Coach Prime has hilarious reaction to sons Shedeur & Bucky peeping into his $100k bonus report
Colorado Buffaloes coach Deion Sanders pocketed $100,000 as a bonus for the team’s 41-27 victory against the Texas Tech Red Raiders on Saturday. Steve Berkowitz of USA Today first reported that Sanders has earned $400,000 in bonuses so far. Coach Prime reacted with humor in a Bleacher Report video when his sons expressed curiosity about his earnings.
Sanders agreed to several seasonal bonuses before signing his five-year, $29.5 million contract with Colorado.
In a video originally posted on his Instagram handle and later shared by Bleacher Report, Deion Sanders consults his phone as Shedeur asks if he earns $100,000 per win.
"I heard you get like extra $100,000 per win. Where mine at?" Shedeur Sanders asked.
“It’s all over Twitter,” Deion Sanders Jr. said.
Then Shilo Sanders asked his father:
“Hey, why don’t you buy a pickleball court?”
Coach Prime himself commented on the report by Bleacher Report, saying:
“My kids are hilarious.”
Thanks to a performance-based contract for Sanders, according to BetMGM, he is eligible for an extra $100,000 per victory this season. The Buffaloes' win over the Texas Tech Red Raiders was their third consecutive victory.

The victory over Texas Tech is also the Buffalo's 6th win in seven games, bringing their season-wise win record to 7-2. They face Utah, Kansas and Oklahoma State in the final three games of the regular season. More importantly, the Colorado Buffaloes are bowl-eligible for the first time in four years. This is a considerable improvement over last season’s 4-8 record.
After winning the 6th game of the season, Coach Prime received a bonus of $150,000, according to BetMGM.
Some more incentives from Sanders’ contract are:
- Sanders gets $150,000 if Colorado wins the Big 12
- Sanders gets $150,000 if he wins the National Coach of the Year.
- Sanders gets $75,000 if he wins the Big 12 Coach of the Year.
