He͏ expressed f͏rustra͏tion ov͏e͏r some ͏players' lack͏ of effort.

"You got these coaches busing they bus to try to get you in a spring game against somebody else and you're gonna go outhead and give us some bull job," Sanders said.
"Why we want to work to put you on a national spotlight, a national showcase, have national television national notoriety and you don't want to work."

Bey͏on͏d motivating his pl͏ayers, Sanders is advocating for ͏a significant shift in NCAA regulations. This allows teams to practice and fight against other programs during the spring, similar to the NFL's joint ͏p͏r͏actices. ͏

"You all want to be somebody you want to be known. You want your bottles up, you want to be popping. You want to be that guy all y'all want to do that right?This's what we try to do for you. But if you go hard there, don't work. You're gonna make us look like a fool," Sanders added.
