CU football: Buffs will use 'leadership council' to pick captains

Mike MacIntyre is taking a unique approach to naming captains for his team this year.

On Saturday, the Colorado head football coach said that he will select four captains for each game this year, with those four being picked from a 12-player leadership group.

"We have 12 guys on our leadership council that are seniors and juniors," MacIntyre said. "We even have a sophomore in there. I'm meeting with those guys multiple times during camp and definitely once or twice a week during the season. I'll rotate four of those guys each game to be a team captain.
