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

The visible setup advances Sanders’ effort to normalize bladder health following a curative cystectomy and neobladder reconstruction.

Overview

  • A Colorado official confirmed the black privacy tent by the Buffaloes’ bench at Folsom Field was designated for Sanders’ use during the Aug. 29 game against Georgia Tech and was sponsored by Depend.
  • Sanders underwent bladder removal in May with a neobladder fashioned from his intestine, a smaller reservoir that requires more frequent urination.
  • Declared cancer-free by his medical team in July, Sanders returned to the sideline for the opener, said he felt good during the game, and Colorado lost 27-20.
  • The Depend-branded accommodation followed Sanders’ public “no shame” posts about incontinence and screenings, with the company responding in support.
  • This is Sanders’ third season at Colorado and his first without sons Shedeur and Shilo, as transfer quarterback Kaidon Salter made his debut.
