Deion Sanders wants to transform the college football spring games into pre-season games in NFL style

The spring game in Colorado is on April 19, and since Deion Sanders became the head coach of Buffaloes, the spring games are well attended and have drawn an important television audience. But Sanders think bigger.

Sanders said in a College Football world where teams pull themselves away from spring games, he wants to make them bigger by turning them into a little more like an NFL pre -season.

“Everyone moves to stop spring games.” It won't stop, I just think of a way to improve it, so I want to play against someone. “

Sanders said that in the future years he would like to have another college team for joint exercises to Boulder before playing a spring game against each other, as the NFL teams do.

“I want to style it like the professionals.

It didn't take long for Sanders to find a potential opponent: Syracuse trainer Fran Brown went shortly after Sanders made his comment, and wrote Syracuse Will Colorado's first spring opponent.

“@Deions and we will come 3 days after Boulder”, Brown wrote.

Although the NFL fans have become tired of pre -season games, they could arouse great interest in spring at the College level. The games would be sold out in many locations and the television values ​​would be high. Sanders' idea is very useful.
