Deion’s millionaire sons are after his purse! Shedeur and Shilo are among the wealthiest college athletes to exist as per NIL valuations. While Shedeur is safe and sound with his net valuation of $4.7 million, Shilo recently declared bankruptcy after a 2016 lawsuit cornered him into such a decision. This might be the reason why Shilo instantly took to the comments when Deion Sanders was advertising the generous efforts made for the team’s players who have children of their own.
Shilo Sanders, the safety for the Colorado Buffaloes, hasn’t been able to match up to the success of his brother Shedeur Sanders on the field but was doing well for himself off the field. According to On3, Shilo’s NIL valuation stands at $1 million with brand partnerships with renowned companies like Google, EA Sports, and Starz. But ever since he decided to announce bankruptcy, his funds have been confiscated by authorities, and he will not be permitted to use substantial amounts of money for years to come. As such, it looks like he’s jokingly demanding money from his father on hearing he’s leading the scheme to provide funds for his players.

Deion Sanders is leading a great initiative within the locker room of the Colorado Buffaloes. In partnership with 5430 Alliance, the Colorado players who are currently fathers while also managing their football careers at the same time. Players like Chidozie Nwankwo will get over 2,000 dollars as a starting amount and the fund will just increase henceforth. While most of the comments under the post praised Deion greatly for taking care of his players so well, Shilo had different thoughts altogether.

Shilo took to his father’s comments section and wrote, “I’m still waiting on my trust fund” This comment has garnered over 900 likes and 100 replies, with most of them being filled with laughing emojis. Though Deion has yet to respond to his son’s hysterical response, this movement will revolutionize the futures of parents in the team who won’t be troubled by financial burdens anymore, taking the admiration for Deion to an all-time high yet again. Furthermore, Chidozie Nwankwo took to Instagram to share his endearing thoughts on Coach Prime for supporting him outside of the gridiron too.

What’s your perspective on:
Is Coach Prime's bank deal the game-changer CU Buffs needed to dominate college football?
Have an interesting take?
The 5 foot 11 inches, 290-pound Defensive Tackle will begin his journey with the Colorado Buffaloes this season after being with the Houston Texans for 3 seasons. Nwankwo is one of the most promising new players that Deion has signed this year and with him being the trust fund recipient now, the DT will count his lucky stars for letting him play under Deion Sanders.
The 21-year-old left his daughter back home in Houston to come play for the Buffs which had to be a really tough decision to make but as he’s said in the past, “Because at the end of the day, I’m making sure my life is secure and my daughter’s life is secure for when she gets older.” As such, when Deion helped in providing funds for his daughter’s future, Nwankwo had to take to Instagram to extend his heartfelt thanks to the coach. He reposted a story with Deion’s speech and captioned it with, “The reason I love my coach” With that being said, Nwankwo is one of the biggest weapons in Colorado’s arsenal and after blessing him so massively with this initiative, the DT might just run through entire teams to get Deion the victory he needs.
