Colorado players reported jewelry stolen from their locker room during Saturday's game at UCLA.
Following a 28-16 loss, Buffaloes players returned to the locker room to find thousands of dollars worth of jewelry missing. The Pasadena Police Department is investigating the alleged theft.
UCLA head coach Chip Kelly addressed the situation during Monday's press conference. He said he learned of the robbery right before speaking to reporters.
"That’s awful for anybody," Kelly said. "You would think when you go anywhere that your valuables are safe, but I don’t know anything more than I literally just found out one second ago before I walked out here."
UCLA released a statement Monday saying it will fully cooperate in the investigation.
"The UCLA athletic department confirmed that a report was filed to the Pasadena Police Department following the UCLA-Colorado football game regarding items that were reportedly missing from the Colorado locker room," the statement said. "UCLA is in communication with law enforcement, Rose Bowl Stadium officials, and the University of Colorado on the matter."
Well Off Media, run by Deion Sanders Jr., posted a video of Colorado players reacting to the theft. Several players lamented stolen chains and other missing items.
Darius Sanders also said on social media that the culprit stole his cash. Deion Sanders has yet to address the incident.
Colorado fell to 4-4 following Saturday's loss at the Rose Bowl. The Buffaloes will return to Folsom Field for back-to-back home games against Oregon State and Arizona.
