Colorado Wins Season Opener Against North Dakota State

Former NCAA Athletes Can Now File Claims in $2.8 Billion Settlement

Former NCAA athletes are now eligible to file claims as part of the $2.8 billion settlement in the House v. NCAA case. The settlement compensates athletes who missed out on NIL revenue between 2016 and 2024. Power Five football and basketball players could receive up to $135,000 in back pay. The final approval is set for April 2025, with payouts starting in May. This historic decision reshapes the college sports landscape, ushering in a new era of athlete compensation and revenue sharing.

It wasn’t pretty at times, but Deion Sanders’ Colorado squad pulled out the Week 1 win last night against North Dakota State (31-26). And while the Buffs have plenty to work on, Thursday's hero of the game might just be the most exciting player in college football. Travis Hunter’s Heisman Trophy odds doubled — from +5000 to +2500 — in a matter of hours. The two-way junior played nearly 50 snaps on defense and 40 on offense while catching a Colorado-record 3 TDs. The last of Hunter’s three touchdown catches set social media on fire. That score put the Buffs up 31-20. QB Shedeur Sanders had a stat-stuffing night with four total TDs. Colorado’s talent is evident, but NDSU exposed some areas for improvement.
