So, Deion Sanders — yeah, that Deion — made his way to Big 12 Media Days. Even with worries circling around his health, he just showed up. Maybe it was a thing he wanted to check off the list. Dude’s in his third year coaching the Buffaloes, right? Last season was solid, 9-4 and all, but now with Travis Hunter and Shedeur Sanders gone, things might get … let’s say, dicey.
When “Coach Prime” took the mic, he had loads to chat about. You know, quarterback this, 2025 goals that, and oh, the transfer circus. But hold up — he tossed out this wild idea about college football needing a salary cap. Seriously. He’s like, “NFL’s got it, why don’t we?” Makes you think, right? Rich schools buying up all the talent while others struggle with the scraps? Yeah, not too fair.
His whole point was like, players know their worth — or at least they should. “You’re top tier, you get paid; you’re not, well, you gotta deal with it.” But then, someone not so great hops over to a new school and suddenly snags a half mil? Deion’s not having it. Personally? It felt like he was tackling a big elephant in the room.
And there he was, pondering tough questions. Like, if conferences such as the Big 12 could stand a chance against mammoths like the Big Ten, without splurging millions on newbies. Look at Ohio State, Texas, Oregon, Georgia — those guys have the bankroll. Meanwhile, Colorado’s playing catch-up, hoping for a miracle.
So here’s the kicker: is a salary cap in college football’s future? Who knows. But man, it’s fun to watch these powerhouses play Monopoly with real players. Thoughts?
