Colorado football coach Deion Sanders has been awarded a contract extension through 2029, raising his annual salary to $10 million. This positions him as the highest-paid coach in the Big 12. His transformative leadership has revamped a previously struggling program into a competitive force in college football, leading the Buffaloes to a successful 9-4 season and a spot in the Alamo Bowl. The extension reflects not only his on-field accomplishments but his broader impact on the program's reputation and ambitions for future championships.
Coach Prime has revolutionized college football and in doing so, has restored CU football to our rightful place as a national power, athletic director Rick George said.
This extension not only recognizes Coach's incredible accomplishments transforming our program on and off the field, it keeps him in Boulder to compete for conference and national championships.
After turning around a downtrodden program in just two seasons, the school has extended Sanders' contract through the 2029 season.
With a yearly base salary increase to $10m, Sanders is now the highest-paid football coach in the Big 12.
