Deion Sanders subpoenaed for son's bankruptcy trial amid football season
Summary

The trial overlaps with the Colorado Buffaloes' football season opener against Georgia Tech on September 3. Shilo filed for bankruptcy in 2023 after incurring over $11 million in debt related to a personal injury lawsuit stemming from an incident involving a former security guard. The judge noted the potential conflict and the relevance of Deion's testimony regarding Shilo's actions at that time. An official record confirming the service of the subpoena has not been reported.
