Colorado has been the talk of the college football world since Deion Sanders was hired as head coach ahead of the 2023 season. The program has constantly made the headlines, leading many to criticize the team for playing for clicks.

Ahead of the 2024 college football season, the Buffaloes got many talking again. Following the resumption of the team's fall camp, the players had a unique inscription on their practice kits. It had their social media handles written on the back of every player's jersey.

A lot of college football fans reacted to the move from Colorado, with one criticizing the team for playing for clicks. Here's a look at some of the reactions online.

Here are other reactions by fans on social media:

"The clown show continues in Boulder. Great marketing move. Horrible for player development," a fan wrote.

"I would put last years record on them instead," another fan wrote.

"First team to absolutely play for the NIL. The money is out there," a fan commented.

Deion Sanders addresses Colorado being at the center of attention

Colorado has received a significant amount of criticism for always drawing media and public attention since Deion Sanders took over. The coach addressed the situation at the Big 12 media days, noting that won't change in the upcoming season.

"I think ever since I stepped into Florida State in '85 it's been like that for me," Sanders said. "This ain't new to me. I'm not new to this. Like we say in the hood, I'm true to this. So this is new to some of you all and you want us to change. We're not going to change.

"We're going to try to do things being smart, tough, fast, disciplined, with character. That's what we're relaying to all our young men. But the cameras and the lights, I think I haven't seen one kid here today that said he didn't like that."

Colorado finished 4-8 in the 2023 college football season after capitulating midway following a brilliant start to the season. With the team not winning yet, many claim the team gets an unhealthy amount of attention for a program that is far away from the pinnacle of college football.

The Buffaloes will compete in the Big 12 in the upcoming season after ending their time in the Pac-12. There’s a lot of anticipation regarding the performance of the team in the upcoming season following portal additions and mass exodus.
