<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders">Deion Sanders</a> has been named Sportsperson of the Year by Sports Illustrated magazine. Though the former star of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys">Dallas Cowboys</a> and the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers">San Francisco 49ers</a> had a losing record in his debut season with Colorado, the transformation process is a success.



“In less than a year, Coach Prime has not only transformed a moribund Colorado football program. He’s also breathed fresh life into the campus and transformed a community.”



Obviously, the question for thousands of fans in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> is how it’s possible for Sanders to receive such a distinction with a record of 4-8 and without making it to the playoffs. 



However, with all his <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> experience, the hype around the Buffaloes was impressive, bringing unprecedented economic benefits to the University of Colorado. The numbers are just amazing.

<h2>Deion Sanders has been named 2023 Sportsperson of the Year</h2>



In his debut, Deion Sanders led Colorado to a major upset with a 45-42 win against&nbsp;TCU&nbsp;on the road and then got victories over&nbsp;Nebraska&nbsp;and&nbsp;Colorado State.


 

 


However, the downfall began with consecutive losses facing contenders like&nbsp;Oregon&nbsp;and&nbsp;USC. Since that moment, the Buffaloes couldn’t recover and finished the season with eight defeats in their last nine games.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231013#BUS#75223"></div>


Despite being very close of becoming bowl eligible, that dream will have to wait until 2024. However, the distinction for Sanders as Sportsperson of the Year relies on a tremendous impact off the field.



“First-year applications are up 26.4% year over year; Black or African American applications are up 80.6%; nonresident applications are up 29.8%; and international applications are up 38.4% from 97 countries, including 16 that didn’t have any applications last year.

The report from Sports Illustrated emphasizes September sales at the school’s online team store were up 2544% over the same month in 2022. Furthermore, all the home games for the Buffaloes were a sold out at Folsom Field and very few analysts projected more than three total wins for Colorado.



That’s why, Deion Sanders is confident that great young players from around the country will play at Colorado. “You’re gonna be pleased with what’s coming. I promise you that. It’s time to start projecting and start thinking about the tomorrow already. Everything you see that we have a lack thereof, a deficit, we’re gonna fill that need.”

<h2>How much money Deion Sanders makes at Colorado?</h2>



A few months ago,&nbsp;Deion Sanders&nbsp;signed a&nbsp;five-year, $29.5 million contract&nbsp;with&nbsp;Colorado. Most of that money came from fans donations who wanted a star leading the program. They believed.



In his first season,&nbsp;Coach Prime&nbsp;made at least $5.5 million. It’s the biggest contract in program’s history. Of course, there were a lot of incentives which gave a boost to the final number.

<h2>Deion Sanders warns Colorado are coming in 2024</h2>



Even after finishing the season with six consecutive losses, Deion Sanders believes Colorado will become a contender next season when they move from Pac 12 to the Big 12. This was his answer when asked about what percentage of the possible additions will come from the transfer board to help quarterback Shedeur Sanders. 







“A plethora. We want to win now. Right? I don’t mind putting the high school kids in the microwave and let them warm up a little bit. I don’t mind that. But you got to understand what you really get out of that. What we need for Shedeur, we know where to find it. It ain’t hard to find.”


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231013#BUS#75223"></div>


<h2>Deion Sanders believes the future is bright for Colorado</h2>



Coach Prime thanked all fans who believe he has established a great foundation for what’s to come for the program. That’s why he is already looking for big moves in 2024.



“The foundation is a little shaky in certain areas, but we’re certainly headed in the right direction. We’re certainly trending for it. We got our butts kicked twice this year of 12 games (Oregon and Washington State). Every other game, we had a shot. I think that’s progress. We’re getting ready to start cooking. Ready to start to go pick that grocery.”

Now, the dream of becoming bowl eligible in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> has faded after a massive 56-14 loss to&nbsp;Washington State. Coach Prime, with all his experience in the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>, made a shocking confession when asked by a reporter if this was the toughest stretch of his coaching career so far. 



“This is the toughest stretch of probably my life. I’m very saddened of how we played. We prepared like no other and to display a performance like that it’s not indicative of who we are. We’re falling short of what we are capable of. I would have never fathomed that this would have been the conclusion of the score if you asked me two weeks ago. There’s no way.”

<h2>Deion Sanders still believes in Colorado</h2>



Even in the middle of a huge crisis with five consecutive losses,&nbsp;Deion Sanders&nbsp;believes the future is bright for the program. Though the downfall has been enormous, the head coach won’t lose faith in his players. However, he made another admission which surprised thousands of fans.


 

 


“I have not seen us quit. I have not seen us turn it down. I applaud them for fighting and not giving up. I’m still trying to figure out out identity. Who we are in turbulent times and I still don’t know after all these weeks.”



Sanders also was asked about what’s the biggest difference on his team compared to the start of the season. “Attitude and desire. Just attitude and desire.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231013#BUS#75223"></div>


<h2>Deion Sanders gives injury update about Shedeur Sanders</h2>



Shedeur Sanders left the game against Washington State in the second quarter. Coach Prime explained that the quarterback had numbness in his hand and he couldn’t really grip the ball. 



“When they got Shedeur out of the game, it was tough from then on. He couldn’t really feel the ball. The second time he got injured was when we had a bad snal and I think they rolled up his ankle. That was it. He couldn’t grip the ball and his ankle. The rest is history.”

<h2>Will Colorado play a bowl game this season?</h2>



At the beginning of the season, that goal seemed within reach thanks to four wins in their first six games. Now, with a record of 4-7, things are totally different for&nbsp;Colorado.



Colorado&nbsp;needed two more victories to become bowl eligible. However, after their loss to Washington State, they’re out of that race. Furthermore, the last game of the season would be an uphill battle at Utah and they’ll probably finish the season with a 4-8 record.

Deion Sanders sent a surprising message after Colorado’s loss against Washington State

Deion Sanders sent a surprising message after Colorado's loss against Washington State - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Deion Sanders</a>&nbsp;had an amazing start of the season as head coach at&nbsp;Colorado. The former star of the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a>&nbsp;led his team to a major upset with a 45-42 win against&nbsp;TCU&nbsp;on the road and then got victories over&nbsp;Nebraska&nbsp;and&nbsp;Colorado State.



However, the downfall began with consecutive losses facing contenders like Oregon and USC. Since that moment, the Buffaloes couldn’t recover and now they have suffered six defeats in their last seven games.



Despite being very close of becoming bowl eligible, the dream seems to have faded after a crushing 34-31 loss to Arizona. Once again, Colorado had a fourth quarter lead to pull off a major upset against a Top 25 team in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a>, but they faltered in crucial moments. Coach Prime, with all his experience in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a>, just couldn’t believe what’s happening.



“We are so close is what I told the team, but yet so far. We just simply, truly don’t know how to win yet. It’s not for lack of effort, not for lack of coaching with the staff or the support staff. Everybody around , they’re doing a phenomenal job. We just can’t get over that hump. Another game, right there. Seemed like we were the better team and we just couldn’t get it done.”

<h2>Deion Sanders warns Colorado are still coming</h2>



Even in the middle of a huge crisis with four consecutive losses, Deion Sanders expressed pride in the work he has done with the program in less than a year and issued a big warning about what is yet to come.


 

 


“The best thing about it is that in our first year, we haven’t even been here a year, we’re right there. I mean, we’re right there in all these games except for the one in Oregon. We’ve had opportunity to win. We’re gonna give our fans better. We’re close. We’re really close.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231013#BUS#75223"></div>


<h2>Deion Sanders sends a heartfelt apology to Colorado fans</h2>



Coach Prime stated that he had a very emotional talk with his players in the locker room after the loss against Arizona and admitted regret for not being able to respond with positive results to all the support from fans in Boulder.



“Apologizing to the fan base. They’ve been supporting us. They’ve been showing up and showing up another sellout crowd that ended in disappointment. We had a conversation with the seniors who would never get to play here again and I apologized on behalf of just myself that we didn’t send them out right.”

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders">Deion Sanders</a> and Colorado had a great start to the season with three consecutive victories against TCU, Nebraska, and Colorado State. At that time, the Buffaloes were the biggest surprise in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a>.



However, the free fall began with a tough 42-6 defeat to Oregon. After the game against the Ducks, Colorado lost to USC, won against Arizona State, but the massive blow came with Stanford when they let go of a 29-0 halftime lead.



Now, the crisis continues as Coach Prime and his players lost 26-19 at home against Oregon State. For the first time in a long time, the former star of the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/dallas-cowboys" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dallas Cowboys</a>&nbsp;and the&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-49ers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">San Francisco 49ers</a> took responsibility for what’s happening.



“This is hard. The reason it’s so hard is because you know you’re capable of doing better. Playing better, performing better, calling better games and coaching better on my behalf. You are coming up short, when you have enough to get the job done. It’s painful. It hurts myself, the team and all the coaches and fans.”

Deion Sanders makes a shocking admission after crisis with Colorado - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders">Deion Sanders</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado">Colorado</a> had everything under control with a 29-0 lead at halftime facing Stanford. Everyone at Folsom Field believed the Buffaloes would get to a 5-2 record, a step closer of bowl eligibility. 



Then, a historic collapse occurred. Stanford delivered one of the most impressive comebacks in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a> history and took home a 46-43 win in double overtime. 



This was supposed to be another big step for Coach Prime in a turnaround season. Though they had big losses against Oregon and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/usc">USC</a>, the victories over TCU, Nebraska, Colorado State and Arizona State were more than the initial projection of many experts for the entire 2023 schedule.



So, following a terrible night, Deion Sanders faced the press and delivered a very surprising message for his players. The former <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> star admitted they’re not coming after all.

<h2>Deion Sanders questions Colorado’s players after loss to Stanford</h2>



All the optimism Deion Sanders showed in the first month of the season, suddenly disappeared after the meltdown against Stanford. In fact, Coach Prime had very strong words for his players.


 

 


“What I just said in the locker room to the team is they got to make up in their mind. Are they in love with this game or are they in like with it? Because when you love something, you give to it unconditionally. You give everything you got to it. But when you like it, that’s just a button you push.”


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20231013#BUS#75223"></div>


For the first time in weeks, Sanders admitted Colorado aren’t ready for the big games yet. He’ll have to shake up things quickly after the bye week as they’ll get next UCLA and Oregon State. “Right now, we’re not built for the moment. Some of our players aren’t built for the moment where they have to make a play.”

Deion Sanders and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado">Colorado</a> suffered their second loss of the season against <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/usc">USC</a> and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Draft-Caleb-Williams-confirms-shocking-team-he-wants-to-play-for-in-2024-20230223-0034.html">Caleb Williams</a>. However, it was a very different version of the Buffaloes compared to last week’s beatdown at Oregon.



Though the Trojans dominated the first half and had a 34-7 lead at one point, Colorado stormed back with another spectacular performance by Shedeur Sanders and freshman wide receiver Omarion Miller.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230924#BUS#67289"></div>


There’s a lot to build on after a 48-41 final score. That’s why, in a video which immediately went viral, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders">Deion Sanders</a> gave a tremendous speech following an epic showdown at Folsom Field in Boulder. 



<h2>Deion Sanders’ epic speech to his players after loss to USC</h2>



Deion Sanders had great words for his players in the locker room after a tremendous performance in that second half against USC. Coach Prime recognized it was an amazing display of courage.







“You have nothing, nothing, nothing, not one thing to hang your head down on. You guys fought. You’re resilient. You didn’t give up. You could’ve quit. You could’ve tapped out. I’m so damn proud of y’all, man. Now you understand what we are.”



Furthermore, Sanders emphasized those final 30 minutes could be a key factor for the rest of the season. These are the remaining rivals on the schedule: Arizona State, Stanford, UCLA, Oregon State, Arizona, Washington State and Utah.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230903#BUS#56545"></div>

Deion Sanders gives an emotional speech after Colorado lost to USC - Bolavip US

<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders">Deion Sanders</a> is ready to face his most complicated game of the season when Colorado host USC at Folsom Field. The Trojans are favorites to win the Pac-12 and get into the college football playoffs led by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caleb-williams">Caleb Williams</a>. 



Meanwhile, the Buffaloes have to regroup after a brutal 42-6 loss against Oregon. Following a 3-0 start, reality hit hard on Coach Prime and his players, but, the season is not over yet.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230904#BUS#56898"></div>




However, considering <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado">Colorado</a> are once again 21.5-point underdogs, Deion Sanders has taken a cautious approach off the field. Though he will have the national spotlight, the respect for <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/usc">USC</a> prevailed before the showdown in Boulder.



<h2>Deion Sanders praises Lincoln Riley and USC</h2>



Deion Sanders has seen a lot of football during his illustrious career. That’s why, ahead of the game between Colorado and USC, he wanted to make clear Lincoln Riley is a superb head coach for the Trojans.







In fact, Deion admitted he’s been suprised by Riley since his days at Texas Tech. “Great challenge ahead of us. I have the utmost respect and love and appreciation for their head coach.”



During the course of the season, Sanders had never shown so much appreciation for a rival coach. Considering all the trash talk there’s been in the last few weeks with Colorado State and Oregon, this was very different when speaking of Lincoln Riley. 


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230928#BUS#69540"></div>


“This is a bona fide winner. Not just a winner. A man who has put a plethora of young men into college and they care about the character of the men. I’ve got love, respect, and appreciation for everything that he’s accomplished. He is one of the upper tier coaches and I admire him tremendously and his staff.”

After an amazing 2022 season with&nbsp;USC,&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/caleb-williams">Caleb Williams</a>&nbsp;won the Heisman Trophy&nbsp;as the best player in&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a>. The&nbsp;Trojans&nbsp;were really close of the playoffs and a shot at the national title, but a crushing 47-24 loss with&nbsp;Utah&nbsp;in the&nbsp;Pac-12 Championship Game&nbsp;derailed their hopes.



The 21-year old is just a phenomenal athlete and the sky is the limit. That’s why many experts and recruits are convinced that he will be a huge success in the&nbsp;NFL. In what could be his last season for the Trojans, he is a favorite to win it all. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230904#BUS#56898"></div>


Now, before USC face Colorado in a showdown at Folsom Field, Williams talked about the national hype of the program led by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders">Deion Sanders</a>. It’s been a very controversial topic after <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/sports/dan-lanning-destroys-deion-sanders-and-colorado-in-viral-speech-20230923-BUS-67259.html">Dan Lanning’s speech</a> in the game between the Buffaloes and Oregon. 



<h2>Caleb Williams respects the hype for Deion Sanders and Colorado</h2>



Before the game against Colorado, Caleb Williams was asked about the attention on the Buffaloes all season. It’s important to remember that, at least for coaches like Dan Lanning, this has been kind of annoying.


 

 


“It’s been good for them. Something that Colorado’s needed and haven’t had in a while. Deion and his son, you know, Travis and all those other players have done a good job making that side of the world and that stadium and all of that very exciting.”



Williams also emphasized that this is not a personal duel with Shedeur Sanders in the famous race for the Heisman Trophy. That’s why, even with the absence of Travis Hunter, he has a lot of respect for Colorado.



“They’ve done a great job. It’ll be a good game. I won’t be competing against Shedeur. I’m excited to compete against their defense. They’ve got a great defense. I’m really excited to get out there and go vs the defense, our defense go vs their offense and to have the crowd roaring at us.”

This Saturday, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/usc">USC</a> visit Colorado in one of the most expected games in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football">college football</a>. There will be huge names in Boulder such as Shedeur Sanders, Caleb Williams and, of course, head coaches Deion Sanders and Lincoln Riley.



So far, even after a big 42-6 loss against Oregon, Coach Prime’s work with the Buffaloes has been remarkable. The three wins in four weeks facing TCU, Nebraska and Colorado State are more than the total projection made by some experts for their entire season. 


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230223#CMS#0034"></div>


Just to put things in perspective, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado">Colorado</a> finished 1-11 in 2022.

“I don’t say stuff just to say it for clicks. On contraty to what somebody say. Yeah, I keep receipts. One thing that I can say honestly and candidly. You better get me right now.

“I don’t think there’s a target on our back. I just think teams are trying to beat me. They’re not trying to beat our team. They keep forgetting I’m not playing anymore. I had a great career. But that’s what it really is. I do’t think they get any extra satisfaction. It is what it is and I signed up for it. So, let’s go.”

Deion Sanders&nbsp;faced his toughest challenge as head coach of&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/colorado" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Colorado</a>&nbsp;at <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/oregon" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Oregon</a>. In one of the most expected matchups in&nbsp;<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/college-football" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">college football</a>, the Ducks got a resounding 42-6 win.



Colorado had been impressive with a 3-0 record after wins over&nbsp;TCU, Nebraska and&nbsp;Colorado State. According to many experts, their projection was to win two or three games overall. That’s why Coach Prime caught the national spotlight.


 <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230904#BUS#56898"></div>


Colorado were 21-point underdogs on the road and, without Travis Hunter, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/deion-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Deion Sanders</a>&nbsp;and his players had no response against Bo Nix. Now, there’s still a tough road ahead.



<h2>What happens after Colorado&nbsp;lost to&nbsp;Oregon?</h2>



Colorado lost to Oregon in Week 4 of college football and now the Buffaloes have a 3-1 record before their toughest game of the year against USC and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl/NFL-Draft-Caleb-Williams-confirms-shocking-team-he-wants-to-play-for-in-2024-20230223-0034.html">Caleb Williams</a> on September 30.


 

 


Of course, the win by the Ducks put them early in the driver’s seat alongside the Trojans to reach the Pac-12 Championship Game. However, there will be a lot of teams in the mix: UCLA, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State and Utah. It’s going to be a tremendous race. 



As Oregon beat Colorado by a wide margin, the Buffaloes most certainly will be out of the Top 25 and they will have no margin of error to win the conference and keep the dream alive of getting into the playoffs. 



Nevertheless, it’s already been a huge turnaround for the program and a season of six or seven victories will be a tremendous achievement. Though Coach Prime won’t give up, a Pac-12 title seems almost impossible.
