What offer is CU giving to Deion Sanders?

The tweet on Saturday by ESPN’s Pete Thamel reads that while the deal with Deion Sanders isn’t finalized, the coach and his associates have been spending the entire week recruiting on-field and other support staff and transfer portal players to Colorado.

Sanders, currently heading Jackstone State, is expected to join the Colorado Buffaloes after the SWAC title match on Saturday.
