Would Deion Sanders leaving Jackson State be a Prime Time letdown? .JarrettBell says leaving right now would be.
They need him more at Jackson State, and in a bigger picture, he can make a more purposeful impact with his footprint on HBCU culture – which has already been proven – than he can at Colorado or other schools that have expressed interest.
No, in one sense, Sanders doesn’t owe JSU or the HBCU universe anything else. He came with a noble cause and in short order made HBCU football as relevant as it has ever been. When he came, JSU hadn’t had a game televised on ESPN since 1989. Now, not only have several games been featured on national broadcasts, in October, ESPN brought its coveted “College GameDay” show to campus.
Before he began on the job, Sanders called Jackie Slater, one of the four JSU alums enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. As Sanders told me during the spring of 2021, he promised the former tackle that he would make him proud of the program. Done. “I’m neutral,” Slater told USA TODAY Sports. “If he decides to leave, it would be unfortunate for us. But he hasn’t tried to hide the fact that he would entertain any and all offers. It’s a personal decision.”
With his signature confidence, he also talked about “pushing barriers” and how listening to a voice in his head and spirit led him to take on the enormous challenge. “There’s a lot of revitalization that I would love to do,” he said. “I would love to get with a tremendous contractor and revitalize all of this around the school. One has to care that much about us here, and not try to escape it and seclude ourselves and discharge ourselves from the reality of life. We talk about pride. We’ve got to take care of our communities.
