DEION SANDERS DOMINATES
In December 2022, Deion Sanders made headlines with a game-changing contract at Colorado. Fast forward to Saturday, and we're witnessing a sports revolution. Sanders' new team, which features 86 new players, including his sons Shedeur and Shilo, took home a big first win for Coach Prime over TCU. TCU played but lost in the National Championship game last year.
Colorado AD Rick George's faith in Sanders paid off despite initial budget concerns. Football season tickets sold out for the first time since '96, and Colorado's spring game drew over 550,000 viewers on ESPN. The result? A staggering $28M in donations surpasses 2022's $20.2M. The Sanders effect is undeniable.
