Deion Sanders clearly summarizes realignment: 'Everybody’s chasing the bag'
Deion Sanders has a way of summarizing things in a way that only he can. The Colorado coach puts it succinctly when he was asked about teams moving conferences.
Simply put, Coach Prime is only worried about winning, and the opponent doesn’t matter that much.
“We’re trying to win, man, I don’t care where we play. I don’t care which conference, who we’re playing against, we’re trying to win. All this is about money, you know that. Everybody’s chasing the bag,” he said. “Then you get mad at the players when they chase it. How is that? How do the grownups get mad at the players when they chase it, when the colleges are chasing it?”
Sanders doesn’t appear to be concerned with the history or rivalries in college football, as Oregon and Washington are reportedly headed to the B1G. Meanwhile Arizona, Arizona State and Utah are being discussed about a move to the Big 12, as an offer to Arizona has already been made, according to reports. All that came after Colorado recently announced a move to the Big 12.
That leaves the 108-year-old Pac-12 with an uncertain future, as in the last year, it has lost the likes of USC, UCLA, Colorado, Oregon and Washington.
