Colorado head coach Deion Sanders believes college football should implement a salary cap to increase the sport’s competitiveness in its new era.
“I wish there was a cap,” Sanders said Wednesday at Big 12 media days, according to ESPN’s Adam Rittenberg. “The top-of-the-line player makes this, and if you’re not that type of guy, you know you’re not going to make that. That’s what the NFL does.
“The problem is, you got a guy that’s not that darn good, but he could go to another school, and they give him half a million dollars. You can’t compete with that. And it don’t make sense.”
Sanders backed his comments by noting that the schools spending more money on players will have more success in the College Football Playoff.
