USC’s Lincoln Riley had high praise for Colorado football head coach Deion Sanders at Pac-12 Media Day — with the former perennial Big 12 championship head coach at Oklahoma respecting the headline-grabbing methods of roster-building.
“I give (Sanders) credit,” Riley said (h/t Buffs Beat). “We all know what the rules are. We all know what the parameters are. And our job is to build the best teams that we can for the universities that give us the opportunity to do it. No excuses. There obviously needed to be a roster transformation there in coach Sanders’ opinion, and he went about it aggressively.
