There is some buzz around Colorado as Deion Sanders is rumored to be interested in filling the head coach vacancy in Dallas, with the Cowboys having already made contact.
However, the Buffaloes have also made headlines due to their impressive GPAs while playing for the former NFL superstar.
The Buffs went 9-4 in Coach Prime’s second season, though they could not end the term on a high note, losing to BYU in the Alamo Bowl.
The loss also marked the end of an era, albeit a short one, with Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter headed to the NFL Draft. Given the possibilities in Dallas, Deion could also be on his way out.
In the meantime, the program is making waves after reaching an average GPA of over 3.0 for the first time in history.
“For the first time in CU Football history our team gpa was over a 3.0!” Colorado assistant James Chaney announced in a tweet on Thursday.
Deion Sanders Cares About Education
Deion Sanders cares about academic performances as much as he does about on-field achievements and has even threatened to withhold NIL earnings from players who don’t meet the standard in class.
Coach Prime has always been keen on developing men rather than just good football players. He has been upfront about the fact that many of them won’t make it to the NFL, citing it as a reason they need to have a good education.
Most CU players, including Shedeur and Travis, took their classes online.
“Ain’t none of them on campus because things have changed,” Sanders told the ‘Million Dollaz Worth of Game’ podcast in an interview.
He added:
“Everybody is taking classes online and they graduate. Shedeur has never taken a class on campus in his whole college career. Shilo [Sanders] may have at South Carolina but I don’t remember Travis [Hunter] ever being on campus as well. So they missed a whole part of the collegiate experience. But to each his own.”
The quarterback and cornerback/wide receiver both did very well as students, posting GPAs of 4.0.
Coach Prime should be extremely proud of what his players have been able to accomplish both on and off the field in recent times.
Eagles Fan Ryan Caldwell Finally Breaks His Silence After Getting Fired From Job & Permanently Banned From Lincoln Financial Field For Verbally Abusing Female Packers Fan

Ryan Caldwell, the Philadelphia Eagles fan who went viral for cruelly verbally abusing Green Bay Packers fan Ally Keller during Sunday’s Wild Card Round game, has broken his silence on the incident.
Keller attended the game at Lincoln Financial Field with her fiancé, Alexander Basara. The latter shared a viral video of Ryan Caldwell verbally abusing Keller and using derogatory language towards her.
The Eagles have since announced that Caldwell has received a lifetime ban from home games. He was also fired from his job as a project manager at the BCT Partners consulting firm.
Speaking to Jenna Lemoncelli of the New York Post, Ryan Caldwell expressed remorse for his actions and apologized to Keller. He also claims that the video shared by Basara doesn’t provide the entire “context” of their verbal altercation:
“While attending an NFL game last Sunday to support my beloved Philadelphia Eagles, an incident occurred that I deeply regret. What began as banter with two Packers fans sitting near me escalated to something more serious, and I said things that were unacceptable. In the heat of the moment, I chose unforgiving words to address one of the fans, Ms. Ally Keller.
I want to sincerely apologize to Ms. Keller for those words, and to my wife, family, and friends, my former employer and colleagues, Packer fans, Eagle fans, the Philadelphia Eagles, the City of Philadelphia, and all who were offended.
That said, there are two sides to every story. The video clip circulating online does not reflect the full context of what transpired, and my actions were not without provocation. I will live with this experience, and I am certainly paying a personal price. For those who don’t know me, this incident does not reflect my values or the respect I have for others and is not indicative of the person I am.”
