Deion Sanders, also known as Coach Prime, has had a significant impact on the Colorado Buffaloes football program. Under his leadership, the team saw a $16 million increase in donations year over year and a $21 million rise in ticket sales. Despite this, the program still incurred a $10 million loss. There is skepticism about Sanders' ambitious promises of a College Football Playoff (CFP) berth for the Buffaloes in 2024, with some labeling it as unrealistic and likening Sanders to a false prophet. The skepticism is fueled by doubts about the team's ability to achieve such high goals, with some suggesting that Sanders may be setting unrealistic expectations for financial gain.

Deion Sanders keeps promising a CFP berth for his Colorado Buffs this fall, which is cute. But honestly? Anybody who sets the bar in Boulder higher than 8 wins is just trying to take your money. Or your soul. Column: https://t.co/g2OB2Kq76B #CUBuffs #GoBuffs #SkoBuffs #NCAA
