Star quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter from Colorado have decided to play in the Alamo Bowl, receiving record insurance coverage to protect them from potential injuries. The exact amount of coverage was not disclosed due to privacy laws, but it was described as the largest in college football history by Coach Deion Sanders and Athletic Director Rick George. The entire Colorado roster also received increased disability coverage for the bowl game.
Sanders and Hunter, both expected to be top picks in the NFL draft, received larger policies than the rest of the team. Coach Sanders expressed gratitude towards the university for providing such extensive coverage, stating that it exceeds any coverage ever seen in college football. The decision to play in the Alamo Bowl instead of sitting out to prepare for the draft was influenced by the generous insurance policies put in place by Colorado.
The university’s commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of its players was praised by Coach Sanders and Athletic Director George. They believe that all bowl games should prioritize the health and protection of the athletes, and Colorado’s actions set a positive example for other programs. With this record insurance coverage in place, Sanders and Hunter will take the field in the Alamo Bowl with added peace of mind and financial security.
