Deion Sanders proposes new format for Colorado spring game

Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders is proposing a significant change to the traditional spring game format. Unlike other programs that have canceled their spring showcases due to concerns about player transfers, Sanders wants to treat the game like a preseason matchup. Sanders is looking for another team to compete against his Buffaloes in Boulder. This approach reflects his view of college football as similar to the NFL, aiming to maximize the offseason experience for players and fans. The challenge remains in finding a willing opponent, as many programs are hesitant to participate in spring games amid transfer portal concerns. Sanders' proposal marks a departure from the current trend among top programs.
