The Buffs conference schedules are set for the next four seasons

The Colorado Buffaloes know their conference football opponents for the next four seasons. Barring any additional expansion, of course.

The team will be playing nine Big 12 conference games. In 2024 and 2026, the Buffs will play five home games and four contests on the road. In 2025 and 2027, it’s four home games and traveling for five.

CU will play host to Baylor, Cincinnati, Kansas State, Utah, and Oklahoma State next year.

They also have some exciting new road trip opportunities for fans. In 2024, the Buffs travel to Orlando to take on UCF. Additionally, there’s away games against Kansas, Texas Tech, and Arizona.

For next season, the Buffs will not play Arizona State, West Virginia, Houston, TCU, BYU, or Iowa State.

CBS Sports analyst says Raiders should pursue Deion Sanders as next head coach

Coach Prime will be in high demand, except he doesn’t want to be in the NFL

With Mark Davis firing Josh McDaniels in a stunning overnight move, the Las Vegas Raiders look to rejuvenate the face of their franchise. Many have speculated as to which direction they’ll go in search of a new head coach, but a CBS analyst believes there’s one name that should be a target.

I’ll throw a name out there, ready? Prime Time,” Pete Prisco said on CBS Sports HQ. “How about Deion Sanders? He could be an NFL head coach. It’s not that complicated. It’s football. It really isn’t. Yes, manage men. Manage your staff. Allow your coaches to coach and be good in game situations. That’s a problem for a lot of coaches in this league.”

Sanders has said countless times he wants no part of the NFL. He talked earlier this season about how he enjoys being a mentor to his players and they’re “impressionable” for learning the game of football. Also, it’s not about chasing money for Coach Prime.

Prisco, like others, sees the ‘Prime Effect’ as being a monumental force and believes that it should move up into the NFL. The only problem is that the logic is flawed. Sanders is creating buzz for the sport at the right level, and it would diminish if he ever took a coaching job in the league. It would be nice to see Prime do his thing in Vegas, but his talents go deeper than trying to catch the attention of “made men” on Sundays.

The Raiders fired McDaniels after inking a deal worth roughly $60 million. That means he’ll receive a series of paydays over the next five years unless Davis wants to break out the checkbook with a lump sum. Former NFL linebacker Antonio Pierce takes over interim duties for the Raiders. The SoCal native looks to make an impact for the Sliver and Black midway through the season.
