Deion Sanders wants Colorado to be ready for the football season, but he also wants his players to understand the important role education plays in their lives after football.
The Deion Sanders-led Colorado Buffaloes took the college football world by storm last season. The Buffaloes had a disappointing finish to the season but have added several notable players to the roster over the past few months and will enter the 2024 campaign with high expectations. While Sanders is working to make sure the team is fully prepared for the upcoming football season, he also wants to ensure the players are focused on excelling in the classroom.
Well Off Media shared a YouTube video of Sanders reading the letter he received from the professor. Sanders' son, Deion Sanders Jr., manages Well Off Media's content. This semester has been extremely challenging for me as a professor,' Sanders said, reading the letter aloud during what appeared to be a team meeting. 'I have never felt so disrespected in my ten years of teaching. Students do not follow even minimally, and it slows down my class so much. They make it clear that they don't want to be here and have very little personal responsibility.' The two-time Super Bowl champion then began emphasizing the importance of classroom conduct.
’m a little frustrated. I’m a little angry right now, because … we got youngsters that’s all in on one side of the game,' Sanders added. 'Ninety percent or 95% of your roster ain’t going pro. So, coaches, we gotta emphasize education. We gotta emphasize life. We gotta emphasize the next step, the next elevation if it don’t work in the game.' Colorado will play its first season this fall as a member of the Big 12 after the school's departure from the Pac-12 Conference.
