So I don’t want hear shit from anyone about black schools not getting
attention or being under appreciated, when black individuals are the ones
who are not supporting their own institutions.

HBCUs in basketball play division 1 ball, so they have an opportunity to
play in the NCAA tournament. Deion talked all that crap about getting
HBCU football into the big bowl games and possibly even being elevated to
FBS. He said that was one of his MAIN goals. It was all bullshit.

Deion coached at JSU for only 2 seasons, and his presence created a lot
of progression and energy for HBCUs. Now imagine what would have been
accomplished had he stayed for 5-10 years…or stayed permanently.

The point was to turn the HBCU conference into a power conference
so that black coaches don’t have to jump ship to a power 5 conference….

Now a white university is going to USE Deion’s presence and image to make
billions and bring in top recruits… and HBCUs are going to fade back into
oblivion.

He sold, and it’s sad. He didn’t have to. He has millions already, and his offsprings
were going to get attention anyway because of their name….
