The harsh truth behind the curtains of the Colorado Buffaloes has come out, and it’s not looking too good for Coach Prime. The coach has always been seen or heard talking about how the camaraderie within the squad is at its peak but after a few whistleblowers from the team narrated their horrifying experiences, it is evident that there’s more dirt on the Buffaloes than the team lets on.

There is no doubt about the fact that this is a crucial season for the Buffs since they desperately want to redeem themselves after 2023’s disastrous season. But this sense of urgency seems to be rolling over the teammates and the pressure that Deion is subjecting them to. With stories of regular violence occurring between the players and Shilo’s bullying of Cormani McClain, Colorado’s reputation is taking a massive hit, but Coach Prime’s loyal fans are still coming to his defense.

Deion Sanders’ faithful fans are out to protect him

The former director at KVOA in Tucson, Matt Reynoldson took to X and commented harshly about the stories that are coming out of Boulder. While terming it an “extremely condemning report”, Reynoldson claimed that the aggressive situation doesn’t seem to look too safe for all the athletes who are currently in Boulder. Yet, the fans of Deion will do anything to protect his golden reputation and their beloved CU program.

To this, a loyal fan of Deion’s defended him with all her might and talked about how ‘Athlon’s’ report is nothing but a plot of clickbaiting. She wrote, “It’s not a “report”… it’s fake clickbait by an unserious website pretending to be a news site. It looks like you have a true journalism background. You know what this junk is.” Though it might be “junk” to some, there’s no denying that some of these stories are downright horrifying since they put a big question mark over whether Deion cares enough about his players’ safety.

The environment in the team is gravely concerning to student safety

Cormani McClain’s exit from the team was bashed around by the entirety of Colorado fans but they would have trouble picking up their jaws off of the ground when they heard about the news of Shilo slapping the young 20-year-old during practice. However, this claim has now been proven to be false by Cormani himself.

Additionally, when Jordan Seaton, the 5-star OL came to Colorado, everyone was rejoicing since he’s such a talented player and could turn the tide around for the team. But the recent report from Athlon stated that he and Savion Washington were involved in a fight that left the pair bloody. The players who witnessed the incident described it as a barbaric sight and also said that it looked like “two bears scrapping for food.”

Out of the several players who chose to leave Colorado, one of them anonymously gave his opinion on the environment within the team and said, “It’s like a real-life Grand Theft Auto video game. There are many distractions with fights, guns, and money floating around. The environment is unlike any I’ve come from before.” Whether all of these stories are true or just well-spurned lies, is yet to be proven but if there’s any hint of the truth to any of these narratives, then it would make CU a really atrocious place for students to thrive or even feel safe as a football player with so much violence and a sense of aggression floating around.
