LAS VEGAS — The Colorado Buffaloes' move to the Big 12 Conference takes its next step as the conference held its 2024 Football Media Days on Wednesday.
The 2024 football season is Colorado's second under head coach Deion "Coach Prime" Sanders and the first in the program's return to the Big 12 Conference.
The Big 12 Conference football media event was held at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Buffaloes quarterback Shedeur Sanders and safety Shilo Sanders also attended Wednesday's media gathering.
Deion Sanders spoke to the media at 12 p.m. Mountain Time Wednesday.
The CU Buffs have sold out of season tickets for the 2024 football season. CU Athletics said football season tickets sold out for the second-straight season and the 10th time in CU history.
This is the second time CU has sold out of season tickets before August of an upcoming season. The first time was last year.
CU Athletics said that prior to last season, it had been 27 years since they last sold out of season tickets, doing so in a seven-year run from 1990-96. The only other time CU sold out of season tickets was the 1972 season.
For the second-straight year, the season ticket renewal rate finished above 98%, the best two marks in school history.
