Deion Sanders says he's “judged on a different scale” than other college football coaches

After becoming the biggest story in sports last year, Deion Sanders continues to make headlines.

Coach Prime joined the University of Colorado in December 2022 after his success with Jackson State, and no one knew what to expect.

After his Buffaloes defeated TCU, fresh off a national championship, in their season opener, expectations soared.

After a 3-0 start, they cooled off and lost eight of their last nine games.

And after another year with the most transfers in and out of the program, Sanders made his feelings known.

“I'm judged on a different scale,” Sanders said this week at Big 12 media day. “My wins are totally different than yours.”

Sanders is one of the most vocal presences in college football, and his son, Colorado quarterback Shedeur, is no different.

The younger Sanders, who could be a top pick in next year's NFL draft, said at media day that Colorado is “everyone's Super Bowl,” adding that there has been immense pressure on him and his father “from Day 1.”

Colorado joins the Big 12 after the Pac-12 disbanded. Arizona, Arizona State and Utah also joined the Big 12.

D will look to find the success he had at Jackson State, where he won two consecutive SWAC championships with the HBCU, losing both.
