The football team’s struggles have been a concern, particularly given CSU’s aspirations for athletic success. With a disappointing 5-7 record last season and a prolonged absence from bowl games, the pressure on head football coach Steve Norvell has intensified. “Beat Deion Sanders,” their most prominent rival, has been an ultimate goal that needs to be achieved without fail. As Norvell enters his third year at CSU, the departure of Parker adds another layer of uncertainty to the football program’s quest for improvement and success on the field.
