My son plays football at JSU. Of course we are disappointed that coach prime is leaving, but we should thank him for everything he has done for not only the football team but the school. He made sure the team was taking care of. My son had 3 meals a day from what the team provided. When the water issues happened, I wanted him to come home, but coach prime made sure those young men was taken care of by putting them up in a hotel. Coach prime went above and beyond what a coach would do for his team. What is so crazy is the so called fans are more mad than the players are. My son said the team is happy for him and the opportunity he has and of course they would want him to stay, but these young men know this is part of life. From this mother of a JSU freshman football player. Keep being great coach prime and thank you for everything you have done for my son and the other players on that team.
Any other comment is mute blessings sister.
God Bless You and Your Son!
This comment should go viral!!! It’s all that matters
This comment sums it up! Thank you
Well said. No one else opinion matters at this point
Just goes to show… You can NEVER do enough for neegas.
But real black folks know what gratitude and grace is. Salute to Deion Sanders, I hope he does well in Colorado.
😂😂😂neegas!
When a white coach does it y'all clowns complain, now you want to give the brotha a pass... make it make sense 🤣🤣🤣
facts ⛪️
@@goodymob9638when a white coach does what ?
His career, his choice. I wish him nothing but success.
I get that but he was the only one God gave that gift too. It's not his fault he does not even realize the bigger picture. Prime is about that bag and himself and family and helping others. However, he could have changed football across the world never mind an HBCU it was bigger than that. This man could have taken over football as we know it and crumble these PWIs but nope, we do what Willie Lynch taught us but it's not our fault. We're almost afraid to get Black Wall Streeted again. Smh our people will never trust one another. Also our kids will never trust a man of his stature again. It was time to go to a new HBCU, his work was done there. He does not realize he was capable of building an entire African American Football League. Deion is the man and that's all facts and his heart is big but he just did not understand the gift God gave him. There will be no more Coach Prime he was a 1 of a kind! I envision he would build at least 3 to 4 HBCU to make them competitive leaving behind a coach that was a former NFL player that shared Deions values. Then off to the next HBCU. 10 years from now D1 Football would not look the same and Colorado and all them PWIs knew it. We was on to something but it slipped out of our hands for 5 Milly a year!
@@TheThugNasty This is bigger than that my friend. In other cultures it's just that a job promotion. In this culture D1 schools have used us to no end. Hope that made sense.
If you had a kid recruited to Jackson State, I bet you'd feel differently. He lied to those kids, and I hope he fails at Colorado.... karma
@@TheThugNasty he turned on those kids, you just don't get the point. He didn't even stay long enough for his first class to graduate, everyone with common sense knows he was using that school. You're probably somebody still standing with Kanye.
💯💯
You hit the nail on the head...crab in the bucket mentality. Coach completely turned around the program as well as set these young men up for success. His 60 minutes interview is another great watch to see all that he did.
He did more for them then anyone did. He's a amazing coach and did extremely well for that school. People are so ungrateful and never wants to see anyone advance
I am a native Mississippian now living in Texas. My ex husband went to JSU back in 2002. It was awful. The students could barely get their financial aid timely and the administration was horrible then as well. Coach Prime did a fantastic job while in Jackson. I am saddened that people are not simply thankful for his selfless contributions.
Deion used JSU as a Come-up, he begged students who had their picks of great schools to come there, and then took his son and ran to a PWI. WOW!
Ok. It seems to me that people who are mad have never lived in Jackson or have been a migrant from Jackson.
I went to JSU from Texas in 2016. The campus is nice and that’s it. Hard stop. The corruption of the city, let alone the school is sickening. When I heard about Deion getting robbed last game I was not shocked at all.
My kids father is from Jackson, Clinton to be exact. When I told him I wasn’t raising my kids there he didn’t understand until we moved to Dallas in 2017. Now he hates to go back. It literally makes him sick how destitute it is in comparison to other places in the south.
Last time we went in 2018 we had popped a tire due to a pothole on Highway 80 going into Clinton. I can go on about why I will never set foot in Jackson again.
@@averychilco stop it don't act like JSU didn't get anything out of him being there. And all those kids he got to go there are probably going with him to Colorado.
@@JustSheaShea I have to go to Jackson 2 times a week from the Delta. We have worse streets here. Many don't know it is the Institutions of Higher Learning and our representatives who are to blame for the under funding of the HBCUs in MS. The state of MS has yet to pay the 28 million dollar settlement that was due over 40years ago from the Ayers lawsuit. The infrastructure problems and placing incompetent leadership are intentional.
The most ungrateful people on the planet!!! Ridiculous!!
I'm not a sports person. But I do recognize a hard working person that enjoyed his job with a passion.
That was so much more than football. He deserves a standing ovation.
I hope he didnt break any promises to recruits.
Yes he does!
You gonna kiss his feet too?
I totally agree with you! I am not a sports person either
@@14isoldenough He did most likely. It's a dirty business.
Thank you we need authentic people LIKE YOU to set records straight 🙏🏿
I was definitely one of the people that was upset with his decision, until I looked into the facts about everything he's done for the school and the students. Once I did that, my entire position on the situation changed. Shoutout Coach Prime, much success to him and his family.
Same
Same. After gathering all the info..shame on Jackson State. #SHAME
I heard he was putting his own money up
@@Ontiming2023 yep. Imagine using the money from your employers so you can properly do your job. Smh
@@dancing523 yeah JSU figuratively and quite literally dropped the ball.
I graduated from FAMU and what Deon Sanders did was awesome. He allowed HBCU and JSU to gain spotlight from the outside world bringing in millions of dollars with notoriety to the SWAC conference. Deon was only getting paid 300k with him taking half of his earnings to build up the football program. He did all he needed to do in those 2-3 years. Shoot if it was me I would have left the championship game in the first quarter calling a TO and telling my team Colorado offering me $5 million I'm out yall 😂😂😂😂.
As a FAMU graduate...I give shout to Coach Prime and JSU for going 12-0!! FAMU Coach Willie Simmons and his players went 9-2 for the season!! Go Rattlers!!
I’m noticing that the main people on black Twitter with the most to say, didn’t even go to an HBCU, and are even the types to mock those who did go. I go to and graduated from an HBCU, and I’m very happy for coach Prime.
💯 right!
@Brian Turner Most of the ones that attended an HBCU don't do anything for their alumni. Most people forget to look in the mirror.
@@jondoe406Facts
@@jondoe406 Jackson State is a Division 1 school
So because you didn’t go to a hbcu means you can’t have an opinion on the matter? 🤔
He did what he was supposed to have done with his time there. And now it's time for him to move on and do more great things like he did with Jackson State.
Was he conracted through this season? I have no issue with him leaving. People acting like jsu wasnt a stepping stone are delusional. Go listem to stepping stone by eminem. Its exactly what they were and good for those young men that he mentored
No one is obligated to stay at a job for a lifetime, celebrity or not. He came, did his job very well at JSU and decided to seek a higher salary at another university…what’s the problem?
He definitely left them in a better situation than he found them. He went above and beyond. He showed them the way, he couldn't walk it for them.His time was up. Congratulations Coach Prime! 🎊🎉
Thank You Coach for being a true servant, using your gifts and talents to pour into the students, their families, the school, community and the WORLD! You are a exemplary role model of growth, truly a humanitarian, sharing wisdom and knowledge of the skills you've acquired in your career of what TEAM means to see the VISION! You are doing Greater Works, keep letting your light SHINE! YOU ARE THE G.O.A.T. COACH PRIME 🙌🏽 GREATER BLESSINGS TO YOU ALWAYS, THANK YOU FOR LETTING GOD USE YOU IN SO MANY LIVES TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE ⚓💞💯
I’m so happy for Coach Prime! People be guilting Black Profesional Men to stay for the “community” meanwhile they reap benefits and don’t pay them forward. Well, greatness don’t come for free and after all Coach had to go through, I’ll say he waited waaay too long.
I don't understand the sabotage that occurs so frequently in the black community.
@@bigdaddyromeo9631 Long past time for some community introspection before it's too late. No other ethnicity does this.
@@jjbigfoot9077 facts unfortunately
@@goldteethpoohproductions2707 It can change for the better and the cool bit is It's not that difficult. It will only fester and grow if good people do nothing. As Denzel said "make way in your own house FIRST before you look elsewhere". If all you teach is victimhood and entitlement...guess what the end product will be. It's not rocket science.
From what I have heard they are upset, because that was his initial selling point. He sold a dream to the “communitah.” He was at this HBCU for 3 years, and you say that was too long? It is a little disappointing that too many folks believe success comes from being accepted by the so called yte folks. Why couldn’t he just have stayed at a HBCU or moved on to another HBCU if it was really about the game and empowering so called the youth.
JSU Alumna 👩🏽🎓 and I am glad he left. These people act like they never left a job for more money. Congratulations Deion Sanders.🎉 I am proud of you 👏🏾
@@jondoe406 I understand what you are saying…. At least he gave them 2 championships to be apart of and that’s on their football resume now as players so it’s like the players didn’t lose in the situation …
@@jondoe406 As it should be. So he shouldn't want to level up ? So you want him to remain stagnant. 🤔
@Jon Doe Sh#t i would have done the same thing if JDU was cheating me out of money 🤔 they not innocent . 300k he spending 100k on facilities upgrades and feeding the kids as well as football equipment and flights. Yeah that's not his responsibility. 1.5 billion in government funding was given to HSBCU schools where the money at ?

@@jondoe406 dont you think they will be part of the ones going to Colorado with him? You’re a crab in the bucket type of gal🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
You are absolutely correct. No matter how much money you send to HBCUs...it will never get handled correctly. I have taught at Morehouse and two local HBCUs; my cousin attended one in Texas...it's the same story everywhere. They run these schools like a black church where unqualified people want to be on the finance committee. You see how messed up the church leadership is with all of their corruption, likewise with HBCUs. They want the paraphernalia of power, but they do not have enough business or financial sense to actually wield power and influence to make a difference in students' lives.
Now that is a mouthful. And unfortunately most likely quite broadly speaking "true"!
Or character and integrity
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👌🏾👍🏿
Preachhhhh
Wow. And you felt good to even type that mess and state it. If that is a lack you saw and you felt so superior, then how come you didn’t start something to create and show them at your workplace how to be better. But that’s all some of us seem to do is talk ish about our own community, and then have the nerve to be mad when others outside look at at us sideways.
I ain’t gonna lie… it’s really hard to be pro black and push for REAL excellence in our community. It requires so much more commitment and energy do. People who haven’t tried to bring home ideas we may have been exposed to abroad into our community don’t realize that it is a LOT to deal with. We have so much division and you really have to really love us to keep up the energy. I know all about how it feels. I will always love my community and be black first but it’s still a LOT
How does this apply to the Coach Sanders story?
Thank you so much for breaking down everything Coach Prime did for JSU and what he brought to Jackson, MS. People kill me with all the negative things they're saying about him, instead of Thanking him.
Maybe he left because they kept robbing him and his players. Or it could be that murders have happened literally on campus. That might have something to do with it.
Facts.
You spoke nothing but the truth. Im a proud HBCU alum from the Grambling State University. I thank Coach Prime for placing a spotlight on us. My momma always said leave a place in better shape than you found it. And he did what..... THAT!
💛🖤❤️🐯
GramFAM
I was born and raised in Jackson, Mississippi. And as a Jackson State Alumni, I was so excited about the energy that Deon Sanders brought to my city and my school. So I am so sad that he is leaving. But if Colorado is paying him more money, I understand his decision to go.
It wasn't about the money, it was the treatment from the JSU President, city of Jackson Ms. Officials and SWAC leaders. It's terrible how they're keeping black students and communities in a permanent underclass status position.
I have a question for all of you complaining about Deion. Jay Hopson(a white man)was the head coach of Alcorn state for three years from 2012-2015, and won 3 SWAC titles. He took the program to heights it had never experienced, and made them arguably one of the greatest programs in SWAC HISTORY, and his mark there is still being felt, as Alcorn is currently the winningest HBCU football program in the United States right now since 2012, with the team now being coached by Fred McNair. He left Alcorn to go coach Hattisburgh Southern Miss, which was a winless FBS D-1, and nobody said anything. In fact, the people of Alcorn LOVE coach Hopson, and rightfully so, he was a great coach and a greater person, and left a lasting impact on that program and those that he coached. So by all your logic, did Hopson (again, a white guy) “use black culture”? Did he not fufill his promise and bring back a once dead program and sowed seeds that made it long lasting power house, just as Coach Prime did?
You spitting 🔥. You telling nothing but truth. Shout it out loud for the ones in the back!!!
Soft on White Hard on Black
@@markprince1141 Thanks bro, and it wasn’t just coach Hopson, there’s a lot of Caucasian people at these HBCU’s from the faculty, athletes/athletic department administrators, within these Divine 9 Black Greek fraternities and sororities(which is an even DEEPER conversation in itself) that are using HBCU’s as a platform for greater job opportunities and popularity, and those people don’t get called out for “using black people”, or “culture vultures”, or “fake pro black”, they get called a very different name….. they get called SMART.
Cant call them culture vultures John Harvard (white man ) founded the first university in America Harvard. Definitely cant call no white man a culture vulture for playing football Walter Camp another (white man ) founder of American football.
Thank you for being bold enough to speak truth about this 🙏 👏 I appreciate your insights
Well said. Coach prime also had 2 toes amputated, and lost part of his leg due to blood clots. Despite all that, he was still on the field, even with assistance with an electric wheelchair ♿️. Glad he left. Wished him the best. One more thing, how folks say he don't need da money. Maybe. But his assistants coaches did. I commend Coach prime.
Everything that was said is spot-on. He never promised the player or fan that he'll stay as long as they needed him. Ppl, he pretty much got a better job(like the one you'll take to better you and your loved ones). Also, with the number of ppl's that were stands attending the football, a lot of the funds were mismanaged and missing 🤨
Coach Prime was so great. Many of his players are expected to follow him to Colorado, including his #1 overall recruit. Expectations are that he will have a wild effect on recruitment because he is a legendary HOF player who has shown he can develop his players for the pros. I wouldn't be surprised if he is great at Colorado too.
he's not a HOF coach. He is in fact a HOF player and one of the best to play the game. I wish him nothing but the best but this is division 1 and a different animal. Prime is going to find out the hard way but I hope he makes it. But, he is not a HOF coach..yet
Also factor in the Transfer Portal, which has changed the landscape of college football. More schools have been seeing success because they're finding players who've developed and played in similar systems. Those coaches who have NFL experience is using it like free agency. With Coach Prime's star power and recruiting abilities, don't be surprised if Colorado is bowl eligible in his first season. He will be successful. I have no doubts about it.
He’s going to be a HOF coach eventually because he can flat out coach
I'm so proud and happy for him! He's poured so much into those young men and women as well as the school. He se the bar for them to continue to follow.
I’m from Mississippi myself. Attending Jackson State was the worst college experience I had in my life. My advisor got the audacity to tell me “I had to earn my scholarship” despite already meeting the requirements. You need a 3.0 GPA, but I had a 3.2 in Computer Science (which is one of the harder majors in the school). However, there were others GPAs were as low as 2.1 with a full scholarship.
I HAD to earn one being a transfer student, but other student didn’t because their mom is the department’s chair…these HBCUs are crooked.
tnstate grad. school and dorms is a absolute dump. and good luck getting anything business related done up there
@@Respect_Chairs damn
At first, I thought he was wrong, but as I hear more of the story--along with this video, I'm happy for him and his new venture. My hope (and it is a hope) is that the coaches remaining at Jackson State can maintain the standards that Prime has set.
And yes, I am all too familiar with HBCU's--being an alumna of one myself. They are seriously underfunded and misappropriation of funds is indeed a problem. I am guilty of not giving back, and while I don't have much, am seriously considering giving what I can to my alma mater (which is Lincoln University in PA BTW).
Excellent analysis sis. Keep it up!
Thank you for your honesty!
You are Correct where are the affluent HBCU alumnus They haven't given a dime to the football program, And have the nerve to be up in arms because he can do more Coaching at a D1 school..TFOH That's black folks problem right there in a nutshell...
He did MORE than ENOUGH for THAT school, and the OTHER hbcu in general!
@@SonicBoomC98 how DIDN'T he? Nobody was really interested in watching that type of football, and they DEFINITELY WASN'T getting that type of coverage on TV BEFORE he came to Jackson state! You didn't hear the part where in this commentary with deion Sanders spendin a whole bunch of his OWN money HIS team?? Or when his car got broken into, and people took expensive things out of it! He could have just left right AFTER that! This guy did a lot in 3 years, than OTHER people who was there for MANY MORE and STILL had the team in the toilet !!
@@SonicBoomC98Exactly what didn’t he do?
I wanted him to stay at first for my own selfish reasons. At the end of the day, he is a grown behind man and he can do what’s best for the interest of himself and his family. He planted a lot of seeds into these young men and women down there at Jackson State and we will be amazed by the fruits produced from those seeds. He’s a winner at all levels and those kids love him. Us black folks need to just stop it!! Support the man and pray for his success!!
Losers are the loudest complainers about winners. Congrats to Mr. Sanders.
The saying is true:
Over time, gratitude fades away quicker than bueaty does.
This man was hired to win football games for Jackson state. He did that and did it well. He did allot for jsu and for the city of Jackson. It's his life and his decision. He don't owe anybody anything. I'm very proud of what he did in the city. I wish him nothing but good fortune going forward. Thanks for all you did coach.
This is what's wrong with the black community. We rather put each other down than bring them up. Smh
He came in and uplifted their athletic program while bringing in revenue for the school and put Jackson, MS further than where they've ever been. He completed his obligation. The fact that people are booing him instead of wishing him well is an example of why some people are never deserving of what you do for them. Hate to see him leave the SWAC, but congratulations on your next step, Sir!
No good deed goes unpunished.
Great response…gave me chills! Thank you and yes…I honor Coach Prime and am grateful to him for all he’s done!!
This might be My favorite video of yours. Nothing but facts, and let me just add they wasn't just stealing from coach Prime but his son also had his car broken into. And on top of that they recently found a dead body near campus. And people actually expected him to just deal with all of that. Naw I would've left too.
Thank you for this!! They ain’t thinking about the local issues he went through and he still stayed after all those robberies
Watching the backlash made me happy he left ✊🏾✊🏾 let’s go Coach Prime
Im from Greenwood MS, I respect his decision
Thank you! Deion for pouring everything you had into a school that did'nt want to pay you what you was worth. God had a bigger plan & vision for you. Congratulations! I wish you the best of luck in Colorado.
You are the first YT person that actually researched!!!! You will do big things my girl!! I live 20 minutes from JSU and 15 minutes from his house in Canton and you executed this especially when you brought up the water issue in Jackson!!!!
It says a lot that sanders had to go out of pocket just to have the basics for the team. No way was he gonna do that forever. Why should anyone?
Same thing while I was a student at Norfolk State. It’s a black thing honestly and it’s shameful.
It’s just so refreshing meeting people that look and think like me!! You are so right
Some of our people think we should struggle with them! Hell they would’ve quit the first day they hit all the pot holes by the campus 😂
This man even stayed after burglary 2x and everything…..
@@bb3ll07folks will even get mad at you for being upset at getting robbed. As if you just lose all rights to dislike anything because you have money… tf?…
Crab in barrel mentality. Exactly. It's the same mentality I saw from middle school to my university(hbcu) and to the workplace. At this point I just ignore it. Those that are going to rock with you, will be with you. Those that won't, won't. If you have goals you want to achieve, surround yourself with those who'll support you and screw the rest.
This is the problem we have in the black community. They expect you to stay with & build them up from nothing with no support just because you’re black like they are. He brought light to the program & now he’s aiming higher. We should be grateful for all he’s contributed!! If they really wanted Coach Prime with them they would’ve gotten together & tried to match the offer to show they appreciate him & want him to stay but nope the Mercedes, Gucci, wigs are more important to give more money to for sure!!
And the fact that they forgot he won 2 CHAMPIONSHIPS! Not 1 but 2!!!!!
It is very rude for them to just downplay everything he’s done… at least he took the time of his life to actually do it!!
I am excited for Deion! Way to Go!
I read that the stadium would be packed and sold out (60,000) and on the books they'd document that only 28,000 attended. They are flat out criminals!
I said it as soon as he left JSTU they wanted him to coach for FREE. That is what is wrong with our cummunity we want our people to either do it for Free or at a discount, but other communites pay you what you are worth.smh
I graduated from a PWI (UCF) undergrad and HBCU (Texas Southern University) grad school and professional school, I have experienced both ends of the collegiate spectrum what Coach Prime did in 3 years for JSU is beyond amazing
Wow I had no idea he did all of that for JSU’s students/Football players. Looks like he set the blueprint for program going forward. They should have a farewell ceremony on his behalf, dedicate a statue, and continue marketing their team’s brand: EXCELLENCE
Everything you said is absolutely true! I want to add, people like Coach Prime need to be challenged, they feed off of it. He reached the pinnacle at JSU multiple times football wise. Now he is challenging himself to take a power 5 program that was 1 - 11 last year and hasn’t been relevant in over 2 decades and turn that program around. The ultimate goal, a National Championship at the highest level of college football. Anyone that says they would jump at that opportunity is lying or just plain lazy and lack drive to be better. It’s really sad to see people react the way they are and attacking Coach Primes character like that. He did nothing but give and now that he wants to take he’s the bad guy, smh get real people are so disrespectful and lack the mental capacity to think and see a situation clearly. Everyone that is mad about the decision Coach Prime made is only mad for selfish reasons. Pathetic
I was talking out watching this video saying "C'mon Pink Book, Preach!!!" A lot of what you said he did and the things that happened were news to me
🙏
He is a professional coach. Professionals move around in their careers. He has every right to manage his career. Good luck Brotha Coach Prime.
Big ups to Coach Prime and you!! No one else (media) has divulged any of the information that you have! The media has made it look like he left this school ass out he was selfishly thinking about his own career and $$$$. Great video!! I wish him nothing but continued success!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
The head cronies at JSU were ripping him off on a constant, while he was spending his own money on the team and giving most of his Coaching pay back to the facility. He was promised part of the ticket sales, since he's the reason they sold out games. They stiffed him. Us Black people treat eachother like dirt some times.
Sometimes?
"Crabs in a bucket" is the term that I was raised on about us.
@@msvida121 Not all of the time.
@@edub9716 not all of us, yet far too many for behaving this way lately. One love
Thank you pink book for chiming in and giving the true reason. I agree with you 100%
Imagine working at a job and donating your salary to improve working conditions so the other employees can simply do their job, and then people saying YOU were the selfish one for moving on 🙄
I knew when he exposed the stealing that they was doing that it wasn't going to be ling before he was gone. Packed out a 60k stadium but they only reported 28k seats sold
As a FAMU alum, I’ve seen Coach Prime stamp on HBCUs firsthand. Nobody was interested in going to the Orange Blossom Classic until he signed on to be JSU head coach. Selfishly I wanted him to stay and to be the head guy to keep pushing this HBCU initiative forward, but 5-6 million bucks is a lot to turn down. Maybe his exit could’ve been better, but nonetheless he’s good in my book. Best of luck to Coach in Colorado.
This is typical of our community! Disgusting! Folks are your best friend and singing your praises until you move on or cut them off from your resources…. It’s awful. God bless that man! I pray he has great success in his future endeavors.
Thank you sis!! It had to be said and thank you for doing so.
This was by far the BEST commentary I’ve heard on this topic!!! THANK YOU for being in TRUTH and REASONING!👍
Best of success, Coach Prime!
C/O 99 JSU. Thank You Coach Prime. He really put his all, to include his money, into the city and the university. Much love and respect.
Thank you for bringing up the positive impact Coach Prime brought to Jackson and Jackson State. If his move was about him; he would have went to the SEC or Big 10. Until people step up to help HBCU's, then don't complain about those who help and move forward.
Every leader has a journey and a purpose. Your purpose is not bound by others opinion. You want to be able to say that your purpose was fulfilled and it is finished. Along the way the support you need will be there. Mr. Sanders coming from a football player it's been a joy seeing your purpose being fulfilled. Thank you for all you have done and will do in the future. I for one represent that support.
You are preaching baby I agree. 100%
Thank you PBL! You and a few others are spot on with your reporting on Coach Prime. I am happy for Coach Prime and I celebrate his hard work, efforts, and contributions to JSU and HBCUs football.
This was great break down and Coach Prime deserve great success I wish him much more 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
He did exactly what every one of those detractors would’ve done. Prime brought in a LOT of something they ain’t had in a long time:
Eyes and Revenue.
From what I hear they'll appreciate him when he's gone. The expression "You don't know what you have until it's gone" comes to mind.
You are 10000% spot on. And nothing else to add!!
I wish Deion Sanders nothing but success. Pink Book your commentary is on point as always and thank you for the breakdown of this video keep up the good work.
You're spot on it! As a former HBCU student athlete (football) and 1997 grad at AAMU. The bus rides, hotels, recover/treatments, football fields and lock rooms when traveling were sometimes small/horrendous. Proud of my HBCUs no doubt but this topic was past due for change and a voice to stand up. Deion was that and still is that voice for change. I can't get mad at all because Jackson State U., was the ONLY school that accepted his challenge and brought him plus family in!! Love that King and black brother... I'll be rocking Colorado U. "Black n Gold" in support for Deion making history for 2023 - beyond!! Hope he make it to the NFL next. Thank you sister for bringing this topic to your channel.
Alabama State Alumni here..✊🏿✊🏿See you at Magic City..
@Terrence Williams I'm also a former HBCU student athlete (football and track), 1998 graduate of Morehouse. I played against you. Everything you just stated is wholeheartedly true. Even on my side of the ball. We went through the exact same stuff.
Dem Bulldogs!!!!
No matter what you do it will never be enough for these ungrateful hooligans. Makes me sick. They want you to help the "community" but look what happens when you actually do? It's not even worth it anymore.
I wish him well!! As an Alum I think The system needs to be updated, staff needs training in professionalism and how to treat people and run a business as of it was a business and more transparency on where funds go. I believe JSU with Alums and fans give back a tremendous amount of money, but can mysteriously disappear and no one says a word about it. One man can’t fix a system. He probably was tired and the problem was bigger than he thought. He made me proud to be apart of that school.
OMGoodness, you couldn't have explained better. I salute you!!!
Wow! I had no idea he was doing this but I love this and good luck to him.
Coach prime was a blessing to Jackson State 🙏🙏 I wish him the best and much success at Colorado
I’m happy for him. He signed a $30 million dollar contract. He wasn’t making money in Jackson. He was underfunded and built the program up. They just need to follow his lead
I am graduate and a former student athlete at Jackson State University! This subject is very layered and my experience was very different. Remember as a whole the African American community has a money mindset wound that hasn’t address.
Now I understand what's going on. I just stayed silent on this issue until I knew the story in full.
So glad to see videos like this putting some transparency on the situation and JSU….👊🏾
If all he did was teach pride in oneself, value of hard work, believe that you can then he did his job, he left them a lasting legacy. Salute to Coach Prime
What makes all of this even more funny is that the team isn’t even mad he’s leaving
They are happy to even be coached by this man!! They still have contact with him and everything ❤ plus his son Shilo stayed to be a drum major 👌
Thanks for sharing this video. Unfortunately there are people out there that try to push their narratives and won't wish him success in his future endeavors. Just like anyone out there coach Sanders ( Primetime ) is doing what's best for his career. The point of working is about moving up and making a better opportunity/life for yourself, right? No matter what race you are you should be showing support to those that are trying to uplift themselves instead of trying to hold them back. Heck, maybe they're jealous. Who knows? 🤔 Ran into your channel not too long ago, but definitely love your content. Keep up the great work. I'll be looking forward for more videos in the near future.
You are 💯 on point. We are so ungrateful and it's the reason we are still where we are as a culture.
I did not know he did all that and for them to boo him is just disgusting
I went to a HBCU and yes sometimes they cannot get the monies needed, I went to a private college. I paid all my tuition and never defaulted. I plan to donate monies back to my school as well. He did an amazing job and I believe enrollment went up historically for HBCU's this past year! He did what he came to do and now it is time for a NEW SEASON.... we all have seasons!
People talk like they would turn down a 16-fold increase in their salary.
Precisely! 👏👏👏
Coach Sanders is not wrong for leaving, but we also are not wrong for being disappointed, because he told us one thing and did another.
"Pink book" is so...so wise. Thank you.
🙏
Facts Queen, he should be an example for others to follow, rather than putting all the weight on his shoulders. Just remember, no one was thinking or caring about HBCU's until Deion Did...Kudos to "Primetime". Colorado will benefit from his work.
I'm from Mississippi. I live 20 minutes away from Jackson. Prime leaving isn't the right decision. He came, he saw, he conquered. The next thing is to take on the next level. Move up so someone else that's maybe trying to be a HBCU coach can move up. Prime did more than enough I wish him the same success he's had here in the SiPP; wherever he go and with whatever he's apart of.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! When Cynthia Cooper was at Prairie View A&M University, she put up with the same crap. Her assistant, Toyelle Wilson, left and went on to win a national championship as an Assistant Coach to Kim Mulkey and over BG at Baylor. I was in my feeling too until Coach Wilson asked the question, (paraphrased) "Shouldn't I be able to grow?!" Coach Prime has done it all, except as a Power 5 head coach. I hope he shines and HBCU's take the lessons learned from what he's exposed and move forward. Honestly, unlike the Kentucky HBCU President, Dr. Ruth Simmons is a perfect example of leveraging your connections to fund a state school, being blocked of it's rightful funding from the State of Texas, (Google the story). Our alumni and administrations really need to step up for our programs to thrive. I'll leave with this, as of now, Colorado has no money to pay Coach Prime, but the athletic director was confident their boosters will cover it! How confident can HBCU athletic directors be in their boosters to say something similar on live TV? If you don't want HBCU's to be doormats for collegiate coaches, you have to pay you people. Give them a reason to stay fam!
Thanks for shedding some light on this issue.
Always in your corner, thank you COACH PRIME.... LET'S GO!!!!🏈
All I want to say is thank you thank you and thank you for pointing out the obvious. He could not have done a better job. God bless coach Prime for everything he has done for the Jackson State Football Team , facilities and the HBCU swac. I will now continue watching Jackson State football and will also follow coach Prime with Colorado. I must add I only started watching Jackson State because of Coach Prime. I pray that God will continue to bless him in All that he puts his hand to.
Prime has shown how to use the HBCU “ladder” to help Black coaches break into the top ranks by being successful. Also, nobody knew where Jackson State was until Prime started coaching there. Now everybody does. Those kids in his program at JSU now have a real taste of success and can see how it is done. How can this not be a win for everyone? Deion is bringing the heat just like he did when he was in the NFL. Success, baby.
Also, this video is THE BEST on UT on the Prime “issue”. Congrats!
