Could Deion Sanders’ time with Colorado be coming to an end sooner than expected? Jason Whitlock of The Blaze is sounding alarm bells, claiming that Coach Prime might be ready to pack up and leave Boulder after the Buffaloes’ 36-14 loss to BYU in the Alamo Bowl. According to Whitlock, the situation in Colorado is dire, with a key issue being the depletion of NIL funds, which he claims led to defensive losses and player frustration.
Whitlock, citing a reliable insider, said the program’s lack of money for NIL deals has left Colorado scrambling. He pointed out that going into the Alamo Bowl, the team was already out of NIL funds. To make matters worse, some offensive players were reportedly partying for days before the game, showing a lack of focus and discipline.
Coach Prime may have spent a significant portion of the NIL budget on insurance for his star players, Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter, both potential NFL draft picks. This move left the rest of the team on a strict budget during the bowl, which, according to Whitlock, led to a subpar experience compared to BYU’s lavish setup.
If the NIL situation is true, the departures of Shedeur and Hunter could open up a larger budget to improve the team’s roster moving forward. However, if this dysfunction persists, Colorado might face the nightmare scenario of losing Coach Prime sooner than expected. Hold on tight, Buffs fans—the future of your program is on the line!
