Verdict ruled on if Shedeur Sanders will be suspended for shoving a referee during win over Kansas

Shedeur Sanders won't be suspended for Colorado's Week 14 matchup with Oklahoma State at Folsom Field, as BuffZone's Brian Howell reports. Instead, Shedeur's shove of a referee during CU's 37-21 loss to Kansas will be handled internally.

"There were a few articles this weekend about Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders facing a possible suspension for shoving a ref Saturday vs. Kansas. There will be no suspension. Talked to a Big 12 source who told me that's being 'handled internally with CU,'" Howell tweeted.

As Howell relayed, there won't be any suspensions from the KU game.

"Had there been any suspensions, they likely would have been announced today, so doubt it," Howell wrote.

Shedeur's final regular season game was never truly in doubt. The Big 12 would've risked outrage from the Buffs' national fanbase and ESPN/Disney executives who would've been fuming that Colorado's cash-cow was absent.

Letting CU handle that internally was the best move the B12 could've made. Good on them for doing what should be seen as common sense in the NIL era.

Yes, that would mean Shedeur gets "superstar treatment." That shouldn't surprise anyone. Colorado was 3-0 in 2023 and hadn't proved anything but was ranked for having defeated a TCU team that looked nothing like the College Football Playoff National Championship runner-up from the season before. Now that they're good, the Buffs are going to get even bigger concessions from their conference and the public.

Shedeur now looks to get the Buffs to nine wins and an even higher profile bowl game for Ms. Peggy Coppom.
