Late last week, a local radio host for 92.5 in Denver said the words that no Colorado fan wanted to hear: that Deion Sanders' days as the Buffaloes' head coach are numbered. The comments stemmed from what Coach Prime said at Big 12 Media Days, calling for a salary cap in college football and his growing concern that only a select few programs have the money to be legitimate contenders moving forward.
Pundits have pondered on Sanders' eventual departure from Boulder since he arrived, with many expecting he would leave after last season when Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter left for the NFL.
