Deion Sanders declines to address health issues at Big 12 media days
COLLIN COUNTY, TEXAS, JUL 9 – Deion Sanders appeared at Big 12 Media Days for the first time since April, refusing to discuss his health while under contract through 2029 with a $54 million deal.
- Deion Sanders appeared in good health while speaking to reporters at the Big 12 football media event in Dallas, choosing to concentrate on discussing his team rather than his personal health.
- Sanders underwent two surgeries for blood clots in summer 2023 and lost 14 pounds due to an undisclosed health problem that kept him away from Colorado for months.
- Entering his third season as Colorado's coach without his sons on the roster, Sanders praised Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark and noted support from league coaches and Colorado staff.
- Sanders said, "I'm not here to talk about my health" and added, "God has truly blessed me," while athletic director Rick George confirmed Sanders is "in it for the long haul."
- This spring, Sanders secured a five-year contract extension worth $54 million, positioning him as the highest-earning coach in the Big 12, as he looks to build on last year’s 9-4 performance and guide his team to the conference championship game.
