On August 11, a deputy from the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office attempted to serve civil papers to Colorado head coach Deion Sanders at the University of Colorado campus. Sanders was unavailable at the time and could not receive the papers. The office informed that Sanders is being subpoenaed to testify in a bankruptcy trial involving his son, Shilo, which begins on August 31.
The Colorado athletic department provided no further information. The Buffaloes commence their season on September 3 against Georgia Tech. The deputy was on campus at 10:22 a.m. The civil papers were later served to Sanders' legal counsel in Denver, as they were not located in Boulder County. There were no reports of any university staff trying to obstruct the service.
The civil papers were not disclosed. Shilo Sanders is currently involved in litigation stemming from an incident with a security guard during his high school years. The guard filed a lawsuit against Sanders, who defaulted and was subsequently issued a default judgment. Sanders, a former player for his dad at Colorado, was waived by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last August.
