Deion to fine Colorado players $500 for being late to practice

"For the Colorado football team, there's a stiff price to pay for being late to practice: a $500 fine. Not showing up at all? That's a $2,500 fine. Coach Deion Sanders is cracking down on violations of team rules with heftier fines for his players. Fresh off a 3-9 season, Sanders unveiled his fine structure during his first meeting with the team last Friday."

""That's disrespectful," Sanders said in the video. "That would be like your lady that you have currently wearing her [ex-boyfriend's] stuff. How do you feel about that? She's sitting up there with a shirt on that had her [ex-boyfriend's] name. ... That's how I feel about that when I see you come into the cafeteria -- you eat our food with your last team on. Obviously, if you wanted to stay there, you should've stayed.""

Deion Sanders implemented a stringent fine structure for Colorado football players, assigning specific monetary penalties for tardiness, absences, and misconduct. Being late to practice carries a $500 fine and a no-show to practice triggers a $2,500 fine. Other penalties include $2,000 for missing a meeting or film session ($400 for being late), $1,500 for missing strength and conditioning, $1,000 for late treatment ($1,500 for a no-show), up to $2,500 for team-rule violations and up to $5,000 for public or social media misconduct. Fines apply strictly to team-rule violations and are separate from NIL and on-field performance. Profanity outside meetings and wearing former-team gear are banned to reinforce respect and team unity.
