Shedeur Sanders Teams up With Coach Prime to Back 350 Colorado Student-Athletes Through NIL Collective

Colorado Buffaloes has been something new cooking for quite some time now. Recently, their quarterback sensation, Shedeur Sanders took to Instagram to reveal the secret and rally for his father, Coach Prime’s initiative. It seems that the Buffaloes have dedicated their energy and focus in favor of the student-athletes. 

Deion Sanders’ program has officially launched 5430 Alliance on Tuesday, March 26. The initiative has a special purpose that runs close to the Colorado family.  The newly created account of 5430 Alliance released its first post with Shedeur featured in the reel.

The Buffs’ quarterback son had some message to deliver as he continued, “Buff Nation introducing 5430 Alliance, Our collective for every team, every athlete and every fan and every member of our Buffs family. 5430 powers on to take things next level. But we can’t do it without you. This is just the beginning. Are you ready?”    

CU Athletics partnered with the Buffs4Life NIL collective through which the student-athletes who particularly play football are going to benefit. The Buffaloes program has as many as 350 athletes across all 11 sports programs. Amidst the rapidly changing world of NIL, the new 5430 Alliance will act as a shield by attracting contributions through membership.  

These memberships will cover any budget and will also explore the tax-deductible charitable option. The Buffs4Life NIL initiative was started at CU in October 2022 and exceptionally provided up to a sum of $4.3 million through various NIL opportunities to more than 200 student-athletes. This has been only possible due to Deion Sanders who sees NIL from a different light.  

Deion Sanders’ take on NIL

Despite the allure of the NIL deals, Deion Sanders ensured to shed light on the realities of this new era. Right from the beginning of his mentorship tenure with the Buffaloes, Coach Prime had made it clear that NIL is not a guaranteed cash cow for student-athletes. The Colorado HC claimed, “We’re not an ATM. That’s not going to happen here. If you come to Colorado to play football for me and the Colorado Buffaloes, it’s because you really want to play football and receive a wonderful education and all the business stuff will be handled on the back end if that’s the case.”

Deion Sanders ensured to recruit the talents whose main focus will be football while the program will be taking the responsibility of the student-athletes financially. Coach Prime kept his word, as his 5430 Alliance will be taking care of the large group of aspiring footballers. 

In an attempt to explore all sides of NIL, Deion Sanders has created exclusive programming for Colorado student-athletes and has welcomed to campus Meta, Instagram, TikTok, and Snapchat among others. Besides, the multifaceted NIL program will provide resources, education and opportunities to propel the athletes to reach their NIL potential.
