$45 million worth Deion Sanders & team go royal on a chartered Rolls-Royce plane for Colorado's Alamo Bowl showdown
The Colorado Buffaloes, led by coach Deion Sanders, made royal arrangements to travel to San Antonio, Texas, for the Alamo Bowl. The Buffaloes finished the season 9-3, narrowly missing a playoff spot after a 37-21 defeat to the Kansas Jayhawks. They ended the season ranked No. 23 in the playoff standings. Colorado will face the No. 17-ranked BYU Cougars in the Alamo Bowl on Saturday.
Sanders, who is worth $45 million (per Celebrity Net Worth), opted to book a chartered Rolls Royce plane to fly his players to San Antonio. The plane has the Buffaloes logo on the tail wing and Coach Prime's famous catchphrase "Believe" on the engine. The jet is owned and chartered by a group that works with the Arizona Cardinals.
The plane is a Boeing, but Rolls Royce makes their engines hence the Rolls Royce logo.

The BYU Cougars finished the season 10-2. They dropped two of their last three games against Kansas (17-13) and Arizona State (28-23).
Deion Sanders' Buffaloes bring a powerful roster featuring Shedeur Sanders and Travis Hunter. Shedeur, the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm winner, has racked up 3,926 yards and 35 touchdowns this season. Hunter, the Heisman winner, registered 14 scores.
Julian Lewis, the new five-star recruit who ranks No. 1 nationally, also traveled with the team. Sanders confirmed he would feature with the scout team in preparation for the bowl game.
