Sanders reportedly also threatened to dismiss anyone who didn't attend the concert, though the report didn't specify if the "mandatory" directive was because of Shedeur Sanders being part of the opening act, or because Sanders wanted to ensure that Lil Wayne played to a packed house.
even if you assume both scenarios for a player to quit because their coach to them to attend a concert, or being ordered to support their QB, for them to respond by quitting the program seems an extreme reaction on the players part. snowflakes maybe?

Most likely this would the final straw for some of these kids as these kids want to play football, not be part of Deion's circus.

It’s more likely that this was one of a bunch of other ridiculous things and enough was enough. If this story is true and Deion did make them go, do you really think this was the only instance of him acting like a clown? What other respected coach would run his program this way?
I really liked the spark Deion brought to college football but it sounds like it’s gone way overboard. Don’t see how this ends well.

Or they don’t want to play on a team that is all about the coach’s son and his opportunities and not about the team and winning?

It's more likely just the latest incident in a weird culture that seems to put his son on a pedestal above the team. If you're serious about college ball and maybe getting to the next level, why stick around that shit when its easier than ever to transfer and get paid elsewhere?
a) every team has a few transfers once a new coach arrives, but somehow it's a bigger deal because it's Deon. meh
b) when I played, we were taught you support the QB no matter what. Players should have wanted to go see him perform and getting ordered by your coach should be more embarrassing to the player then a reason to quit.
c) fine not everyone might like Lil Wayne but if that's the straw, they already two feet out the door.
They’d have to do that too, huh? Sanders is setting up his post college career to play, rap and whatever else - are his teammates supposed to devote all their time to his schedule?
There are thresholds for everything in life, sports included. If you played them than you should know that. Deion and his son likely crossed it many times.

Lmao, this is ridiculous on so many levels. Terrible take. And then a "snowflake" reference also as a cherry on top.

dated maybe but not terrible. when we played we were told more than once it was God/Family/school/football. So the "other things in life" weren't a consideration. There was once a time.
And what if Deion was pulling them away from those things
Non scholarship athlete who wanted to go to grad school for law or medicine or anything have important exams and finals coming up and was told he had to attend this concert or else?
lol. Wanna bet Deion and Shadeur would be totally confused by this?

With a father known as "Prime" I suspect that both son's have a ton of pressure on them. I hope they get to live their own lives and not a rubber stamp of their Dad.
+1 Hire a clown expect a circus. I wonder if the president of CU will ever step in pull the plug on this nonsense?

Odd place to go with that comment.
I think Deion only remembers how last season started, not how it ended. His 15 minutes as the football world’s greatest coach may be about up.

Inclined to agree. I don't see how this ends well for CU.

It's a clown show, not a division I football program.
I am more likely to Graduate from CU than he is

Where will that leave CU once his son graduates?

JFC the idiocy on this board is astounding.
Off the board.
