Deion Sanders reacts to criticism for leaving Jackson State, HBCU | Ep. 65 | CLUB SHAY SHAY

Shannon Sharpe and Deion Sanders discuss the criticism Sanders faced when he announced he was leaving HBCU, Jackson State University. When asked about his thoughts on the criticism Deion responded: “People are hurt and when people are hurt often times their first response isn’t the response that should be given. They say things out of emotion and anger, but I listen. Because when a person says stuff out of emotions and anger that’s how they really feel.”

I'm going to say HBCUs still need to be audited. I'm a HBCU aluminum from the SWAC and Coach Prime is not lying. I'll go a step further and say the kids that go to the school substantially undefended and also highly disrespected, and that part is by their own people. Lately, most of these questions are coming from people that didn't go to a HBCU or play collegiate sports.

Coach Prime is a class act! He's operates in ORDER and this is why he is so blessed. MOST importantly he keeps God FIRST! It's wonderful to see how many other men admire coach. Aside of coaching and instilling character and integrity in these young men, God is using him to be a role model to SOME other grown men by seeing how to LEAD. His purpose is so much bigger than coaching. God is using him in a variety of ways and it's not easy. The higher God takes us, the more heavy it is but he's locked in ....Coach Prime we honor you and give you your rose's 🌹

"Not that anyone is stealing," "7% of alumni giving back is the problem." Thank you for finally clearing up what was said on the podcast. You were speaking hypothetically when you talked about ticket sales and not about JSU. Also, no one was making 30k a year. To Prime's credit, JSU coaches became the highest paid in all of HBCUs. I wish him well.

[@lilcourtny08]

That isn't saying much, highest paid HBCU staff means nothing. It's still chump change to a power 5. Deion's Colorado contract is more than the entire staff of the football and basketball team

@lilcourtny08 well, he said it wasn't about the money 🤷🏾‍♂️

It kills me how one person is supposed to be the savior of something in our community but the moment they can’t save whatever on their own then they get hate for it. They forget all the positive things a person did and how that person pushed a movement forward. Prime pulled the ship a good bit forward by himself. He got other former NFL players to coach hbcu’s and brought a massive spotlight. It’s time for everyone else to keep it going. But most weren’t even attempting to push the movement along yet want to criticize
