“The Dallas Cowboys of CFB”: Fans react as Deion Sanders’ Colorado earns $34.8M in tickets in 2024 

There's no denying that the Colorado Buffaloes are a successful product. While "Coach Prime" has certainly brought a better brand of football to the school, his biggest success at Boulder so far is undoubtedly a marketing one. The Buffs went from an obscure Pac-12 school to a national media darling in two short seasons.

Recently, it was revealed via Complex Sports on Instagram that the school generated $34.8 million in revenue from ticket sales in the 2023-24 season — a whopping amount of money for a college football program.

However, some fans started to question Deion Sanders's approach as style over substance. Here's a look at some of their reactions to the post:

"Deion making Colorado the Dallas Cowboys of college football. Talked about all the time and don’t win s**t lol," one fan said.

"Where do they rank amongst other schools? one fan asked.

"Only if they wasn’t stealing at Jackson State that school would of been up there fr if Prime stayed & now look what he did for the next school year," another fan said.

"There Will Never Be Another Team In NCAA College Football History Who Accomplishes This Achievement," one fan claimed.

"God damn an they said we can’t pay Prime," another said.

"Thank the media for the overhype," one fan added.

Michael Irvin dissatisfied the Dallas Cowboys didn't pick Deion Sanders to be their next coach

Jerry Jones has selected offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer as the next head coach of the Dallas Cowboys. However, Pro Football Hall of Famer Michael Irvin does not agree with this decision.

"We lost an opportunity here,” Irvin said on his YouTube channel. “...I was pushing for Deion Sanders to be the next coach. And I still stand 10 toes down on that push.

“You bringing in someone that already was inside as the head coach, you lose things there that you can’t grab back, that I worry about ... I know what we needed, they don’t have curfew. They don’t have discipline. We were fourth in penalties this year. So how you do fix that? ... How do you do that when you’re coming from inside?” he added.

(from 2:59 mark onwards)

From the midpoint of the NFL season until recent days, rumors of Deion Sanders joining the Cowboys were persistent. The rumors increased shortly after Mike McCarthy was dismissed by the organization earlier in the month, and it was reported that Jones and Sanders had discussed the possibility of him joining the team.
