BOULDER — Don’t let the shades and flash fool you — Deion Sanders‘ Colorado’s out here handling business on and off the field. In a record-smashing spring, CU’s 342 student-athletes just posted a 3.264 GPA, the highest in school history. That boost pushed the Buffs’ all-time cumulative GPA to a new high of 3.294. Translation? They aren’t just running plays — they’re running classrooms too.
And three squads said, ‘Watch this’. The women’s ski team dropped a historic 3.825 GPA — the first 3.8 ever at CU. Tennis (3.761) and lacrosse (3.733) weren’t far behind. That’s six all-time team GPAs above 3.7 now, doubling CU’s record since 1996. But wait — there’s more heat…
The standard is the standard.

On May 30, Big 12 boss Brett Yormark announced a conference payout of $558 million, with Colorado’s slice clocking in at a clean $34.8 million. Even the football squad came correct — posting a 2.957, their best spring GPA ever and just a step behind that 3.011 from last fall. Still sittin’ pretty above a 3.0 overall. Prime Time’s pockets just got heavier, right as his players stack GPAs like trophies.
