The University of Colorado athletic department is screwed, and it's their own fault. A USA Today report reveals the tens of millions of dollars they are short, thanks to their impetus hiring of Deion Sanders, his scam to help his sons, and the wreck he's now made of a football program that few want to be involved in, and that means those key players. What happened at Colorado is the canary in the coal mine for college athletics in this new era, and other schools better learn their lessons.

They often claim to be the most hated sports franchise in America, maybe even the world. But recently, when Sonny Gray was traded from the Yankees to the Boston Red Sox, all Hell broke loose when he said it's "easy" to hate the Yankees. SACRILEGE, or maybe a badge of honor. Sure, the Yankees are still big and bad, but not as much as they use to be. Besides, the real hate for this franchise come from the last place you might expect.

Lane Kiffin isn't the first football coach to use another school as a bargaining chip, but he is the current master of the scam. He used the Florida Gators as long as he could in cutting the LSU deal, but he was never really serious about going to Gainesville. It brings up the ONE question Gators have to answer: Why did Kiffin choose LSU over UF? Sure wan't the money, but there has to be a reason why and the Gators need to fix it.
