Born in Florida and a longtime resident of Texas, Deion Sanders stands to benefit plenty from Colorado’s upcoming move to the Big 12 Conference. Coach Prime has already recruited those two states heavily during his early days with the Buffs and he now owns another added advantage following Thursday’s seismic switch.
Few shared any dissent toward Colorado leaving the Pac-12. The departure, which requires no exit fee, was necessary and comes as athletic director Rick George’s latest success.
Sanders shared his own approval of the move in an interview with 247Sports.
“If everything I’m hearing is true, I applaud our (AD) Rick George for choosing the best scenario for all athletics at CU,” Sanders told 247Sports. “This move is a game changer and we plan on changing the game.”
Colorado’s athletic programs will soon embark on its final Pac-12 seasons before joining the Big 12 next summer.
