The Colorado Buffaloes under coach Deion Sanders finished the regular season in style when they blew out the Oklahoma State Cowboys 52–0 in Week 14 at Folsom Field. The win wrapped up a 9-3 regular season record, with a slim chance of still competing for the Big 12 Championship Game depending on the other team's results.

On Saturday, Coach Prime's eldest son, Deion Sanders Jr. aka Bucky, hilariously tagged his siblings, Shilo, Shedeur and Deiondra Sanders, in an X post outlining the extra $100,000 bonus that was due to the coach for his Buffs record this season.

"Look y’all @ShedeurSanders @ShiloSanders @DeiondraSanders," Bucky tweeted.

According to USA Today Sports reporter Steve Berkowitz, Coach Prime's bonuses started rolling in ($300,000) after he won his sixth game and helped Colorado clinch its first bowl eligibility for the first time in eight years. Since then, every subsequent win has been accompanied by a $100,000 bonus totaling $600,000 after the win against the Cowboys.

Deion Sanders, who signed a five-year, $29.5 million contract when he was hired as the Colorado coach, could still earn an extra $75,000 bonus should the Buffs unlikely appear in the Big 12 Championship Game.

Deion Sanders plans to keep winning despite impressive season

Over the years, most college football players who intend to declare for the NFL draft usually opt out of playing in their team's bowl games with not much at stake in the games.

During his postgame news conference, Deion Sanders insisted that his departing stars, quarterback Shedeur Sanders and the Heisman-contending Travis Hunter, would play in the Buffs' bowl game despite Colorado's impressive season.

“Our kids are going to play in our bowl game because that’s what we signed up to do,” Coach Prime said. “We’re going to finish. We’re not going to tap out because that throws off the structure of next season. There’s a couple of teams, you take note, they lay an egg in the bowl game and they haven’t been the same. We don’t plan on doing that. We plan on going out and fighting just like we fought today.”

During his postgame news conference, the NFL-bound Shedeur Sanders backed up his father's assertions about playing in Colorado's bowl game.

According to USA Today, the projected bowl matchup for Deion Sanders and his Colorado team is the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio on Dec. 28. A New Year's Six bowl game would earn the Buffs coach a $450,000 bonus.
