Deion Sanders Reveals the Hidden Motive Behind Turning the CU Cafeteria Into a “5-Star Restaurant”

Deion Sanders has a vision for the Colorado Buffaloes which has shown positive fallouts for both CU and Boulder. From newer CU courses like Prime Effect to $113 million economic inflow, Coach Prime has given the program a facelift. Following the Prime Effect, the CU Cafeteria was redesigned into a 5-star restaurant.

Popularly known as the Durrell Dining Center, the CU cafe has five different specialized restaurants. With a ‘life all happens here’ motto, the updated version offers services 7 days a week. Deion Sanders during his appearance on the ‘Million Dollaz Worth Of Game‘ podcast revealed two main reasons why the cafeteria was modified upon his arrival.

“The thing that concerned me the most when I was leaving to go to college…where I was going to lay my head and what I was going to eat,” said Sanders, adding, “We took care of those two!”

Deion Sanders’ parental instinct has caused a major shift at the Durrell Center, which now offers made-to-order breakfast, sushi, toasted sandwiches, entrees, and more. However, a better picture of Sanders’ efforts was painted by Wallace Peeples who named an array of sumptuous dishes available at the CU cafeteria.
