Big news, Buffs fans! Coach Prime, Deion Sanders, is back and looking good! After some recent health concerns, Coach Sanders made a confident appearance at Big 12 Media Days, stating he's "doing wonderful" and "living lovely." While he didn't reveal specifics about his recent absence, his return to the spotlight and positive demeanor are fantastic signs. Kevin Borba Dives into how crucial this is for the Buffs. 

09:04 Deion Sanders isn't just coaching football; he's becoming a vocal advocate for saving college football from itself, particularly when it comes to the Wild West of NIL. Coach Prime recently spoke out forcefully at Big 12 Media Days, calling for a "salary cap" on NIL deals. He argues that the current system, where schools are reportedly spending tens of millions on freshman classes, is creating an uneven playing field and making it "hard to compete." Sanders believes the sport needs to emulate the NFL with clearer rules and regulations, and a cap would prevent lesser-known players from getting inflated offers that are simply out of reach for many programs. He's not against players earning money, but he wants a more structured and equitable system. This push for reform highlights his commitment to the integrity of the game and ensuring that competitive balance isn't solely determined by the deepest pockets. His strong stance is a welcome challenge to the current NIL chaos. 

18:07 Coach Prime is keeping us on our toes regarding the Colorado quarterback situation! At Big 12 Media Days, Deion Sanders confirmed what many suspected: the battle to replace Shedeur Sanders is wide open. He even brought both contenders, Liberty transfer Kaidon Salter and true freshman Julian "JuJu" Lewis, to the media event, stating, "We brought both of them because I don't know which one is going to start." Sanders praised both QBs, calling Salter "unbelievable" and "off the chain" due to his experience, while noting that JuJu Lewis is "coming around the mountain." He even entertained the idea of a two-quarterback system, emphasizing that "as long as they're doing their jobs and we're winning," anything is possible. This uncertainty means fall camp will be crucial, and it promises an intense competition for the starting role, which is a good thing as it pushes both players to be their best.
