When Colorado opens the college football regular season, it may do so without head coach Deion Sanders. The 59-year-old Sanders was reportedly subpoenaed to testify in court as part of his son Shilo's bankruptcy trial, according to USA Today.
That trial is expected to begin Aug. 31 and last roughly five days, potentially taking it through Sept. 4. Colorado opens its season against Georgia Tech on Sept. 3.
The judge presiding over the case, Judge Michael E. Romero, noted the potential conflict for Sanders during a pretrial conference attended by USA Today. Romero added that, due to the game, Sanders would likely fight the subpoena.
"I'm also concerned there's a game: CU's first game is that same week," Judge Romero said on the Zoom conference, which also was attended by USA TODAY Sports. "So I can see that coming. I am not a CU alum or I have no ties to CU. So I don't care. But I'm just recognizing that is a potential issue."
It's unclear whether Sanders has been served the subpoena yet. Romero merely noted that the subpoena had been issued.
