It may be jarring to hear Deion Sanders bluntly tell Colorado football players they might want to look at their options, but that's how college sports has worked for years, writes DanWolken.
Is it one of the more unsavory aspects of college sports? Perhaps.
The Buffaloes are now open for business, and aside from a few positions where he's already got big-time players coming with him from Jackson State, like his son Shedeur Sanders and cornerback Travis Hunter , dozens of roster spots are up for grabs. If there’s not room, Colorado will make room — if you’re a difference-maker.
But since the COVID-19 pandemic, pretty much everything has changed in college sports. Players can jump from one school to another without much friction. The potential for players to earn money through name, image and likeness deals means the non-traditional schools at least have a chance to compete for talent with the bluebloods. And because the transfer portal works both ways, coaches won't be criticized nearly as much for encouraging players to find another home.
