“Romi, Eric Christensen [CBS Colorado Managing Editor of Sports] and I all attended the University of Colorado, so in addition to Prime’s Playbook being a show that will appeal to every Buffaloes football fan this is also something that’s near and dear to our hearts, both personally and professionally,” said Tim Wieland, KCNC president and general manager. “Coach Prime has not only energized the fan base, but also made the University of Colorado a center of attention nationally. CBS Colorado is thrilled to partner with Coach Prime as we discuss each week of this highly anticipated and hopefully history-making season.”
Sanders was named head coach at Colorado in December. His first game will be September 2.
“The University of Colorado will be one of the most compelling stories in college football this year,” Bean said. “We’re so excited to have Coach Prime break it down for us every week on CBS Colorado.”
