A Colorado football player was seen ripping into the university after racking up an insane amount of parking tickets. He claims that most, if not all, of those violations have been posted outside the team’s locker room.
If this is a recurring theme amongst all players, it could cause an issue for Deion Sanders’ bunch.
Defensive back Cam’Ron Silmon-Craig posted a video to social media this week noting that he’s received more than 50 parking tickets since arriving on campus. He claims that those violations have resulted in more than $3,000 in fines with most tickets holding at least a $50 charge.
We’re just halfway through the fall semester…

“I’m getting booted right outside the facility, bro. These are all the tickets I’ve paid since I’ve been here,” Silmon-Craig says while showing the 50+ charges listed on his cell phone.
“They’re all $50, $60, or $75. Just think about how much I’ve paid.”
In all, he counted 52 tickets, which he tallied up to more than $3,100 in fines.
“I’ve done got 52 tickets for parking outside the locker room that I go to school to play at!.. I might as well have been a walk-on and paid tuition!”
Many say there needs to be a change around campus.
“I racked up so many tickets while in school because of the parking situation.”
“They need to speak to someone ASAP.”
“If a student attends a university, then parking should be free!!!”
“I understand no special treatment but c’mon now. What these players are making the university every weekend is deserving to get this fixed.”
Others were less sympathetic.
“Man, it’s so hard to walk these days. I guess walking is overrated.”
“Has he considered riding a bicycle like every other student?”
It appears that parking passes can be purchased for various lots on the school website, though the university “encourages alternate options for getting to and around campus.”
Academic year, fall and spring parking permits are valid 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in their assigned lot. Due to space constraints, you may only have one lot assigned at a time.
There are also temporary and off-peak hour parking options.
Still, it doesn’t seem to be the best situation in Boulder given the recent exposure the football team has landed the school.
