Deion Sanders slams NCAA over Tyler Brown's eligibility denial: “It doesn’t make sense”

Deion Sanders is an outspoken coach who speaks his mind. He recently expressed his displeasure with the NCAA for denying eligibility to Tyler Brown for the 2023 season.

Tyler's trajectory to the Colorado Buffaloes matches partially with Sanders transitioning from JSU. This was his second transfer, as he initially started his journey with Louisiana. Sanders slammed the NCAA for objecting to Tyler Brown's recent transfers during a press conference on Tuesday.

“It doesn’t make sense. Some things just don’t make sense,” he said

Deion Sander disapproves of NCAA rules

The NCAA rules were altered this year, citing mental or physical ailment as a necessity for providing eligibility to two-time transfer players. Brown started with Louisiana, moving to Buffaloes via JSU.

However, Tyler reportedly suffers from mental health issues and provided evidence of the same. Sanders criticized the NCAA, saying,

"You say you really care about mental health, but when you have someone really dealing with mental health, there’s a problem. Then, ostracizing him and not allowing him to do what he’s blessed and gifted to do and the thing that brings him peace, that’s trying for a young man.”

Deion is often seen as a pillar of support for his young team and family both on and off the field. His son often shares snippets on Coach Prime's Instagram, promoting his strong opinions.
