University of Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders has asked for leniency against four high schoolers who are accused of stealing from his team&#8217;s locker room during a game late last month.
Thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and other valuable items were <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/thousands-of-dollars-of-jewelry-stolen-from-colorado-football-players-during-ucla-game" target="_blank" rel="noopener">stolen</a> from the locker room as the team visited the Rose Bowl in Southern California to play the UCLA Bruins on October 28. The Denver Post <a href="https://www.denverpost.com/2023/11/14/deion-sanders-cu-buffs-rose-bowl-theft-suspects-forgiveness/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a> that at least five football players were victimized during the robbery.
“Let’s make sure those kids atone for what transpired, whether it’s community service or whatever it is, but they don’t lose the opportunities to change their lives,” Sanders told reporters on Tuesday. “They are kids. They made a stupid, dumb, idiotic mistake. When I was 17, 18, so did I. All right? So did you.”
He added, “Let’s pray for those kids and lift them up, and hopefully and prayerfully, they get another opportunity.”
The Pasadena Police Department, who were tipped off about the suspects, recovered the items during a subsequent search.
&#8220;Our detectives worked diligently to follow up on all leads, which resulted in the quick execution of search warrants,&#8221; the department said. &#8220;The investigation will be ongoing.&#8221;

It&#8217;s believed that some of the suspects played football at Beaumont High School, according to various <a href="https://www.buffzone.com/2023/11/14/4-beaumont-high-students-identified-as-suspects-in-rose-bowl-locker-room-thefts/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reports</a>.
&#8220;We are disappointed and disheartened to hear of the alleged involvement of Beaumont High School students in the incident at the UCLA-Colorado football game on October 28,&#8221; the district said in a statement. &#8220;We strive to promote strong character and integrity in our students, and the alleged actions do not represent our core values as a school, District, and community. While the students were not at the UCLA-Colorado football game as part of a school-sponsored event, the District is cooperating fully with Pasadena Police Department’s investigation.&#8221;

Colorado Buffaloes head coach <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/deion-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deion Sanders</a> wants the NCAA or the Rose Bowl to repay his players&#8217; thousands of dollars after the college athletes were robbed of jewelry, cash, and other valuable items during their game against the UCLA Bruins last weekend.
&#8220;Our kids got robbed during the game last week,&#8221; Sanders <a href="https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/38787831/deion-sanders-wants-colorado-players-reimbursed-robbery" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> reporters. &#8220;I think that&#8217;s a travesty. I would expect the NCAA to do something about that.&#8221;
The Buffaloes lost 28-16 to the then-No. 23 Bruins on Saturday at the Rose Bowl stadium in Los Angeles — approximately 26 miles northeast of the UCLA campus. Upon returning to their locker room, at least five players <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/thousands-of-dollars-of-jewelry-stolen-from-colorado-football-players-during-ucla-game" target="_blank" rel="noopener">discovered they were victims</a> of the alleged robbery.
&#8220;This is the Rose Bowl,&#8221; Sanders continued. &#8220;They said the Granddaddy of &#8217;em all, right? I&#8217;m sure Granddaddy had some money. Grandpa should have some money to give these kids.&#8221;
UCLA officials filed a report with the Pasadena Police Department on Monday detailing the items stolen from the Buffaloes&#8217; locker room at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles.
&#8220;The UCLA athletic department confirmed that a report was filed to the Pasadena Police Department following the UCLA-Colorado football game regarding items that were reportedly missing from the Colorado locker room,&#8221; UCLA said in a statement. &#8220;UCLA is in communication with law enforcement, Rose Bowl Stadium officials, and the University of Colorado on the matter.&#8221;
UCLA head coach Chip Kelly called the incident &#8220;awful for anybody.&#8221;
&#8220;You would think that when you go anywhere that your valuables are safe,&#8221; Kelly said.
A video posted to social media following the game showed several players lamenting about their stolen items.

Sanders reportedly said most of the players on his team never purchased insurance for the items that were stolen on Saturday.
&#8220;I&#8217;m going to have a list made out from these young men, and I know they&#8217;re going to be truthful about what they lost, so we can try and get it back for them,&#8221; Sanders said. &#8220;They may not be able to get the items back, but they should be able to reimburse them. That was unbelievable.&#8221;
&#8220;It don&#8217;t make no sense when you&#8217;re out there ballin&#8217; and playing your heart out, and you get robbed at the same [time],&#8221; he added. &#8220;I hope we can do something about that, NCAA. You do something about everything else. Do something about that.&#8221;
Between the stolen items and losing the last four out of five games, the Buffaloes have faced a streak of bad luck.
Sheduer Sanders, the starting quarterback for the Buffaloes and Dieon&#8217;s youngest son, took several hits during the last game after the Bruins&#8217; defense team sacked him seven times and slammed and knocked him down dozens of other times. The battering left Sanders needing an injection at halftime to keep playing.
His father and head coach said he would give Sheduer &#8220;another day or so&#8221; to heal before returning to the field.
&#8220;We want his best,&#8221; Sanders said. &#8220;He&#8217;s doing well, though, mentally, physically, as well as psychologically.&#8221;

Los Angeles (UCLA)

After a white-hot 3-0 start to the season, the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/deion-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">University of Colorado</a> got knocked back down to reality on Saturday in a 42-6 blowout to the Oregon Ducks in Eugene.
Head coach Deion Sanders, referred to as &#8220;Coach Prime,&#8221; had turned the school into the epicenter of all of football throughout the first several weeks of the college football season and into arguably the top story in all of sports.
The amount of attention that the program was receiving — combined with some of their top players flashing their financial successes in the faces of their opponents — provided a lot of motivation for the Ducks to want to come out and humiliate the Buffs.
Oregon Head Coach Dan Lanning said before the game that his team was “rooted in substance, not flash” and predicted that Colorado&#8217;s &#8220;Cinderella story&#8221; was over.
&#8220;The Cinderella story is over, men. They’re fighting for clicks, we’re fighting for wins,&#8221; he said in the locker room prior to the game. &#8220;There’s a difference. This game ain’t going to be played in Hollywood. It’s going to be played on the grass.&#8221;
The game did not take long to turn ugly as Oregon manhandled Colorado in the trenches on both sides of the ball. Early in the 2nd quarter with a two-touchdown lead, Oregon ran a well-executed fake punt on 4th down that seemed to be a pivotal moment in the game. By halftime, the score was 35-0.
Lanning, who has shown disdain for Colorado in the past, made clear as he was headed back to the sidelines that he wanted to humiliate Colorado, telling a reporter that he was &#8220;not satisfied&#8221; with the 35-0 lead.
Late in the 3rd quarter, Lanning had his team — already up 42-0 — go for it on 4th &amp; goal from the Colorado 5-yard line. They came up short. After the failed attempt, Oregon pulled back the reins a bit.

&#8220;First and foremost, I thank the Lord for allowing all this to transpire,&#8221; Sanders told the media after the game. &#8220;It&#8217;s a good old-fashioned butt-kicking. There&#8217;s no excuses, no nothing. Their coaches did a heck of a job preparing their team. Obviously we didn&#8217;t. That was good. I mean, that was a really good old-fashioned butt-kicking. We went into the game wanting to dominate several phases. We lost offensively, defensively, as well as special teams. That fake punt kind of kind of got them really rolling and they didn&#8217;t stop ever since they secured that first down. Well-coached team.&#8221;
Sanders later addressed Lanning&#8217;s remarks about &#8220;clicks.&#8221;
&#8220;I don&#8217;t say stuff just to say it for click on the contrary to what some may say,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I analyze and I understand what we&#8217;re up against and what we have and what we need. One thing that I can say, honestly and candidly, you gotta get me right now. This is the worst we&#8217;re gonna be. You better get me right now.&#8221;

General

Colorado Football Head Coach <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/deion-sanders" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deion Sanders</a>, commonly referred to as &#8220;Coach Prime,&#8221; has turned the school&#8217;s abysmal football program — which went 1-11 last year — into one of the most watched teams in all of college football this year.
The team&#8217;s most recent game — a 43-35 win in double OT on Saturday — drew a staggering 9.3 million viewers, making it the most-watched late-night college football game in the history of ESPN, the network <a href="https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/38439185/csu-colorado-draws-late-night-record-93m-viewers-espn" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. The game had a peak of 11.1 million viewers.
Despite the game not ending until 2:30 a.m. on Sunday morning, it was still &#8220;ESPN&#8217;s fifth-most-watched regular-season game ever on the network for any time slot,&#8221; the network said. &#8220;That broadcast window for ESPN college football averaged about 1.7 million viewers last year.&#8221;
&#8220;It also was the most-streamed regular-season college football game of all time for ESPN,&#8221; the network added.
In Week 1, Colorado beat national championship runner up TCU on the road in a game carried by Fox Sports, which was the most watched game of the day with 7.3 million viewers. It was Fox Sports&#8217; most-watched Week 1 “Big Noon Saturday” game ever and it was the network’s third-most-watched Big 12 regular-season college football game ever, according to <a href="https://theathletic.com/4838590/2023/09/06/colorado-tcu-college-football-viewership/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Athletic</a>.
Only Florida State vs. LSU had more viewers in Week 1 and that game was a standalone Sunday night game, allowing it to have more viewers before the NFL season kicked off.
In Week 2, Colorado thumped arch-rival Nebraska 36-14 on Fox Sports, bringing in an audience of 8.73 million viewers.
&#8220;It was the most-watched regular season Pac-12 game ever for Fox and the 10th most-watched regular season college football game ever for the network,&#8221; Yahoo Sports <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/espn-draws-88-million-viewers-for-alabama-texas-narrowly-beating-foxs-colorado-nebraska-broadcast-152444565.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.

Head Coach Deion Sanders led the Colorado Buffaloes in highly anticipated home debut

Coach Prime Turns Colorado Football Into A Ratings Juggernaut

<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/colorado" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Colorado</a> head football coach Deion Sanders, commonly referred to as &#8220;Coach Prime,&#8221; did not disappoint in his home opener at Folsom Field on Saturday when the No. 22 Colorado Buffaloes trounced their arch rival, the Nebraska Cornhuskers, 36-14.
Colorado played in front of a sold-out stadium at home for the first time in years as they squared off against Nebraska — a rivalry for over a century that has in the past determined which team played for championships.
Ticket prices for the game averaged $476 per ticket — an amount <a href="https://www.actionnetwork.com/ncaaf/nebraska-vs-colorado-ticket-prices-higher-than-any-nfl-game" target="_blank" rel="noopener">higher</a> than the average ticket price for the most expensive NFL game in week 1.
The game started off as a defensive match before repeated turnovers by a sloppy Cornhusker team proved to be too costly for the team to recover from against a superior Colorado team that was out of rhythm for much of the game.
Sanders had told his team that this game was &#8220;personal&#8221; and that they would not be allowed to wear red — Nebraska&#8217;s color — all week in the lead-up to the game.
&#8220;We didn&#8217;t just want to win, we wanted to dominate,&#8221; Sanders said. &#8220;The first half, we weren&#8217;t dominant, the second half, we got it together and we began to dominate. We wanted to really impose our will.&#8221;
Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders — a Heisman Trophy contender who is the son of the head coach — said that the motivation for the game was easy.
&#8220;It was extremely personal,&#8221; the younger Sanders said. &#8220;We go out there to warm up and you got the head coach for the other team (Matt Rhule) trying to stand in the middle of the Buff. It&#8217;s OK if a couple of players do it, it&#8217;s fine. Just enjoy the scenery, but when you&#8217;ve got a whole team trying to disrespect it, I&#8217;m not going for that at all, so I went in there and disrupted it.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
