WATCH: $45 million worth Deion Sanders raps his way into first Big 12 Media Day as Colorado HC
Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders arrived in town to much fanfare when he made an appearance on day three of the Big 12 Media Days. The event is being held at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
The $45 million worth coach (as per Celebrity Net Worth) arrived in a sleek private jet, carrying Louis Vuitton luggage. He made an entrance into the venue while rapping as the cameras clicked away.
A clip on X of the coach rapping was posted on the 'Sko Buffs Go Buffs' page.
Oklahoma State Cowboys coach Mike Gundy was thrilled to have Deion Sanders in the conference, praising him heartily during the Big 12 Media Days.
“It was very enjoyable being in a room with him and getting his contribution to a lot of the subjects we were talking about. And I think we’re lucky that he’s with us because he brings more notoriety and viewers to the Big 12 Conference," Gundy said.
"We want people to watch our teams play, and it’ll be fun to have him in our league. I can only imagine what his competitive level is, so it’ll be fun to have him in the league.”
Deion Sanders a big hit among Big 12 coaches
Deion Sanders has had a two-part career - as a legendary MLB and NFL player and then, as a college football coach in the FCS with Jackson State. The FBS was introduced to the Coach Prime show last year with Colorado in a big way.
The Buffaloes departing the defunct Pac-12 for the Big 12 has given the flamboyant coach a bigger stage to show his wares. He has already shown that he is going to take advantage of it.
Several Big 12 coaches were in awe of Sanders on Day 2 of the conference's Media Days. First up was Texas Tech Red Raiders coach Joey McGuire, who coached Coach Prime's eldest son, Deion Sanders Jr., in high school.
“I love Deion,” said McGuire. “I coached Bucky, his oldest son, in high school and he’s honestly the best dad of a player I’ve ever had. Colorado is going to be really good. They’ve added a lot of talent and they do have one of the best quarterbacks in the nation."
Longtime Utah Utes coach Kyle Whittingham was also full of praise for the work that the Buffs coach has done in Boulder.
The reception that Deion Sanders is getting from his fellow coaches just goes to show how revered he is in football circles.
