Deion Sanders says he had bladder cancer but will coach the Colorado Buffaloes this season
BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Colorado coach Deion Sanders disclosed Monday that he was diagnosed with an aggressive form of bladder cancer but after surgery his oncologist considered him cured. Dr. Janet Kukreja, the director of urologic oncology at the CU Cancer Center/UCHealth University of Colorado hospital, said Sanders had his bladder removed as part of the surgical plan. Sanders plans to oversee the Buffaloes this season as he enters his third season at Colorado. Sanders, who turns 58 next month, spoke to the media on the eve of fall camp. He brought his medical team with him to discuss his diagnosis. The charismatic coach returned to campus last week and announced on social media, 'Back and Feeling Great!' He's missed football camps in Boulder this summer amid reports that he's been ill. On Sunday, the production crew of 'Well Off Media,' which chronicles Sanders and the Buffaloes, posted a video on YouTube of the coach's first meeting with the team. In the middle of the clip, there was a scene, dated May 9, where Sanders said: 'I don't know if I'm ready mentally, emotionally. Last night was tough, yesterday was tough, because I had to make a will. That's not easy at all, to think that you may not be here.' Sanders has dealt with issues surrounding his left foot since having two toes amputated in 2021 because of blood clot issues while he was coaching at Jackson State. He missed media day in 2023, his inaugural year at Colorado, after a procedure to remove a blood clot from his right leg and another to straighten toes on his left foot. In March, Sanders signed a contract extension through the 2029 season. The Buffaloes kick off the season on Aug. 29 against Georgia Tech at Folsom Field. It will be the first season in quite some time that he hasn't coached one of his sons. Quarterback Shedeur Sanders was drafted by the Cleveland Browns while Shilo, a safety, is in camp with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Deion Sanders and the Buffaloes went 4-8 in his first season and 9-4 last season, with an appearance in the Alamo Bowl. They have big shoes to fill in replacing Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner Travis Hunter. ___ AP college football: and

Motherwell 3, Morton 0: Well boss pleased to reach last-16 in cup
A first goal in seven months for Aussie striker Apostolos Stamatelopoulos inspired a Motherwell win that puts them into the last 16. The 26-year-old's strike in 52 minutes put the Steelmen on their way to victory, with Tawanda Maswanhise's double making sure of a win that takes Jens Berthel Askou's outfit into the knockouts as Group G victors on 11 points. Stamatelopoulos' strike was his first since a 2-2 draw against Rangers on December 29, having endured months of an injury nightmare. For Maswanhise, it was his fourth in the competition. Askou – who denied midfielder Lennon Miller is in Italy for talks – said: 'When there's something concrete to comment on, we will. 'The goal was to get to the next round. 'We're pleased to finish with the strongest performance in the group stage. Tawanda has the potential to be a very important player for us. READ MORE: Motherwell goal hero will know it's time to pack it in when he loses buzz for the game READ MORE: Motherwell boss: 'Our cup fate was always in our own hands, despite sticky start' 'Apostolos' first goal in seven months... I don't care and I don't think he cares how it came.' Well had a penalty claim waved away in six minutes when Stamatelopoulos went down under a Kris Moore challenge and they dominated throughout. As if often the case, Morton nearly took the lead in the 31st minute when Tomi Adeloye fired just over. Six minutes later, Adeloye sent himself through with a neat flick and went down under a challenge from Paul McGinn but ref Ryan Lee was not interested. Morton boss Dougie Imrie was booked for protesting. Well went ahead seven minutes after the break, when Emmanuel Longelo's cross from the left was met on the volley by Johnny Koutroumbis and parried by James Storer, but Stamatelopoulos bundled the rebound over. Come 83 minutes, Liam Gordon sent Maswanhise through to curl past Storer. And he bagged his second with a curling finish into the top right corner from 25 yards out, three minutes into stoppage time.
