Yikes. Deion has made a huge splash, brought in some excitement and money, but this celebration is a few years early. Are we celebrating money or great athletics? I think he will turn the program around EVENTUALLY, but 4-8 is nothing to get excited about. Going from 1-11 to 4-8 is not that impressive. The worst thing is Deion teaching these young kids to be flashy, show off watches, sunglasses, running their mouths and luxury cars - instead of showing them what good sportsmanship and hard work looks like. They should've spent more time practicing instead of shopping for watches. Is this the first sportsperson of the year to have a losing record?

What criteria was applied? Talking too much and going on 60 minutes and every commercial on TV? This accolade should go to one with a winning record and a history of that winning with his current team.

Congratulations to Coach Prime, Deion Sanders, for an extraordinary impact on culture and finances, resonating not just at the University of Colorado Boulder but reverberating across the NCAA and the entire nation. Check out the phenomenal TV ratings - Colorado has soared to new heights, featuring in five of the top nine most-viewed games in the first part of the season! Here's a glimpse of the remarkable viewership: Colorado-Oregon -- 10.03 million (ABC) Ohio State-Notre Dame -- 9.98 million (NBC) Colorado State-Colorado -- 9.3 million (ESPN) LSU-Florida State -- 9.17 million (ABC) Texas-Alabama -- 8.76 million (ESPN) Nebraska-Colorado -- 8.73 million (Fox) Oklahoma-Texas -- 7.87 million (ABC) Colorado-TCU -- 7.26 million (Fox) USC-Colorado -- 7.24 million (Fox) On a national scale, these staggering numbers underscore the Buffs' dominance, with an average draw of 8.83 million viewers across Fox, ESPN, and ABC. Let's broaden our perspective beyond the team's win-loss record this season; success at the University of Colorado Boulder goes beyond the scoreboard. Don't miss out on acknowledging the holistic impact of Coach Prime on sports as a whole for 2023!

He is losing recruits left and right. No one wants to commit to a school with his record. They want to go where they have a shot at a national title! Not great TV ratings in the first few games of the season and watch their coach sell sunglasses, 😎 insurance, chicken wings etc...
