Deion Sanders Advocates for College Football Salary Cap

Colorado coach Deion Sanders has been actively using the transfer portal and facilitating name, image, and likeness (NIL) deals to build his roster. However, he recently voiced his opinion that college football needs to implement limits on spending. Sanders believes the current spending is unsustainable and has become “crazy”. He made these remarks during his appearance at the Big 12 Media Days, suggesting that a salary cap could help manage and distribute funds more effectively. Sanders’ comments come amid the ongoing debate about the financial aspects of college athletics, particularly with the rise of NIL deals and the transfer portal, which have significantly altered the landscape of recruiting and roster management.
