It does seem like a strange fit. That was my first impression.
On the other hand, I could see it actually working out. He could go into California and recruit to Boulder off his name recognition while also trying to recruit the southeast.

.......but everything to do with him being a fraud on a personal level.
Deion Sanders' Charter School and the Making of a Prime Time Scam
On a Thursday evening in February, parents and kids piled into the pews of a barren brown-brick church on East Ann Arbor Avenue in Oak Cliff. This wasn't a religious service, but there would be preaching, and the adults in the room were focused intently on the man at the...www.dallasobserver.com
I hate that kind of stuff, borders on child abuse...but in college football that probably is a good indicator of winning potential.

They want him because they are desperate and hope that he can tap into the transfer market and bring in kids that like the flash that Deion will provide them. It will work in the short term, but long-term success will come down to how well he and his staff coach the players, unlike his last conference, he will not be able to out athlete the teams, but also have to out scheme them, and none of us have any clue as to if he can do that.
If they are willing to pay he will find competent help. Doesn't mean they will win big, but his personality is not going to do well in Boulder, IMO. They fancy themselves academic elites. Sanders was a great player but he is the ultimate loud mouth.
Yea, both FAU and USF were open. Go to the state of Florida, have some success, build your in-state recruiting pipeline and then take FSU or Miami when one of them opens. CU is a weird, weird choice. Not sure this is going to end well for him.
Colorado is certainly a higher profile program if Portnoy wants to keep buying recruits for him.
It's a very cool place to see a game and there was a time when it was a hornets' nest. Perhaps Deion can recreate that.
McCartney used the scenery to appeal to recruits and also picked Nebraska to go after. A problem is Colorado really doesn't have someone to pick on.
He isn't likeable. But neither are most college coaches.
Wasn’t there talk about his son being in Heisman talk at one time if he were eligible for it or something
views of mountains.... or views of Pollard's buffalo wild wings...... hhahahahaha. sorry
