Deion Sanders tells EA Sports he stands on business

Coach Prime sent a message to the video game maker ahead of the release of 2025 College Football

Deion Sanders wanted EA Sports to know he's ready to hear an offer. The Colorado Buffaloes coach issued a short, but effective statement via Well Off Media on Tuesday. "EA Sports, we do business," Sanders said. There wasn't a follow up comment, which left many people to speculate if the video game giant reached out about wanting Coach Prime on the cover of 2025 College Football.  

Sanders is no stranger to EA Sports' lineup. He was added to Madden lineup last year as an NFL Draft advisor in Superstar mode.

EA Sports previously announced it would be offering 11,000 players around the country a $600 NIL bonus, along with a free copy of the final product before it hit shelves. Not everyone is thrilled about the highly-anticipated return with several players choosing to opt-out of the deal. However, there have reportedly been over 10K players to accept the offer as of the start of March.

Colorado's two-way star Travis Hunter became the first major name to be in the game. The Paul Hornung Award winner announced his intentions during the first wave of athletes to commit to EA's offer. He'll be rare as one of the only ones available for snaps on both sides of the ball. His player ranking should be one of the highest in the game.

Coach Prime and the Buffs will have an interesting lead up to the season. One of the "non-dead" periods featuring a new book from Sanders, a sneaker release, and new uniforms from Nike. Colorado will hold their annual Spring Game at Folsom Field on April 27. Tickets are expected to sell out and have yet to go on sale.
