Deion Sanders, NFL Hall of Famer, has more worth to him than just his words. The 56-year-old head coach of the Colorado Buffaloes has changed the trajectory of the team’s career in more ways than one. He led the team to three consecutive wins in his debut season, which speaks volumes about his expertise. He was able to shock the world of the NFL when the Buffs defeated the TCU Horned Frogs, the fan favorites, in his opening match of the season.
Coach Prime, as fans call him, has got to be one of America’s most inspirational athletes. He’s been able to conquer two sports in a single lifetime which is a monumental feat. He’s the only athlete who’s won the Super Bowl 2 times and played in MLB’s World Series. Thus, his fans had high hopes for him when he announced that he’d be taking up the role of the head coach for the Buffs. And much to everyone’s expectations, he hasn’t disappointed the fans yet.

Recently it was revealed how much revenue Colorado Buffaloes has been generating by the mere existence of Coach Prime. The numbers are staggering, to say the very least. After adding in the factors of ticket sales, merchandise, sponsorships, etc. the total revenue comes to around $90 million. That is a lot more money than Sanders’ 5-year contract which is valued at around $29.5 million. Hence, his contract can be rightfully termed as a “bargain.” He even went on to say, “You could argue he will be worth $1B+ to the university.”
