Deion Sanders is revitalizing more than the CU football program — the recent home game against Nebraska alone generated almost $18 million for the region. Some of that money could now be flowing back to the coach’s show. The Colorado Economic Development Commission has approved a $500,000 film incentive for the second season of “Coach Prime,” the TV show following Sanders’ experience as the coach of the CU football team.
