"Appreciate you Mr. Rick": Deion Sanders Jr. expresses gratitude to Colorado's athletic director for giving him a lavish experience

George has been the athletic director at CU since Aug. 2013. He hired Deion Sanders as the coach for the Colorado football team in Dec. 2022 and the Buffs have transformed into one of the most improved programs since then.

In his first season, Sanders led Colorado to an underwhelming 4-8 record as they failed to qualify for a bowl game. However, this season, Colorado finished with a 9-3 record (7-2 Big 12) and was close to breaking into the College Football Playoff.

Nonetheless, the Buffs had to settle for a bowl game. They will face fellow Big 12 rival BYU in the Alamo Bowl at the Alamodome on Saturday. The Colorado players, staff, and Sanders Jr. will now travel to San Antonio in style in a luxury Rolls Royce plane.
