Colorado's Deion Sanders weighs in on wagering as gambling scandal ripples through college football
Sanders said gambling threatens college football integrity and urged a salary cap, age limit and expanded playoff to address uneven NIL spending.
- Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby won a court order early last week restoring his eligibility after an NCAA betting ban, prompting Colorado coach Deion Sanders to call for a hard pass on wagering in college football.
- Sanders contends the game is positioned differently because Money now dominates the landscape, prompting him to advocate for structural reforms including age limits and expanding the College Football Playoff to 24 teams.
- To even the NIL playing field, Sanders suggests a salary cap and hiring a retired coach as commissioner like Nick Saban, noting teams spending $40 million versus $10 million creates unfair competition.
- Partnering with Depend for Men's Health Month, Sanders is encouraging regular checkups through video messages through June, a cause championed following his bladder cancer treatment last year.
- With Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter returning, the Buffaloes aim to improve after last season's struggles; Colorado faces Big rival Texas Tech on Oct. 3 during homecoming.
