Colorado
and
Deion
Sanders
reportedly
admitted
to
11
minor
NCAA
violations
involving
recruits.
Coach
Prime’s
Deion
Sanders’s
first
year
as
head
coach
of
the
Colorado
Buffaloes
has
officially
wrapped
and
his
authentic
swagger
and
new-age
recruiting
style
reenergized
a
program
that
only
saw
one
win
in
the
previous
year.
Coach
Prime
instantly
made
Colorado
football
must-see
TV
and
sold
out
every
ticket
package
imaginable
but
of
course,
when
you’re
moving
as
quickly
as
the
team
did
throughout
the
season,
mistakes
are
made
along
the
way.
According
to
Sports
Illustrated,
Colorado
self-reported
11
minor
NCAA
violations
during
their
first
year
under
Coach
Prime.
The
violations
include
the
following;
December
2022-
an
image
ended
up
on
social
media
from
Sanders
and
company
showing
a
spreadsheet
of
potential
recruits.
The
post
didn’t
stay
up
long
but
the
violation
had
already
occurred.
January
2023-
cornerback
Cormani
McClain
was
featured
in
a
picture
“while
wearing
a
uniform
on
the
field,
lined
up
across
a
coaching
staff
member
(Sanders),”
violating
a
ban
on
“gameday
simulations.
A
second
violation
from
the
same
incident
happened
when
a
website
shared
the
pictures
on
social
media.
Cormani
is
still
on
the
Buffaloes
roaster
as
we
speak.
May
2023-
Players
who
were
not
in
the
transfer
portal
attended
a
Colorado
Spring
Camp
for
active
transfers
and
high
school
recruits
which
earned
Prime
a
two-week
recruiting
ban
the
following
month.
Players
who
were
not
active
members
of
the
transfer
portal
attended
a
Colorado
camp
open
to
high
school
and
transfer
recruits
last
May.
The
violation
led
to
a
two-week
recruiting
ban
in
June.
May
2023-
Coach
Prime
added
recruit
Aaron
Butler,
to
his
Instagram
Live
which
later
led
to
him
committing
to
Colorado
before
switching
to
Texas.
When
you
bring
nationwide
attention
to
your
school’s
program
you
should
always
expect
the
NCAA
to
pay
extra
attention.
Social
media
has
been
a
powerful
tool
for
Coach
Prime
at
Colorado
but
has
also
caused
many
issues.
Self-reporting
violations
is
the
best
path
forward
and
most
experts
do
not
expect
any
harsh
punishment
to
come
from
the
violations.
In
year
one
of
the
“Prime
Era”
the
team
ended
with
a
record
of
4-8
and
have
already
flipped
their
roaster
this
off-season
thanks
to
the
transfer
portal.
Hopefully,
Prime
grabbed
some
protection
from
the
portal
for
Shedeur
Sanders
heading
into
the
2024
season.
