At just five years old, Cash Harris suffers from spina bifida, aka split spine, a birth defect where a baby’s spinal cord doesn’t develop fully. It’s a rare condition that occurs when the developing baby in the womb fails to develop or adequately close the spinal cord. Symptoms include weakness or lack of movement in the legs. Despite suffering from this unfortunate condition, Cash Harris is an undying sports fan, and his optimism toward life carries a powerful message that people should be thankful for underrated blessings such as being able to walk. As for Coach Prime, the focus is to prepare for the upcoming spring weekend in two days.

Let’s face it: Coach Prime thinks outside the box and yearns for innovation. The multi-day spring game event will showcase his innovative ability to concoct exciting plans where there will be a talent show, a CU football alumni reunion, and a Lil Wayne headlining concert aside from the Black and Gold spring game. 

The main event, the game, will kick off at 1 PM on April 27 and will feature varying prices: $5 for students, $15 for bowl seats, and $25 for Byron White East Club seats. Pac-12 Network will broadcast the game live. This will officially set Deion Sanders’ second run in Colorado as the HC.
