In response to a question last month about his son’s ongoing bankruptcy case, Colorado football coach Deion Sanders made a request to the USA TODAY Sports reporter who asked him about it.
“I want you to do this for me,” the Pro Football Hall of Famer said then. “I want you to do your homework and do a whole investigation on that and then write that. I mean the whole complete investigation on what truly happened.”
USA TODAY Sports already had been doing that and previously published other reports about it and the incident that led to it in 2015. But in response to Sanders’ urging, USA TODAY Sports reexamined records and sought further information from officials who looked into the case involving his son, Shilo, who filed for bankruptcy last October with more than $11 million in debt.
As a result, USA TODAY Sports found that at least five agencies or institutions with access to witnesses and evidence in the 2015 case made conclusions about it – Dallas police, Shilo’s school, an insurance company, Texas child protective services and a civil court in Dallas.
What did those agencies and institutions conclude?
None of them favored Shilo Sanders, now a standout safety for his father at Colorado.
Four of those five official inquiries instead favored John Darjean, the school security guard who claimed he suffered permanent and severe spinal and nerve injuries after Shilo allegedly assaulted him in 2015, when Shilo was a 15-year-old ninth grader at FOCUS Academies in Dallas.
The other of those five investigations initially sided with Shilo but then obtained information that forced it to reverse its conclusion and instead ruled that fault was “unable to be determined.”
OPINION: Confrontational. Defensive. Unnecessary. Deion Sanders’ act is wearing thin.
