the big boys. Rick George says he is going to be "aggressive" - this would be aggressive (25%, 35 Votes)
• No. There are some lines you don't cross, and selling out your athletic department (and your soul?) to private equity firms is way over that line (21%, 30 Votes)

• Doesn't matter. Yormark can do all the lobbying and politicking he wants, but the Big Ten and SEC will decide what's best for them, everyone else be damned (79%, 82 Votes)
• No. "We want to earn it on the field of play" is not only a bold stance, but the correct one. The Big 12 shouldn't concede any extra playoff spots to anyone (12%, 12 Votes)
• Yes. If you review how the Big 12 would have fared with 11 selection spots in the past, it's not pretty. Not sure why Yormark would be advocating for, in essence, fewer playoff spots (9%, 10 Votes)

• "To be determined". If Coach Prime stays, and is successful, CU can compete financially for players, and remain relevant nationally. If Coach Prime leaves (or retires), all bets are off (77%, 115 Votes)
• A "loser", because CU isn't in one of the "Power Two" conferences. With the $20M extra Big Ten and SEC schools receive in media revenue, they can absorb paying players much more easily (13%, 19 Votes)
• A "winner", because CU is in a Power Four conference, and has been positioning itself to start paying its players. AD Rick George will keep the CU athletic department ahead of the curve (10%, 15 Votes)
