At Season Opener, Colorado Installs Depend-Branded Sideline Bathroom for Deion Sanders

The setup addresses bathroom needs that stem from bladder removal with intestinal reconstruction.

Overview

  • Colorado placed a black, privacy tent bathroom near the Buffaloes’ bench at Folsom Field for Friday’s game against Georgia Tech, a Colorado official confirmed.
  • The unit carries Depend branding tied to Sanders’ public partnership with the incontinence product maker.
  • Sanders underwent a May cystectomy with a neobladder created from his small intestine, and his doctor said last month he was cured of bladder cancer.
  • He has spoken openly about needing quicker restroom access, telling Michael Irvin in July that a sideline porta-potty might be necessary during long stretches of play.
  • The sponsorship-driven accommodation prompted commentary about the expanding commercialization of college athletics.
