Deion Sanders has found himself in hot water with the NCAA after committing a recruiting violation. The Colorado Buffaloes head coach discussed quarterback recruit Julian “JuJu” Lewis before he officially signed with the team, a violation that has resulted in disciplinary action from the university.
Colorado has stopped live streaming Sanders’ coaching show and removed two episodes from YouTube. They’ve also reduced Sanders’ in-person recruiting days and required him to attend additional rules education sessions.
This incident has raised concerns about Sanders’ future at Colorado. Some believe that this violation could be a sign of things to come, and that Sanders’ disregard for the rules could jeopardize the program.
But others are defending Sanders, arguing that the violation was minor and that the punishment is excessive. They believe that Sanders is a positive influence on the program and that his recruiting tactics, while sometimes unorthodox, are within the bounds of NCAA regulations.
This situation will be closely monitored by the NCAA and college football fans alike. Will Sanders learn from this mistake and avoid further violations? Or will this be the beginning of a tumultuous tenure for Coach Prime at Colorado?
