Hiring Deion Sanders as the school’s head football coach is already paying dividends for the University of Colorado.
The school announced on Thursday it had sold out its spring game on April 22, which will be televised on ESPN with a broadcast team of Chris Fowler, Robert Griffin III and Quint Kessinich. National champion Georgia is the only other team to have its spring game televised nationally, which can be seen on ESPN2.
The event has an expected attendance of 45,000 and will be the most-attended game in the university’s history. It’s also the first time the school will charge admission for the event ($10), which will draw a larger crowd than the Buffaloes’ last nine spring games combined. The previous attendance record for a CU spring game was 17,800 in 2008.
