LOL, remember when a "Full ride and a new car" were enough?
Sanders has quite a problem on his hands:
Bankruptcy.
More than $11 million in debt.
And now there are court proceedings that question his wealth and where he’s keeping it.
How did it even reach this point?
According to court filings by his attorney, it’s primarily because Sanders − son of Colorado coach Deion Sanders – didn’t show up for a civil trial in Texas in March 2022. But the case raises other questions about that, including why he didn’t have an attorney looking out for him back then and whether Sanders can use the bankruptcy court to erase that debt as desired.
In an effort to find some answers to that and more, USA TODAY Sports contacted bankruptcy law and civil procedure experts for their insight. Records obtained by USA TODAY Sports also show the Dallas County court in question had trouble finding where to send Shilo Sanders any notice of the trial that he missed, leading him to suffer a $12 million civil default judgment as a result, followed by his bankruptcy filing last October.
“There are parts of this story that make no sense to me,” University of Texas law professor Mechele Dickerson said.
