- NCAA. Deion Sanders puts NFL rumours to bed by g new deal with Colorado Buffaloes: How much will he earn?
Deion Sanders has turned the Colorado Buffaloes program around, and he's cashing in as a result of that.
On Friday, Coach Prime signed a five-year, $54 million contract that will keep him in Boulder through 2029. The cash hasn't gone unnoticed in the Sanders household, with Deion Sanders Jr. already casting his eyes on a potential cut.
Deion Jr took to X to point out how money his father will be getting thanks to his new contract. In of yearly average it's $10.8 million, which is $900,000 per month, $207,692 per week, and $29,589 per day.
From there, Coach Prime will earn $1,232, and every single second, $20 will drop into his pocket.
With that kind of income, it's no surprise Deion Jr is wondering when his father will "show [him] some love."
"I know my dawg gone show me some love.. he wouldn't just keep this all for himself," Deion Jr, who also goes by Bucky, tweeted.
Sanders has proven his worth at Colorado
Sanders took over the Buffaloes in 2023 after impressing at Jackson State. The year before his arrival, Colorado slumped to a 1-11 record.
However thanks to his arrival, along with son Shedeur and Travis Hunter, things have quickly turned around. Just last season Buffalo finished with a 9-4 record and played in the Alamo Bowl.
While both of those players are expected to be high picks in the NFL Draft, Sanders has opted to stick around in order to continue his work in Boulder. He'll have his work cut out for him as other key contributors like Jimmy Horn Jr., Shilo Sanders, LaJohntay Wester, BJ Green II, LaVonta Bentley are also departing, but clearly Sanders is confident he's the man to lead the way in Colorado.
His new contract puts him in elite company, with Georgia's Kirby Smart currently the highest paid coach as he earns $13.2 million a year. Following him are Ryan Day of Ohio State ($12.5 million) and Dabo Swinney of Clemson ($11.1 million).
