According to a new report from Athlon Sports, multiple Colorado Buffaloes football players quit the team over a Lil Wayne concert. And yes, you read that correctly.

The report states that Coach Prime made it mandatory for Colorado football players to attend the concert, to support Shedeur Sanders and his rapping career.

It was the "last straw" for some players.

"The Wayne concert was the final straw for a few players who hit the transfer portal," a source told Athlon Sports. "When Coach Prime told us we all had to be there to support Shedeur as a rapper, they were not happy at all. To be honest, it was nothing but a huge distraction and Daddy Ball was being played."

Colorado is hoping that all of the roster turnover ends up being a good thing for the 2024 season and beyond.

Right now, though, there's plenty to question over the program.

Yeah, that happened 2 pages back, guys.

Yes, it did. I had to dig up the thread to post it.

He didn't suddenly pick up a new persona.

But let's all take shots at him for being himself.  Brilliant.

Same could be said for Trump 

Athlon Sports with a condemning report on the chaos within Prime’s program - for better or worse, lot of this sounds like what was common in 1980s/90s college football:

“A few former players have spoken anonymously to Athlon, fearing retaliation, if they went on the record. "It's like a real-life Grand Theft Auto video game," one former player said. "There are many distractions with fights, guns, and money floating around.”

Violence & Bullying: “Another former player went deeper into the violent incidents within CU's football program, recounting three separate alleged occurrences over the past year, each unfathomable in any normal locker room. This insight sheds light on what happened with former five-star talent Cormani McClain and why his experience in Boulder was negative. "Cormani was taking a lot of heat from everyone," said the former player. "At the same time Coach Prime was saying he was in the doghouse and needed to improve, Cormani was getting bullied by Shilo (Sanders). After the Oregon State game, Shilo slapped him several times, which left Cormani screaming 'I'm going to kill you' repeatedly.”


More Violence & Bullying: “This violence often seemed to come from personal vendettas, but not always. Jordan Seaton, another five-star recruit, was allegedly bullied into "proving his manhood" and picked to fight former CU lineman Savion Washington. In April, the two were said to have exchanged blows, leaving both bloody.”

Violence & Gambling: “…there was another alleged incident involving a gambling debt between backup QB Colton Allen and wide receiver Kaleb Mathis. Days after the Seaton-Washington melee, the son of Robert Mathis, who's CU's defensive back coach, was asked to pay Allen over a gambling debt in excess of $10,000, according to a former CU player. When Mathis refused, he allegedly proceeded to punch Allen repeatedly in the locker room, with players and coaches witnessing the assault.”

Gun Culture: “Outside of the fights, which now appear to be spilling over to the field during practice with Coach Prime even encouraging teammates to square off against each other, the gun culture is troublesome…Another Colorado player showed off a handgun while announcing his commitment. Chidozie Nwankwo had what appeared to be a Glock .40 on the table as he celebrated with Prime on a livestream. For the most part, the "flashing incident" went under the radar but has relevance to the type of culture being fostered behind closed doors. In fact, Prime and his staff took his players up into the mountains for a retreat this offseason. The theme was to bond over fishing and shooting guns at the range.”
