In all seriousness, this is a MASSIVE gamble by CU. I think it’ll work out. That staff is, incredible.


Not really that big of a gamble. It would be a major gamble for a team like Florida, Auburn and other teams that have had recent success. Colorado is terrible. Worst that could happen is he suck’s as bad as the last guy, guy before that guy, the guy before that guy and so on.

Just saw the video. Deon's son is going to record and post on social media everything that goes on in practices and games.

Looks like it's essentially gonna be a reality show that will give enormous exposure to the program and make players famous.

College athletics has already turned into the wild west and this approach seems to embrace that. I'm guessing it will either be a home run or a total flop. If I had to bet, I'd lean toward the latter, but who knows.

they've been doing that for a few years now, I think.

Well Off Media is a group that I think may be ran by one of his sons.

The fist thing I thought when I learned of this hire was - Colorado to the Big12.

CUs lazy football was a good fit in the lazy PAC, but if you’re going to jump conferences, you want to have your **** together.

To me this is CU attempting to get their **** together.

Keyshawn, Jwill, and Max show just said Colorado is changing their transfer credit process.
LOL, schools aren't even hiding it anymore.

Not exactly sure.

Also could be playing with dynamite. Who knows what PT will do to gain more attention. I'm sure they have to have a rules person basically tied to him.

Say what you want about Deion, but in the videos I've seen of him from Jackson State I think he does a great job of trying to mentor young African American kids about some of the perils of being young and successful. I saw clips after both Young Dolph and Takeoff got murdered of him mentoring them on being careful who you let in your circle and making sure you stay focused on things that get you ahead in life.

So on the "prejudice" nonsense, you can go ahead and get lost with that. I think the guy has an honest desire to help kids from tough backgrounds succeed and stay away from some of the traps that get guys in trouble.

The guy who thinks there should be like a "super special" Hall of Fame for his dumb ass?

Can't see it.

Joel Klatt was talking about this yesterday, on a some show. It's been in the works for a bit. Apparently, Colorado didn't have a General studies major, and as a result, a lot of credits from other schools wouldn't transfer in. I guess it's been a complaint from athletic and non-athletic students for a while.

But with that said, you know that they were wanted to make sure it was done before Coach Prime started recruiting.

Keyshawn said he's a PAC 12 booster (whatever that means) and when SC goes to the B1G that he'll support them, but then instead of supporting the PAC, he'll support Colorado.

I like it, it's a discipline thing. Be on time, no hats, hoodies, earrings, or cell phones Just funny how it is being viewed now. The "prejudice" nonsense was just that, nonsense.

I just think it's funny he says no hats while wearing a hat.

I watched the video of him addressing the team and he's not someone I'd like to play for. I don't think Prime needs a 39 year old with a torn Achilles though, so he probably wins.

Now, I do not know exactly what Ferentz's rule was, so it could have been the same as Deion's rules, but my understanding is Deion's rule applies only during team meetings.
