The report is true. I’m not going to sit in here and tell all my business, but they’re not the only ones. And I would be a liar if I told you they didn’t. You know they did. I know they did. Everybody there know they did. So it is what it is.” [IMG alt="Jackson State coach Deion Sanders"]https://www.gannett-cdn.com/presto/2022/11/28/USAT/3dd35d7e-e6e8-4bc8-ba97-33a09c814fab-AP_Jackson_St_Sanders_Future_Football.jpg?width=660&height=466&fit=crop&format=pjpg&auto=webp[/IMG] Colorado is [URL='https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/pac12/2022/10/02/colorado-fires-football-coach-karl-dorrell-winless-start/8159543001/']coming off a 1-11 season[/URL] and is seeking to regain the national relevance it had in the late 1980s and 1990s, when it was a national powerhouse program [URL='https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/2017/10/04/ex-colorado-coach-bill-mccartney-dementia-really-happening-me/724872001/']under coach Bill McCartney[/URL]. To win, the Buffaloes need to recruit nationally, as they have in the past. Sanders, a Pro Football Hall of Famer and celebrity pitchman, could help them do that, instantly bringing national attention to CU after so many years as an underperforming program. And now it’s up to him.

My focus is right here in this beloved stadium to be dominant on Saturday. That’s my focus, and I keep the main thing the main thing. And everyone that knows me know that about me. I have an innate ability to focus and keep the main thing the main thing.” Sanders has compiled a 26-5 record in three seasons at JSU, including 11-0 this season. His team plays Saturday in the Southwestern Athletic Conference Football Championship.
