A Colorado Buffaloes star, who’s coached by Deion Sanders, has the goal to build his own insurance company. However, the college football player’s company will need a $200,000 investment.
Buffaloes’ long-snapper Camden Dempsey put together a digital title insurance company, VerEstate Title. So, Coach Prime encouraged Dempsey to practice a business pitch in front of his teammates and coaches. The moment was posted by Sanders on his Well Off Media YouTube channel.
During the team meeting, Dempsey shared that his company would be presenting a pitch with the possibility to earn $200,000. Sanders then asked Dempsey a few questions before allowing him to practice his “elevator pitch.” “You’re pitching for $200,000?” Sanders said. “You’re doing the whole presentation? You want to practice it in front of your team? Give the intro, give me an intro. Come on, 200,000-dollar grant, let’s go. Giving you a good rehearsal.”
Dempsey then attempted to talk to his teammates and coaches about his business plan, but Sanders stopped him to offer a few presentation tips. “I like it, but … keep them with you. Don’t just stand in one spot — work the room,” Sanders told Dempsey. “Pick out three guys in the room, make eye contact with them and work the room.” Dempsey then used Sanders’ advice for his presentation, and the Colorado meeting room gave a round of applause for the 6-foot-2 player.
When Dempsey took his seat, Sanders gave him his flowers. “We just don’t want you to be professional football players, we want you to be professionals,” Sanders said. “And that is what this man is going to be — a professional. That’s why I believe in you, that’s why you’re the governor.” The finance major Dempsey will be a senior for the 2025 season. He didn’t appear in a game last campaign. His only game appearance came in 2023 on special teams on a field goal block in Week 10 of his sophomore season.
