Colorado's AD Admits They Don't Actually Have The Money To Pay Deion Sanders Yet

No

You have nothing better to say?

Well, NIL money doesnt come from the university so that's not an issue. I expect there will be at least some local businesses in Boulder that can pony up some money but I would bet that Denver is going to be the biggest hot spot for NIL money for them.

His biggest obstacle is that the admin is radical people who hate football.

Not really surprised that the athletic department doesn't technically have authorization yet to make payments on the contract but things like this have a lot of moving parts that require some accounting, new budgets, meetings with advertisers, sponsors and boosters. Moving funds around and getting proper authorization for salaries is a nightmare.

during? Shit, he saved this morsel until after the ink was dry for a reason. LOL

Ok CHAD from tigerdroppings… how many D1 coaching deals have you handled behind the scenes?

You just say no. You move on. If you're not willing to do that, you have little leverage. But why would any of these ADs do that if it's not their money?

Only a small portion of coaches salaries actually get paid by the school. The school is basically a middle man between advertisers, boosters, shoe companies and marketing deals. I remember reading somewhere that Saban only really gets paid like 250k from the school's general fund.
