• 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)

• Iowa State. The Cyclones have games against Kansas State (in Ireland) and Iowa in the first three games. A 1-2 start might end ISU's Big 12 dreams (23%, 31 Votes)
• Arizona State. The Sun Devils had a good run last year, but Arizona State lost enough talent to question whether a second run is likely (23%, 30 Votes)
• Texas Tech. The Red Raiders (literally) bought their way into the national spotlight. Texas Tech will be better, but won't be able to sustain success for all of 2025 (20%, 26 Votes)
• BYU. The Cougars might be without their starting quarterback, if Jake Retzlaff can't overcome his rape lawsuit, which is enough to doubt BYU's status as a ranked team (20%, 26 Votes)
• Kansas State. Few remember that KSU lost three of its last four regular season games last year. The regular season finale this year against CU might push KSU out of the polls (14%, 20 Votes)

• Too low. Can anyone at Athlon - or any where else - name a coach who could have done what Coach Prime has done at CU in two years? Thought not. Coach Prime is one of the best coaches in the nation (57%, 71 Votes)
• About right. Coach Prime's rise has been impressive, but there are other coaches who have many more years - and more winning seasons. Coach Prime is a good, but not great coach (35%, 44 Votes)
• Too high, actually. If we're being honest, Coach Prime has only been a Power Four coach for two years, with a 13-12 record. The trajectory is certainly positive, but he needs to win without Travis (8%, 10 Votes)
