Colorado is about to find out if it is ready for prime time with new coach Deion Sanders after nearly nine months of extreme hype.

The Sanders Era at Colorado kicks off with a road game against TCU on Sept. 2. The first home game is the following week against former Big 12 rival Nebraska.

Hidetora Hanada was a highly ranked sumo wrestler in Japan. He decided he wanted to try something different. The 21-year-old is learning to play college football at Colorado State and has improved his English and discovered a love for lasagna.

Larry Scott boasted five years ago that the Pac-12 Conference would be able "to adapt, react and take advantage of this new world media order that's coming in a way others can't." As it turns out, Scott's statement instead ended up reflecting what rival conferences and commissioners did.

The University of Colorado's decision to return to the Big 12 next year is expected to be a boon to football coach Deion Sanders' recruiting efforts in Texas and Florida.

Peggy Coppom says it was a good day to be a Colorado Buffaloes fan when university regents approved the school's move back to the Big 12 next year. The Buffs have been in the Pac-12 since 2012. The 98-year-old Coppom has been attending CU football games since 1940.

The Colorado board of regents has scheduled a special meeting for Thursday. Athletics operations is on the agenda, raising speculation the school may leave the Pac-12 Conference and return to the Big 12.

Deion Sanders will miss Pac-12 media day due to a procedure to remove a blood clot from his right leg and another to straighten toes on his left foot.

Deion Sanders is scheduled to undergo surgery Friday for a blood clot in each leg, the University of Colorado football coach revealed in a video he posted.

New University of Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders faces the possibility of having his left foot amputated as a result of continuing bloodflow issues.
