I love that the professor threw in the "when he is here he is kind and respectful" before saying all the negative stuff as well.

[@seano.2693]

In college I worked at the football practice facility of a major power 5 school. Mind you going in I was a lifelong fan of this team, so I thought they could do no wrong. Oh boy how my opinion changed. After 2 years working in this facility I learned one thing, 80-90% of the athletes who walked through those doors felt like the entire campus should worship the ground they walked on. Therefore they acted as such, not paying attention in class, trashing their locker room, and showing no respect to me or my coworkers.. amongst other things. And that lack of accountability and discipline showed up on the field, as they failed to meet expectations year after year. So when I tell you I LOVE seeing this I mean it. Because too many of these college athletes are allowed to skate by without any consequence, and therefore learn nothing while in college. So props to coach Prime, he’s setting ALL of his players up for success.. whether they become professional football players, teachers, or doctors. Keep it up!

I've had group projects made way harder than they needed to be because I got a football or basketball player in my group.

[@baronvonslambert]

Which is a good reason why group projects should never be given and it should be mandated all class work should be individual. It's not even just because of athletes. Group work does not take into account the lives of the members of the group or the situations they find themselves in. For example, in middle and high school I had parents that would lets just say treat me badly if I inconvenienced them, and that treatment could last weeks or months for a single minor inconvenience. If ample class time wasn't given for projects and we were expected to do them outside of class, it was not in my best interest to participate, because picking me up after they got off work before I had a car was an inconvenience, and since I lived half an hour outside of town it was an inconveniece to the other kids parents to give me a ride home. When I did get a car of my own, I was working after school until 11pm or midnight nearly everyday to pay for it, making it almost impossible to find time to get together for projects.

[@KSmith-kp5jz]

⁠@@baronvonslambert Exactly. I understand the benefits of group work, but anything that requires students to meet out of class is begging for issues. I hated when teachers would casually be like “so you’ll have to meet outside of class with your group members.” Are you driving me, miss? I take the bus for a reason. My parents work during the day. So and so lives with his elderly gramma: she’s not driving anyone anywhere. Then you meet at your group partner’s house and you have to listen to his parents’ marital disputes. If you’re gonna mandate group work, at least have it be done in class.

Gotta hear the hard things to grow. Love this

[@terry2705]

That’s a great role model, father figure, coach, mentor, that’s a man you want to look up to. Keep on truckin coach prime!

[@kitkat5339]

This man has turned into a great coach. His emphasis on more than the game is great to hear.

[@wjperdue]

❤ Amen 🙏

[@kennethclaar922]

It’s hard to take the streets out of those kids . But he is a true leader maybe he can .

[@BARKER22-l4u]

True leader? Lol..He's a narcissistic clown, always looking for attention, just like in this video...

[@peterottes6900]

Now that is a true professional. I appreciate Coach Sanders. 👍

[@LCafran]

100% correct, coach! Coach Deion Sanders is what we need today, more than ever. 🤟🇺🇸

[@kennethnesbit8775]

Coach Prime matches the student to the classes. No doubt about it! Go Buffs. Crack the Whip.

[@leonardrivere7273]

Wow I mean just wow I hope other coaches see this

[@jackshepherd9843]

Amen coach Deion.

[@jasonstoutamire177]

I've been a fan of Deion since I was a kid growing up in Tallahassee watching him play at Doak. His haters don't understand him. At all. He has a huge heart, and his cockiness is always relegated to the sport. He is actually very humble when it comes to real life. In sport, on the field, there is nothing bigger than Deion. He commands the spotlight and then 9/10 times he delivers. But in life he recognizes that there is something much bigger than him. If I had a son I would be honored for him to play under Coach Prime.

[@NithinJune]

this is something you’d expect in high school note at the collegiate level

[@jamesfahey2036]

You’d be surprised…

[@anthonyvaldez4728]

Coach Prime is the best motivator I’ve ever seen.

[@carylee2002]

I read online a week ago that Coach Prime got this exact letter and his response was I'm going to take care of it. Im glad this video is up to teach every player and to coaches how to do it correctly. Wish more coaches will do the same on accountability. Go job Coach Prime.

[@jeffstarkey7726]

Deion is an absolute legend!

[@danielmelo7146]

Deion is damm right.

[@I.P.Freely2-yz1je]

Plus thousands of other coaches.😂😂😂😂

[@RyTrapp0]

Dern. He's dern right. Dern.

[@marcus813]

As a college graduate, I'm relieved that Prime is getting on his players who aren't paying attention in class. He'll make men out of them in no time.

[@jonr7364]

There's a certain irony in Sanders, a famously apathetic student who finished his final semester of college with a 0.0 GPA, now holding a position of power at a prestigious academic institution, but that's a topic for another day.

[@andynguyen8360]

​​@@jonr7364 The coach looks like he's at least 50, that would make his time in college at least 30 years ago. Do you really think people don't change over that amount of time? If he had just graduated and tried to put himself on the high horse, I would agree, but not in this case. Are you the same person you were 5 years ago? Or 10?

[@Johnsonluvsyomom]

​@@jonr7364He's making sure they don't make the same mistakes he did

[@budduggly7781]

Wow, I love this guy! What a ration of truth he delivered!

[@gijns]

What. A. Quality. COACH.

[@absolutetuber]

This is what I’ve always wanted to see from coaches. Inspiring kids to be great athletes AND great students/citizens of the community.
