Colorado alum еxposеs Dеion Sandеrs amid NCAA violation controvеrsy

In a recent episode of ‘he Coach JB Show with Big Smitty, an anonymous Colorado alum shared his experience of getting falsely accused by Colorado authorities of the self-reported 11 NCAA violations. The alum exposed Colorado authorities, including Coach Prime, stating, “Coach Prime doesn’t report this s**t. Why would I call him about this? What’s he gonna do and say I guess ‘talk to compliance’? I don’t know anybody in the compliance office. I have no idea who those people are, and I don’t work there.”

The Colorado alum further expressed his frustration at the lack of communication. He stated that he received no text message, email, or call to verify these accusations. “I just got no text message, no email, no call to verify, nothing. So, the media is how I figured it out, and that’s how I was told about it,” he stated, “And I don’t know how many times I told the guy from USA Today alone before he even ran the story. I didn’t go to the Stanford game, my son didn’t go to the Stanford game. We watched it at home. And he’s like, ‘Oh, well, it’s not a big deal, it’s just a minor infraction. People get hit with this all the time.'”

This exposé follows the recent violation report by USA Today Sports, revealing 11 inadvertent violations in Colorado’s athletic department, which is deemed common in virtually every major college athletic department.
