Colorado football players reported the theft of jewelry and other valuables from the locker room at the Rose Bowl following their loss to UCLA on Saturday night, but coach Deion Sanders doesn’t want police to be the sole investigators.

In his weekly news conference on Tuesday, Sanders called on the NCAA to investigate and for the officials who oversee the iconic stadium in Pasadena, Calif., to see to it that the players are reimbursed. Police in Pasadena are investigating.

“NCAA, you do something about everything else,” Sanders said. “Do something about this one.”

Sanders said the Colorado program is putting together an accounting of all the items the players and staff said they lost. and when he has it together, the Rose Bowl itself could get the bill.

“All that stuff should be replaced,” Sanders said. “This is the Rose Bowl. It’s at the grandaddy off them all, right? I’m sure grandaddy has some money. Grandpa should have some money to give these kids. I’m gonna have a list made out for these kids, and I know they’re gonna be truthful about what they lost so we can try to get that back for them. They may not be able to get the items back but we should be able to reimburse.”

The NCAA has yet to comment on Sanders’ remarks.

The Buffaloes (4-4, 1-4) host No. 16 Oregon State (6-2, 3-2) on Saturday.

Sanders said that in the future, Colorado will provide security for the locker room, although he didn’t necessarily think before Saturday that the Rose Bowl would need such precautions.

“You’re in the Rose Bowl,” Sanders said. “Who robs the Rose Bowl? Somebody.”
