Deion Sanders and his notorious remarks have rubbed up wrongly against one of the panelists. Jason Whitlock, aka Sanders’ harshest critic, showed no sympathy as he addressed the HC’s recent remarks. After publicly coming on and asking the NCAA to reimburse for his players’ robbery losses. Whitlock has now grilled Prime Time on his YouTube channel.
Deion, as usual with his explosive charisma and nonchalant attitude said the words in a presser. The incident transpired after Buffaloes’ players complained about losing their jewelry and money mid-way through the game. While the UCLA Bruins celebrated their victory over a resurgent Colorado side, the robbery took center stage. And since it was done against Sanders’s youngsters, the HC came out with guns blazing! Whitlock took apart the comments and the impact it created on the playing stage. The criticism came after Deion defended his players and asked for reimbursement since his players were without insurance.

Coach Prime is synonymous with someone who embodies aggression, is in your face, and carries an air of confidence. While he does impart those qualities in his players, his side was at the receiving end of Whitlock’s bashing. Speaking in a recent episode of his YouTube channel. Jason highlighted how Deion demanded a reimbursement for the UCLA locker-room robbery.
Whitlock wasn’t amused and gave the HC a piece of his mind. He said, “Deion is arguing that the NCAA should reimburse his players for their mistake or some breach of security. This blows my mind and the role or NCAA owes them money. That’s not how life works!” The advice might sound harsh, but it is worth its weight in gold!?
This was a callous incident that shouldn’t have happened had the CU Buffs players secured their possessions. However, with Sanders coming in on the pressers and asking the NCAA to undergo an investigation, it irked Whitlock. With all the money Coach Prime’s players are making and the celebrations that have followed, this incident was bound to happen!

Finding the root cause of the robbery is necessary. Ever since Coach Prime dropped another creative verbal volley, the incident has created ripples in the controversy-marred league. Prime Time said, “This is the Rose Bowl. The granddaddy of them all, right? I’m sure Granddaddy has some money. Grandpa should have some money to give these kids.”
This comes in weeks after his son Shedeur‘s $70,000 wristwatch celebration caught the ire of the public. While pundits and panelists were bashing the youngster’s celebrations, Coach Prime remained mum on the topic and went on about his business. So where’s the fine line to draw between showing off and social media flexing? Is it necessary in the current era for players or even for rookies to show off their riches to attract fans?
