Return plans for LeBron James, Jay Z, Matthew McConaughey, Lil Wayne and other stars are rumored to be in Boulder for Colorado’s game against USC on Saturday, while Deion Sanders only added fuel to the fire when asked about it.
“Gosh, I think half the NBA is going to be here,” Sanders said of Buffalo’s game against the No. 8 Trojans.
