Deion Sanders says he’s ‘judged on a different scale’ than other college football coaches

Deion Sanders was the biggest story in sports last year, and he continues to be a talking point.

Coach Prime joined Colorado College in December 2022 after a successful stint at Jackson State, and no one knew what to expect.

Expectations were soaring after the Buffaloes beat freshly-returned national championship team TCU in their opening game last season.

After a 3-0 start, they completely fell off the rail, losing eight of their final nine games.

Now, after another year that saw the most transfers both into and out of the program, Sanders expressed his feelings.

“I’m measured by a different standard,” Sanders said at Big 12 media days this week. “My wins are just different than your wins.”

Sanders is one of the most vocal players in college football, but his son, Schedulle, a quarterback at the University of Colorado, is no different.

The Sanders brothers, potential high picks in next year’s NFL draft, said at media day that Colorado is “everyone’s Super Bowl,” adding that there has been a lot of pressure on them and their father “from day one.”

After the dissolution of the Pac-12, Colorado joined the Big 12. Arizona, Arizona State and Utah also joined the Big 12.
