Deion Sanders today has received a contract extension that will keep him leading the Buffs through the 2029 season. The extension comes with a raise in base salary for the upcoming season to $10 million that will make him the highest-paid coach in the Big 12 and one of the 10 highest-paid coaches in college football.
"I'm excited for the opportunity to continue building something special here at Colorado," Sanders said in a press release. "We've just scratched the surface of what this program can be. It's not just about football; it's about developing young men who are ready to take on the world. I'm committed to bringing greatness to this university, on and off the field. We've got work to do, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else but here, making history with these incredible players and this passionate fan base. Lastly, anybody got at least a five-bedroom home with acreage for sale?"
