Colorado head coach Deion Sanders may have revealed his current relationship while dealing with a medical emergency. On Monday, Sanders and his medical team held a press conference in which it was revealed that the Buffs’ head coach had a cancerous tumor removed from his bladder.
“We removed the tumor. It was very high-grade and invading through the bladder wall. Not into the muscle layer, something we call very high-risk, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer,” said Dr. Janet Kukreja with CU Cancer Center at the University of Colorado Hospital.

“Men, everybody, get checked out. Because if it wasn’t for me getting tested for something else, they wouldn’t have stumbled up on this,” said Sanders. “Make sure you get the right care because without wonderful people like this, I wouldn’t be sitting here today becaue it grew so expeditiously. But please get yourself checked.”
