A Look Back At Deion Sanders's HBCU Legacy At Jackson State

[@yeurgaming1914]

You can't deny that he increased the interest and exposure of HBCUs. Who cares if he didn't stay long, he did his job.

[@KeithEasley-qd9pb]

But he didn’t increase it because now it’s right back where they started in the background

[@yeurgaming1914]

@@KeithEasley-qd9pb Yea you don't pay attention to HBCU sports then. They still gave an HBCU a college gameday this year....

[@jayboogie4249]

You missed a few things: building a new practice field, getting jersey endorsement from under armor, donating his salary to the school, getting College GameDay to JSU, getting 2 players drafted to the NFL, generating millions of dollars for the school and the surrounding city.

Stealing from him…. I wouldn’t stay either. Tuitions cost just as much as other schools and the campuses are disgusting. The people in charge of HBCUs need to be held accountable for mismanagement of funds and their inability to provide scholarships for the most underprivileged students due to their own ineptitude. Sad he couldn’t stay and build something better but when the foundation is rotten, sometimes, you have to do what’s best for you and yours.

[@KeepItUpFam]

You mean Leadership because they're the ones who are Rotten but deion was paid every penny owed & Scholarships is not an issue. He left because deion wanted to upgrade the University to make an FBS Move & the Leadership weren't interested having plans of their own before he became the Head Coach. It was a conflict of interest which is why he's in Boulder now. Had he been a penny short he would of sued for litigation to be made whole on payments owed but never did. He has accountants who look over everything so there was nothing to go to court over. He made Millions & even got some of the Money that Walmart payed to go with the Turf Field that was Donated. To me as a True Jackson State Supporter he's still a Tiger for Life no matter where he is 😀

When the story comes out about what really happened to coach Prime.. it's going to be seen as the biggest fumble in sports history

[@KJ-tf3vi]

Can't wait for the story to come out on what he got away with at JSU. Yall talk alot with no receipts.

[@Shekenben]

It’s already the biggest story. JSU dropped the ball big time. Keep doing the same thing you get the same results. He could have brought HBCU’s to prominence. Instead the JEALOUS STEALING HATERS ran him out if town g by because he was EXPOSING their CORRUPTION!
