[@scottsyverson4260]

This new version of NFL Lite called college football has left a significant fan base group out - the alumni. Alumni have been the backbone of collegiate donor funding, not just to athletic programs, but to their alma maters in general. This connection between alumni and alma mater was grounded in tradition and connection to long rivalries. With TV revenues now as the prime force shaping college football and not regionality, traditions, or rivalries, what then is the difference between the mercenary NFL and collegiate football? It remains to be seen if additional TV revenues will offset the additional operating costs due to expanded conferences and the loss of alumni donations caused by this break in meaning to a large, wealthy consumer base colleges have counted on for centuries.

[@esuswalk2006]

That's Incorrect if you want to WIN you need a strong ALUMNI base of donations, the best players cost money ie, high school recruits and transfer players. SO if you want Alumni influence then you better breakout your checkbook!

[@scottsyverson4260]

@@esuswalk2006 You are telling me what you want not, what the alumni want. They only pony up bucks when their needs are veing satisfied. Has any conference done any marketing research on what alumni feel about all this re-alignment? If so, they have not have not published it, which tells me it is a bad outcome.

[@G_R_C]

There is nothing like talking College Football. NFL and all Pro sports are settled on the field %100, you have the record that gets you in the playoff and you work your way through the playoffs to a Championship. College Football has so many teams and so many variables that a great season/record can leave you out of the post season, and a average schedule with a good record can get you into the post season. It makes talking about match-ups and possibilities so fun. In the NFL you can talk all you want about who would beat who, but it just always gets settled on the field, nothing like FSU getting left out last or even Georgia who probably would've been able to win the whole thing getting left out with 1 loss too. Just endless possibilities to talk about.

💯 it's so not fair. I am a lifetime CU buffs fan. That Florida schedule and Oklahoma schedule are brutal. If either of them make it out with 4 losses it's a great season. While Nebraska could lose to Ohio st., and still be in the big 10 championship with 1 loss because there 3 hardest games are usc, colo , Oh st.

[@timebomb42]

Well let me put that to bed right now we are definitely losing more than two games this year, in fact, I'm more than confident you're going to beat us in week 2 just because winning makes us nauseous. I will say however, the other side of a nine-game conference schedule is the possibility that you get one more difficult game added to your schedule instead of one more easy conference opponent​@@highbrixgardens9491

​@@highbrixgardens9491 Dame thing can be said about Missouri and the schedule they have

They weren't afraid to see things differently, but recognize that both perspectives can be valid and informative. ESPN, please take note.

@@ff18Buffs would you set Colorado's win total at 8 like Klatt?

[@ff18Buffs]

@@alexesteve8769 yes, I would. The improvements on the DL and the solidification of the secondary is a game changer for what was a bad defense. Teams are going to get sacked and picked off a lot. Changes in coordinators is also huge. The OL is the key, and the talent has doubled, but they must show up right away. CU will be 4-0 to start the year and wants to make statements.

[@alexesteve8769]

@@ff18Buffs the talent can double from last and still not compare to the rest of the teams in the league. Maybe their starters are better than last year, but their depth is just as thin. The lines of scrimmage are better on average than in the big12 of this year than the lines Colorado faced last year. The O-line was leaky last year but Shedeur held on to the ball way longer than he needed to. One of the big improvements of the O-line, that you mentioned, this year is an incoming 5 star freshman who will have to start day 1. How well will he do against players 4 years within a system nearly every week? With how thin the depth is and the quality that's on the schedule, be happy to make a bowl game. 8 games would be amazing but that will likely not happen for Colorado for the foreseeable future.

[@ff18Buffs]

@@alexesteve8769 COLORADO's roster is better than pretty much everyone in the Big12, period. I agree that a paper roster vs an experienced together roster is different, but one thing that helped was getting the Transfers in January vs later in the previous year. Seaton has some big expectations he has to meet and the OL was struggling a bit in camp because the Colorado DL is in my opinion the BEST in the Big12, but they have figured it out and iron sharpened iron, so pretty happy with that. We have depth at every position right now as much as any typical NFL team would for a 53 man roster. Do folks want Colorado to succeed or fail? The Buffs are rejoin the Big12. Colorado will be in the 7-10 win range, period.
