Speaker 1: Now the college football and my man one and only
Speaker 1: Prime Time Deon Sanders. After two years when Colorado head
Speaker 1: football coach Deon Sanders has landed five years of significant
Speaker 1: financial security. Via Brian Howell of the Boulder Daily Camera,
Speaker 1: the school has announced a new five year, fifty four
Speaker 1: million dollar deal for Prime Time or Coach Prime. The
Speaker 1: ten point eight million per year agreement makes Coach Prime
Speaker 1: one of the highest paid college coaches in all of football. Okay,
Speaker 1: he makes about ten million in twenty twenty five, ten
Speaker 1: and twenty twenty six, eleven and twenty twenty seven and
Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight, and twelve million in twenty twenty nine.
Speaker 1: S Deon Sander's had eighteen point three million left on
Speaker 1: his original five year, twenty nine point five million dollar contract.
Speaker 1: The deal also features a big buyout numbers ship Prime
Speaker 1: want to leave for another job. Major props to him,
Speaker 1: well deserved. Last season was a good season for him,
Speaker 1: much much better than the first go round the first
Speaker 1: year when he finished like four and eight. But let's
Speaker 1: take into account the magnitude of who Deon Sanders is
Speaker 1: and what we're talking about here. The attention he has
Speaker 1: brought to this program is what really warrants the dollars. See,
Speaker 1: there's a difference between being a star and being box
Speaker 1: office when you're talking about stars. Stars are people who
Speaker 1: show up and do their job at a very high level.
Speaker 1: They produce, but it doesn't always translate in the box
Speaker 1: office appeal generating revenue for a you know, for a
Speaker 1: multitude of platforms that you may have available to you.
Speaker 1: Deon Sanders is that dude for the University of Colorado.
Speaker 1: When't a damn soul in America outside of Boulder thinking
Speaker 1: about Colorado before Deon Sanders arrived. Matter of fact, they
Speaker 1: were one and eleven before he arrived. They improved by
Speaker 1: three games its first year, by four on top of
Speaker 1: that the next year. The man the special. The man
Speaker 1: has done a great job and his ability to recruit.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody denies it's gonna be a challenge,
Speaker 1: no doubt about that. Being in bold of Colorado and
Speaker 1: my estimation, I've always been on the record I would
Speaker 1: love to see him in the SEC if he's gonna
Speaker 1: be in college football. I've always felt that way. But
Speaker 1: there is no denying the magnetism that he has. He's
Speaker 1: a box office dude when he walks in. He owns
Speaker 1: the room. He is that dude. He's the one and
Speaker 1: only Prime Time. Got a lot of love for him.
Speaker 1: He deserves this contract. I'm happy for him. And all
Speaker 1: that noise about his son and bash and arrogant and
Speaker 1: all of this other stuff. Dion said he knows who what.
Speaker 1: Quarterback coach said that the bout him and it was
Speaker 1: dealt with. In the end, you're gonna have people hating
Speaker 1: on Dion and they're not gonna want to deal with him,
Speaker 1: and maybe the thought of having to deal with him
Speaker 1: is what it's turning them off about. Shador. But if
Speaker 1: you want to win, here's a piece of advice from
Speaker 1: Stephen A, get the hell over it. Prime is a winner.
Speaker 1: I think he touches. I think it's upward mobility waiting
Speaker 1: to happen. That's just me
