Deion Sanders is catching heat once again because he told Xavier Smith, one of his now-former players, he needed to transfer during the off season. Smith didn’t transfer and then said Prime never gave him a chance during the spring.
It’s time we get something straight. I haven’t heard anyone else discuss this, but it needs to be said: College football isn’t a daycare.
College football is a very competitive and lucrative business. If a coach gives you a heads up that your best next action step is to transfer and you don’t, that’s on you. You don’t have a right to reps. Reps are earned.

Players wanted in the business, and they got their wish. In fact, players are getting even more than they asked for, and they (and young people in general) need to learn there are two sides to being in the business.
You don’t…
