#Colorado Buffaloes Head Coach Coach Deion “Prime” Sanders has reportedly ended his feud with CBS after a contentious summer. The conflict began when CBS Sports writer David Cobb ranked Sanders as the 15th best coach out of 16 in the Big XII, a ranking that did not sit well with the Colorado head coach. The ranking, coupled with reports surrounding the personal bankruptcy case of Sanders’ son and player, Shilo Sanders, fueled speculation that Coach Prime was not pleased with the network’s coverage.

During the summer, Sanders made it clear he was unhappy with CBS, refusing to engage with their reporters and expressing his frustration with the media in general. His silence created a noticeable rift, especially considering his typically open and charismatic approach to the press.

However, following a public practice for the CU Buffs, Sanders decided to put the issue to rest. He dropped the beef with CBS, signaling a move toward reconciliation as Colorado prepares to kick off their season against North Dakota State University on August 29th.

This gesture of peace comes at a crucial time for Sanders and his team, as they look to focus on the upcoming season without the distraction of media tensions. With the controversy now seemingly behind them, all eyes are on Coach Prime and the CU Buffs as they gear up for what promises to be an exciting season.
