College football’s disruptor officially arrived over the weekend.<\/p>\n

It occurred sometime between telling his Jackson State team \u2014 filmed and then released on social media, of course \u2014 that he was leaving for Colorado and telling his Colorado team \u2014 filmed and then released on social media, of course \u2014 that they might want to transfer because each guy who leaves means \u201cthe more room you make.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deion Sanders has never been one to mince words or be shy about what he believes. the quiet parts aren’t just said out loud; they’re said with a preacher’s flair and blasted out for everyone to hear.<\/p>\n

As a sport tries to come to grips with unprecedented freedom for players to move via the open transfer portal, a man with zero FBS victories as a head coach is already seen as its most honest ambassador.<\/p>\n

Plenty of coaches are complaining about the portal, which some 2,500 players are expected to enter to at least seek supposed greener pastures. Other coaches are trying to make the most of it, willingly leaving room in recruiting classes to plug holes and turn over rosters.<\/p>\n

Then there is Coach Prime, who is unapologetic about it all. At Jackson State, he once declared, \u201cWe live in the portal. We got an apartment in the portal.\u201d Now that he is in the Pac-12, it’s more of the same. Get with the program or get out, the way he told his new team, which just finished a 1-11 season.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’m not going to lie: Some of you who are sitting in these seats aren’t going to have a seat,\u201d Sanders said. \u201c… So I want you all to get ready, to go jump in that portal and do what you are going to get.<\/p>\n

\u201c… Those of you we don’t run off, we’re going to try to make you quit \u2026 I want the ones who don’t want to quit, that want to be here, that want to work, that want to win, that are appreciative of everything they get here.<\/p>\n

\u201c… We got a few positions already taken care of,\u201d he told his new guys, \u201cbecause I’m bringing my luggage with me, and it’s Louis [Vuitton]\u201d<\/p>\n
