A number of the violations relate to recruiting activity, both on campus and on social media. A summary of all 11:

  • In December ’22, Sanders’s social team posted an image depicting a spreadsheet of unsigned recruits. The post was deleted after 10 minutes.
  • That same month, a high school coach sent Colorado’s staff a transcript for a player that had not yet entered the transfer portal. Colorado quickly stopped recruiting the player, per the report.
  • Sanders reposted an Instagram video depicting voluntary team workouts in January ’23. The short clip was live for about 20 minutes before being pulled.
  • That same month, a recruit identified by USA Today as cornerback Cormani McClain was featured in a picture “while wearing a uniform on the field, lined up across a coaching staff member (Sanders),” a violation of the ban on “gameday simulations.
  • A website posted the McClain picture to social media, a second violation stemming from the moment. The corner would wind up committing and played as a freshman for CU in ’23.
  • Players that were not active members of the transfer portal attended a Colorado camp open to high school and transfer recruits last May. The violation led to a two-week recruiting ban in June.
  • A Sanders Instagram Live session held in May added a recruit, identified by USA Today as Aaron Butler as a featured participant. Butler would commit to Colorado and later flip to Texas.
  • That month, linebackers coach Andre’ Hart took a picture with a recruit, who posted it to social media “prior to the first permissible date to have in-person contact.”
  • In August, Colorado held a team-wide yoga session led by an intern that was not one of the team’s five declared strength and conditioning coaches, violating NCAA staffing limits.
  • A recruit gained impermissible access to a premium seating area at the Buffaloes’ Sept. 30 game against USC during an unofficial visit.
  • Former Colorado player Matt McChesney and his son, a 2028 recruit, were present for a pregame locker room speech, and the recruit ran onto the field with the team at its October game against Stanford, violating a ban on “gameday situations.”
The minor violations have not halted Colorado’s momentum in recruiting. The program’s 2024 high school class is small but includes one of the nation’s top offensive linemen in Jordan Seaton, a key component given the team’s struggles up front in ’23. The Buffaloes also have hauled in a highly ranked group of transfers, including players from Alabama, Houston, Kentucky, LSU, Oklahoma State and TCU.

That CAC Cash Cleveland looks really out of place out there.
Lmao, I wasn’t tripping



They seem to try having a close friend or something like that on the team. Guess to make dudes feel somewhat comfortable.
There’s plenty of familiarity among some of these signees.

According to a report by USA TODAY's Brent Schrotenboer, Deion Sanders and the Colorado football program received what is essentially a slap on the wrist for 11 NCAA violations.

Schrotenboer iterated that these are in fact "minor" violations, and the fact that the program reported them makes a huge difference. It was also revealed that none of them will have serious consequences, and that this is a commonality in college football with programs like Ohio State and Alabama each running into something like this in past seasons.

"The University of Colorado Boulder Athletic Department is committed to complying with NCAA regulations and will continue to educate our coaches, student-athletes, and staff to ensure that we remain in compliance, "the statement said. "We take all infractions seriously, regardless of the severity, and in these specific cases, these minor infractions were all self-reported to the NCAA."

As for the violations that were committed, it spanned from Deion Sanders being on Instagram Live with a recruit, players not officially in the transfer portal partaking in a postgraduate camp, interacting with the team during voluntary activities, posing for a picture with Cormani McClain as a recruit who was in uniform and in a "athletic stance" on the field. Others included an unsanctioned yoga instructor leading a workout putting them over a threshold for strength coaches.
