Deion Sanders Urged to Break NIL Bank to Fix One Major Problem at Colorado: “Can’t Go Cheap”

Colorado Buffaloes head coach Deion Sanders faces mounting pressure to address his team’s quarterback instability, which has derailed the offense despite a strong defensive roster. The Buffs’ struggles at the position began with starter Julian Lewis, who posted a dismal 168 passing yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in a 41–7 loss to Northwestern before being benched midway through a 75-yard, three-sack performance against Baylor.

Backup Isaac Wilson briefly offered hope with 156 yards and a touchdown in relief, but his first career start against Texas Tech ended in disaster—three interceptions, including a pick-six, sealed a 29–7 defeat. Analysts like Kevin Borba argue that Colorado’s NIL resources must prioritize a proven quarterback, as the program has repeatedly failed to find a reliable starter through transfers or development.

With Sanders yet to deliver a championship-caliber QB since Shedeur’s departure, the urgency to invest heavily in the position grows as the offense remains directionless.
