2 prediction markets price this story:

• Deion Sanders — the market puts it at 28%, with $0 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Feb 2027. The outcome is Yes if Deion Sanders leaves his role as head coach of the Colorado college football team or announces he will leave before February 1, 2027. Otherwise, the outcome is No. Readers often mistake a single game loss for leaving the job; only actual departure or an announcement counts.
• U.S. enacts Protect College Sports Act before 2027? — the market puts it at 25%, with $298 traded in the last 24 hours, closing 1 Jan 2027. The market resolves to "Yes" if the Protect College Sports Act or any qualifying bill becomes federal law by December 31, 2026, at 11:59 PM ET. A qualifying bill must establish nationwide standards for college athlete compensation and modify federal antitrust law regarding athletics. Readers often mistake the Senate passage date for the final deadline; only the enactment into law before the specified time counts.
