Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders opened his press conference on Tuesday addressing the "main thing."
Local radio station 104.3 The Fan's reported that Sanders had asked the school's band not to play the fight song at Folsom Field after a score by Shedeur Sanders, so his son's theme music could run.
Colorado issued a statement on Monday denying the report.

"The fight songs ‘Glory, Glory, Colorado’ and ‘Fight CU’ have been played after CU touchdowns and field goals for years and were played every time the Buffaloes scored against North Dakota State earlier this season," the statement said.
"It’s common throughout college football for individual players to have small snippets of songs played during games."
Sanders doubled down on the school’s statement, calling for more accountability among reporters in his press conference.
"Whoever reported that I told the band not to play the fight song, that’s idiotic. Y’all know that. Like when you saw that, you know that was a lie. We got to start having some kind of accountability to this."
"I understand that this is a free and an open world and that everybody is not a journalist. Everybody’s not an analyst, everybody’s really hadn’t put in a lot of work to do what you all do."
