Shedeur, Shilo Sanders have cars booted by Colorado campus police
Evidently, touchdowns don’t earn parking spots. On Thursday, Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders discovered a boot on his lustrous black Rolls-Royce outside the university’s Champion Center.
Sanders isn’t alone in his battle with the school’s campus police. According to a report from “The New York Post,” eight players have had their cars towed. Players aren’t the only ones who are vulnerable to a ticket.
Earlier this season, Colorado head coach Deion Sanders‘ white Lamborghini was parked by a curb, but police saw a violation and gave him a ticket. It’s unclear why he received the violation. Shilo Sanders and two-way standout Travis Hunter have also claimed they have received violations for their parking.
The parking lot isn’t the only place the Buffaloes have had trouble recently. After winning its first three games this season, Colorado has lost five of its last six contests. Most recently, the team fell 26-19 to Oregon State.
The game was marred with inconsistency. QB1 Shedeur Sanders was limited to just 41 total yards in the first half, a far cry from his typically fantastic figures. Of course, it isn’t easy to toss touchdowns when you’re being swarmed by 300-pound defensive linemen.

This pressure has become commonplace for Sanders this season. Colorado has allowed 46 sacks this season, the second-most in the country. On Thursday, Deion Sanders praised his son’s ability to perform while under constant attack.
“Shedeur, I’ve seen him in every possible situation that he could possibly be in and I know how he’s affected,” Sanders said. “He’s hurting a little right now. He don’t even like needles, he don’t believe in them, but he had to get a shot. He had to get a shot to numb certain areas so he could play.
“You’ve got to understand, when you go to the next level a great quarterback is going to be drafted really high,” Sanders pointed out. “They’re probably going to be in the top five picks. What kind of line do you think they’re going to be playing behind? What kind of team you think they’re going to be playing with? That’s right.”
Perhaps the next time campus police waddle toward Shedeur Sanders’ vehicle with bad intentions, they will remember the price he paid on the field to purchase it. Shedeur will pay that price again this weekend.
On Saturday, Colorado will host the Arizona Wildcats at 2 p.m. ET. The game will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Network.
