... and set JSU for sustained success and as a result boost the SWAC. But that's only because he set his reasons for being at JSU as being a calling in some way.

I admit that my disappointment comes from personally not liking Deion's constant self-promotion in general and how he misrepresented his intent.

To me, he has an outsized sense of confidence which obviously served him well as an athlete and to reach the level of success he's attained. It's worked out since "it's not cocky if you back it up" and to his credit, he has.

But viewing him now as an adult, he seems obnoxious. So, I'm not fully detached here.

Maybe I'm upset that I got played when I should be mad for other reasons.
