    Deion Sanders’s Colorado Buffaloes beat Texas Tech on Saturday, improving to 7–2 in 2024. This has been a good campaign for Sanders and Colorado after they faltered during his first year at the helm.

    After the game, USA Today reported Sanders received a $100,000 bonus, taking him up to $400,000 in bonuses for the season, and that he would receive an additional $100,000 for every win from this point on.

    Colorado is ranked 18th in the AP Top 25 Poll. It has games remaining against Utah, Kansas, and Oklahoma State, all of which are unranked.

    Sanders makes $5.7 million per year, 38th among all college football coaches. He has a maximum bonus of $2.45 million, tied for the ninth-highest potential amount.

    Georgia’s Kirby Smart is the highest-paid coach at a public school, at $13.28 million per year. Arizona’s Kenny Dillingham has the highest potential bonus, at $5.38 million.
