Deion Sanders is heading into his third season as Colorado head coach, and amid all the hype and attention, he’s still emphasized changing the perception of Colorado football.
That apparently applies to how his players present themselves on campus.
With University of Colorado set to begin its fall semester this week, Sanders met with his players and walked through an actual dress code he expected his players to follow. He added that the football program would have support staff members on campus to make sure players were both in attendance and in compliance with the dress code.
He was clearly serious about it. And that included players taking online classes.
Sanders said:
“No slides. If I see you with ’em, I’m gonna send people to campus tomorrow. If I see you with slides on campus, it’s going to be a problem. If I see you with a hoodie on (up) in class with some headphones on in class, it’s gonna be a problem. If I see you sitting in the back of the classroom, it’s gonna be a problem. Do we understand that? … And if you’re online — if you have online classes — and you don’t have a shirt on, if you have a ‘wife beater’ on, or have something stupid on that’s causing a distraction or you’re walking around during that online session, it’s gonna be a problem. We good with that, guys?”
No slides seems a bit strict, but hey, it’s his team. He sets the rules.
