Deion Sanders is the biggest story in college football right now. Even after being handed the first loss of the season at the hands of nationally ranked Oregon (42-6), everyone still wants to know what Coach Prime and the Colorado Buffaloes are doing next.
A big part of Sanders’ appeal is his no-nonsense approach to coaching and setting expectations for his players. While some might be repelled by his bluntness, those that do play for him seem fiercely loyal.
For Chad Biagini, president of Nolan Partners, a sports-management company, the Colorado players remind him of investment bankers. He says their willingness to enter a demanding environment where expectations are sky-high — where they know they’ll be pushed to the limit — is a mindset similar to banking pros.
