Deion Sanders is my spirit animal and I've been in live with FSU since the first time I saw them in 1991. I thinkFSU made the biggest mistake in the history of that program by not hiring him. Had they hired Prime, the balance of power in the southern part of the country would have shifted back towards the Florida panhandle in a matter of 3 yrs. I'm happy they're in the place they're in but I do regret them not hiring Prime. Rich got this one right and he's not afraid of saying what the truth is.....

Deion is the reason I became a Noel’s fan, so I feel ya.

It was more about timing. If FSU were searching for a coach last year and had not gone through the Taggert disaster I could see Deion being an option. I hope he does well in Boulder, but he wasn’t the right pick in 2020!

While you don't have to graduate to be alumni (technically), I feel Deion's passion about giving Talladega College Tornado their props. I remember when Prime opted out of attending classes the spring of his Senior Year. I didn't see any signs that MLB or the NFL cared one bit. Florida State didn't seem to be bothered, as his eligibility was used up. He spoke on it back then at that young age. I can't wait until Colorado plays Florida State (hopefully that happens).

🤔 So, Coach Prime is an alumnus of Florida State, but he is not a graduate from FSU. Some people are saying that "he's still a 'Nole", even though he didn't finish school there. So, does that mean that every single student who transfers from one school to another is STILL a member of his/ her former school's identity? 'Cause if that's the standard for Coach Prime, then it's applicable to everyone who has ever left a school without graduating from there, and got/are getting a diploma/degree from a different institution, right?🤔

@@doctordef324 That's why I said he's an alumnus. It means he attended the school, not that he graduated from there. That still doesn't answer the questions I asked.

[@Tau1908]

The answer to your question is yes. According to most dictionaries (Cambridge, Oxford, Merriam-Webster), the definition of alumnus is someone who attended (even if the person didn't graduate) a college. So according to those dictionaries, Sanders is an alumnus of FSU and Talladega College, but he is only a graduate of Talladega College. (I retired from working at a university and that is also the definition we used.)

[@dastarr286]

If you transfer but not graduate you’re not a (insert school name) wherever you graduate from that’s what you are.

[@CoryFulcher-lb5il]

It’s a little different than a student just “transferring”. He was one of the greatest Noles of all time. When your Jersey is retired, you become quite literally immortalized by that program. So yes, you are kinda forever tied to that program. That doesn’t mean that a Nole is all he is or all he ever will be. But it will always be a part of him and he will always be a part of our program. To not acknowledge that is putting blinders on
