Deion Sanders is quickly changing the culture and the mindset of Colorado football as he enters his first season as the program’s coach.

And he has the goal to resurrect a Buffaloes’ program coming off its most substandard season since 2012.

However, Sanders has made it clear that the standard of excellence in the program has been raised to a new bar.
