Is Deion Eyeing the Exit?
Jason Whitlock recently added fuel to the fire by discussing rumors of Sanders leaving Colorado after their disappointing 36-14 Alamo Bowl loss to BYU. According to Whitlock, a source close to the program suggested that Colorado’s budget constraints may push Sanders to move on.
“Colorado was on a very strict budget… the players were frustrated by it,” Whitlock said, highlighting the program’s financial struggles during bowl season. While BYU enjoyed a luxurious experience, the Buffaloes reportedly operated on a shoestring budget , leaving players disheartened. The frustration allegedly spilled over into their lackluster performance.
