Not everyone in college football is impressed with how Deion Sanders is building his roster at Colorado. 

Since Sanders took over as head coach of the Buffaloes, "Coach Prime" has overseen a massive roster overhaul as he attempts to build a winner in Boulder, Colorado.

Over 70 players have left the team since Sanders was hired in December, according to 247Sports. 

While some players left the program voluntarily, the NCAA stipulates that first-year head coaches may cut players from the roster, though the university must honor the players' scholarships. 

Pittsburgh head coach Pat Narduzzi does not like how Sanders is using the rule.

"That's not the way it's meant to be," Narduzzi told 247Sports last week at the ACC's spring meetings. "That's not what the rule intended to be. It was not to overhaul your roster. We'll see how it works out but that, to me, looks bad on college football coaches across the country. The reflection is on one guy right now but when you look at it overall – those kids that have moms and dads and brothers and sisters and goals in life – I don't know how many of those 70 that left really wanted to leave or they were kicked in the butt to get out."
