Colorado secured record-breaking insurance coverage for star quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter, allowing them to play in the Alamo Bowl instead of sitting out for the NFL draft.
Colorado secured what it said was record insurance coverage for quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter as the star duo opted to complete their college careers in the Alamo Bowl rather than sit out and prepare for the NFL draft. Colorado would not disclose the amount of insurance coverage each received, citing privacy laws. Coach Deion Sanders and athletic director Rick George both said it was the largest in college football history.
'We happen to have two players that are probably going to be the first two picks of the NFL draft,' Sanders said Monday. 'We all know who those two are and they have received, I think, the highest number of coverage that has ever been covered in college football. It far exceeds anyone that has ever played this game of college football.'While college programs maintain insurance policies for their athletes in case of injury, Colorado increased disability coverage for its entire roster in the Alamo Bowl. Sanders, the coach of the No. 20 Buffaloes, ensured his QB son and two-way star Hunter received larger policies since both are expected to be among the top 10 selections in the upcoming NFL draft.

'So, we worked together on that. We're excited about it. We think it's great that all our players are playing in the game. That's what all bowl games should be like.'
