College football fans reacted to the Associated Press report this week on Deion Sanders’ treatment of former Colorado Buffaloes players. The AP talked to a couple of players (and their families) about how Sanders managed players coming from the 2022 Buffaloes team.
Sanders wound up cutting 50 players following the Buffaloes’ spring game, and another 20 players volunteered to leave after the game. The synopsis of the AP report reads that most of the existing players felt Sanders and his coaching staff didn’t give them a fair chance to prove themselves before they were cut and were used for other reasons.
Sanders made a big show of telling the 2022 Buffaloes team that their jobs were on the line when he first met with the team. Sanders followed that up in the spring by cutting many players.

Sorry-But there isn’t a school in existence where certain players don’t feel slighted. Winning comes at a cost—Unfortunately FEELINGS don’t matter 😂😂

He's a flash in the pan. You gotta be able to coach.

How many players did jiffy lube Jay get rid of and replace with transfers? It happens everywhere but Prime is more public and brutally honest.

Deion ruined the portal with his selfish, unaccountable misguided and racist actions.

Hopefully, recruits and portal players see through the BS the @DeionSanders is telling them. Please read this article before making a decision to play for him. If your name isn’t Sanders or Hunter, you could be on the chopping block at any minute.https://t.co/lAa10gqtLj

The Portal has ruined college football. If you don't like a school, coach, or system…then leave. If you get challenged by a coach to improve, kids leave. Where is the loyalty? College education is expensive. 3% of players make it to NFL. NIL $$ is also another issue.
