Colorado head football coach Deion Sanders said Texas Tech counterpart Joey McGuire is aggressively deploying name-image-and-likeness funds this offseason, quipping, “Joey’s got some money—he’s spending that money.” Sanders, speaking to reporters on Wednesday, added that critics who once disapproved of heavy use of the transfer portal now appear unfazed when programs such as Texas Tech invest significant resources in player compensation. He jokingly asked McGuire to “send a few of those dollars” to Boulder, underscoring the escalating spending race across major-college athletics.
