And if the class is online, shirts must be worn and there is no "walking around" while logged into virtual lectures.DEION SANDERS CALLS FOR UNIFORM CRACKDOWN IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL"If I see you in slides on campus, were going to have a problem," Sanders said in a video posted by his son, Deion Sanders Jr. "If I see you with a hoodie on in class, with headphones on in class, its going to be a problem. If I see you sitting in the back of the classroom, its going to be a problem."Sanders has long been one to preach how he is molding the lives of young men on and off the field, and accountability remains a key pillar of that plan as head coach.Some college football fans were questioning Sanders about the hoodie comment considering he was wearing one. But others interpreted him to mean wearing the hood on the players heads during class instead of letting it hang on their backs.Others are enjoying Sanders setting the precedent."Deion isnt just molding these players to be better football players," one X user wrote. "Hes molding them to be better men. Slides, hoodie w/ headphones just signals laziness. It signals that I am here for football only and going through the motions during class. Come ready on the field and life."Another user added: "The best coaches expect excellence in all aspects of life. Great coaches are a gift. Grateful for the ones I had."With this new dress code set, Sanders is hoping that discipline can ultimately lead to some on the field. The Buffaloes are hoping to improve on their 9-4 record from 2024, though Heisman winner Travis Hunter and Sanders son, quarterback Shedeur Sanders, are both in the NFL.Other key pieces from the 2024 class, including Jimmy Horn Jr., are also finding their way into the league.
