Coach Prime Snubs EA Sports: Deion Sanders Says 'They Weren't Paying Enough' for College Football 27
Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders has a simple explanation for why he won't appear in EA Sports' upcoming College Football 27 video game: the money wasn't right. The Hall of Fame cornerback turned coach made the comments Tuesday at Big 12 Media Days, offering a blunt take that resonates with Iowa's values of fair compensation and personal accountability.
Sanders, one of the most recognizable figures in college football, joins a list of notable coaches who will not be featured in the game. That list includes Iowa's own Kirk Ferentz, along with North Carolina's Bill Belichick, Miami's Mario Cristobal, and Utah State's Bronco Mendenhall.
