MONDAY THE BUFFS ARRIVED IN SAN ANTONIO TO BEGIN PREPARATIONS FOR THE ALAMO BOWL AGAINST BYU. SOON AFTER THE PLANE LANDED HEAD COACH DEION SANDERS AND ATHLETIC DIRECTOR RICK GEORGE SPOKE WITH THE MEDIA AND SHARED WHY TWO OF THE TOP PLAYERS IN THE COUNTRY WILL BE SUITING UP ON SATURDAY.

“We happen to have two players that are probably going to be the first two picks of the NFL Draft. I think we all know who those two are, and they have received, I think, the highest number of coverage that has ever been covered in college football.. That’s correct that far exceeds anyone has ever played this game of college football.

DISABILITY INSURANCE FOR TOP ATHLETES IS NOT A NEW INITIATIVE, BUT THE “HIGHEST COVERAGE EVER” IS WORTH TAKING NOTE OF. HEISMAN TROPHY WINNER TRAVIS HUNTER AND STAR QUARTERBACK SHADEUR SANDERS, DEION’S SON, WILL BE TOP FIVE NFL DRAFT PICKS IN APRIL AND NOW HAVE PIECE OF MIND THEIR FUTURE EARNINGS ARE PROTECTED WHILE THEY PLAY WITH THEIR BUFFALO TEAMMATES ONE LAST TIME. RICK GEORGE BELIEVES IT’S A BY-PRODUCT OF THE CULTURE SANDERS HAS BUILT.

“Let me just say one more thing, that it’s really him. It was his idea. He felt it was important for our student athletes, for all of them to play. He encouraged that. It’s a testament to him getting out there in front of his guys and saying, you know, we want you to play, and we did this because we want to make sure that these guys are covered. We’re excited about it. It’s going to be one heck of a game. ”
