Colorado Implements Strict Reporting Restrictions at Open Practice

In Deion Sanders's fourth season as head coach, the Colorado Buffaloes have introduced severe restrictions on media reporting during open practices.

According to an email sent to reporters, Colorado mandated that no observations from practice could be reported or shared in any format. Attendees, including fans and media, were required to hand over their phones. Violations of these rules could lead to removal from the facility and revocation of credentials.

While many college practices are typically closed to the public, the new guidelines raise concerns about how closely Colorado will monitor compliance and the potential consequences for reporters who may inadvertently share information from the open practice.
