- NCAA. Deion Sanders secretly records some Colorado players turning up during a timeout
The growing fame of the Colorado Buffaloes and their Coach Prime, Deion Sanders, is generating a number of unexpected moments, both on and off the field. On a recent team flight, Deion and his son Shedeur Sanders had an intense conversation about the juicy bonuses Deion has been racking up with every win.
It all started when Shedeur, in a joking tone but with some ring of truth, asked his father about the additional $100,000 he is rumored to receive for every win. "Where's my share?" threw Shedeur, between laughs, insinuating that his father should share in the financial success he also helps achieve on the field. Deion's response, in his trademark style, was an evasive "I don't know what you're talking about."
The episode generated buzz among Buffaloes fans, who saw the prank as a showcase of the unique father-son dynamic and the impact of a season that has exceeded expectations.
With the team moving into 18th place in the AP College Football Poll after beating Texas Tech 41-27, the Buffaloes are just three wins away from securing a spot in the new 12-team playoff format.
Deion knows this success will not only open doors for his players, including Shedeur and Travis Hunter, but could also raise the team's profile in the NCAA.
With each win, the pressure on the Buffaloes grows, but so do the rewards, and not just for Deion Sanders. This potential playoff berth not only boosts the team's profile, but also raises expectations for Shedeur, who, as a quarterback, has been key to Colorado's success.
For many, this father-son dynamic adds a special touch: while Deion leads the team from the sidelines with his iconic sunglasses and unstoppable energy, Shedeur is earning his own respect on the field, proving that he is not only "Coach Prime's son," but a rising star in the college soccer world.
Now, with bonuses on the line and the team one step away from the playoffs, the question remains: will Deion share those benefits with Shedeur and his teammates if they pull off a historic season?
