Deion Sanders, Colorado's Spring Game TV Schedule Set; Lil Wayne Expected to Perform

The Colorado Buffaloes, led by head coach Deion Sanders, will be playing a spring game that will be shown on the Pac-12 Network.

According to David Ubben of The Athletic, the game will take place on April 27 at 1 p.m. local time. Although the Buffaloes are set to join the Big 12 on July 1, they'll appear on the network of the conference they are currently a part of.

Rapper Lil Wayne is expected to perform at an event following the game, as he previously led the team onto the field before a matchup against Colorado State during the 2023 season (via Ubben).

Colorado's 2023 spring game aired on ESPN, although scheduling conflicts with coverage of the 2024 NFL draft resulted in a move to the Pac-12 Network. 47,277 fans showed up to see the first spring game under Sanders, marking the first time in program history that the contest was sold out (per the school's official website).

The 2024 spring game will likely draw another large crowd, as expectations will be heightened for the team. Although the Buffaloes finished with a 4-8 record in 2023, it represented a step up from the program's 1-11 finish in 2022.

Standout quarterback Shedeur Sanders will be returning after setting a school record with 3,230 passing yards, while Travis Hunter is also coming back after excelling as both a wide receiver and a cornerback in 2023.

While the Buffaloes haven't experienced much success in the 2024 recruiting cycle, they should still be better on the field due to the team compiling the No. 6 transfer class in the country (via 247Sports).

The spring game is shaping up to be more than just an on-field event, as the school is hosting a talent show on April 25 before a fundraising dinner is set to take place on April 26.
