Colorado Buffs finished their Saturday’s fixture with another loss. And while the entire team was dealing with the same, they had other problems too. The team was in complete shock as the players were bereft of their valuables including jewellery and money. Several players lost their possessions and reported the same to their HC. Sanders called out the NCAA to look deeper into the issue and conduct an investigation.

He gave out an official statement calling the robbery a ‘travesty‘, adding, “I would expect the NCAA to do something about that. These are college kids, I’m pretty sure they don’t think about insurance at this point in life.” He has also asked the NCAA to recompense the students for everything that was stolen from them.

Sanders didn’t hold back and aimed Rose Bowl for their behavior, saying This is the Rose Bowl, this is the granddaddy of them all? Well, Granddaddy has some money.

Do something about this one.” It’s safe to say that Sanders is pissed and rightly so since a mid-game robbery puts shame on the game.
