The fact that Jackson state is getting main stream coverage like this is mind blowing the rest of hbcu’s really have to step their game up fr

[@UncleRuckusss]

Well that's a deeper problem dude. Black kids weren't allowed to play at huge universities and once they figured out they were better than whites they snatched them from HBCU's. Imagine if all the top black prospects went to HBCU's...what would the "top" universities look like lmao and would they be able to compete with HBCU's????

[@brysonbradford8622]

It’s deeper then that man. Yes, his good name has is a piece of the reason why they are getting coverage but still a lot more then that and even more work to be done

[@KenLuciano300]

@@UncleRuckusss I went to an hbcu and what I’ve seen is the hbcu’s don’t invest the money that they make back into the campuses to improve the quality of life why would people want to go there when they will live like they are in the projects at some of these schools I was at southern university living worse than some people in jail I didn’t even have hot showers available we were living in a building that wasn’t even approved for us to live in and ended up being shut down when I complained about how I was living they told me that I didn’t have to go there

[@KenLuciano300]

@@UncleRuckusss I know money is not a issue because we got millions donated to the engineering program and the band generates so much money you can’t tell me that money was being solely invested in those two programs

[@UncleRuckusss]

@@KenLuciano300 I understand that wholeheartedly my brother, and I agree. You must maintain a decent living environment for these kids especially ones who are leaving areas that are already like that. There are multiple ways HBCU's can improve but the stigma for top prospects needs to change as well

I give so much respect for 'PrimeTime' 'Neon' Deion Sanders! Proud to be a HBCU alum! I have been waiting for this to happen for years and I knew this could happen! The fact that he's doing this at any HBCU, ESPECIALLY in MISSISSIPPI! So many of our ADOS ancestors had to flee to be free from unfathomable levels of tyranny and oppression there. This hits differently. If you don't know or understand where I'm coming from kindly reference the Devils Punchbowl. My favorite player growing up is coaching at JState! With his two sons in tow?! Unbelievable story. 💯
