If I had any criticism of Deion is that he told the players in a public press conference rather than in private in the team meeting room.
The only thing Prime about Sanders is the shit show that he is. I agree with the Chief, this won't last long. My only regret is it isn't happening at Auburn.
From what I got listening to him, it sounded like he was saying if you didn’t want to be there, then leave.
CU has been a shit show for a long time. The university can't get out of its own way. The AD publicly said that they don't have the money to pay Sanders right now: https://www.si.com/college/2022/12/05/colorado-ad-deion-sanders-contract-money This is the place that hired Gary Barnett, who was literally paying for escorts to entertain recruits. They only just started an NIL collective, which was formed by a student and not by local business leaders.
They are probably setting up NIL deals with the weed distributors. Could be a hell of a recruiting advantage.
Don't think it was cocky. You have to understand when a new coach comes in, The AD gives an overview of the team. Skipping class, quit on the team, faking injuries, etc. Prime heard all of that and found out that the team sucks and they quit on the coaches. He basically let them know, if you are here for a sweet ride, you have another thing coming and if you have that same loser attitude, you might as well jump in the portal. These are grown men. Accept accountability and work your are off.
He saw enough on tape and what he heard from the AD. Those kids quit on the program and Prime is not putting up with that BS. Get in gear or get your are in the portal. "I'm coming"!!!
I hear what you're saying, but there are a lot better ways to handle that situation than blasting a bunch of players when you don't even know them.
