I AM DISAPPOINTED IN DEION SANDERS AKA PRIME TIME

At what point do black people make enough money and receive enough recognition when they decide to think of what is in the best interest of our people?
Deion Sanders didn’t need the money or the recognition. Deion Sanders’ net worth in 2022 is $40 million. He has made enough money to commit to assisting in turning the balance of power in favor of HBCUs.
Deion Sanders had the opportunity to be the stimulus that could have created a paradigm shift in how black and white people view HBCUs. If the best and brightest black athletes went to black colleges, our stadiums would be filled with white people like we fill their stadiums to watch our best and brightest athletes. I was elated at how his success at JSU could have inspired other NFL stars to go to the HBCUs and inspire black athletes to come to HBCUs.
Being a coach at Jackson State University positively impacted how top-tier black athletes saw Historical Black Colleges and Universities. It could have created an exodus of black athletes from predominantly white institutions who have made billions for the endowment off their talents.
They put the carrot on the stick, and he followed it right out the door. They ( the PWIs Athletic Collegiate Mafia) offered him the position to stop the possibility of losing the best and brightest black athletes. They will give him pennies while they earn dollars for their endowments. Only a few black stars are willing to think beyond themselves. Most are self-centered. Deion Sanders is just like the self-centered stars that came before him.
Because Deion Sanders coached at JSU, black college pride increased. HBCUs began to see an uptick in enrollment. Pride by black people to wear the paraphernalia of black colleges increased. We haven’t had this momentum since Different World and the Cosby Show. Unfortunately, so many can’t see the bigger picture. I can’t see that Deion Sanders’s success at JSU was a threat to PWIs. They couldn’t afford for the pride of going to an HBCU to become contagious.
We need champions that would inspire increased enrollment in HBCUs. Our institutions are suffering financially, and any momentum that generates interest will position them for financial stability. We live in a ME society. Get mine, and you get your mindset. If the best and brightest black athletes and entertainers don’t continue to strengthen the foundation on which we stand, we doom future generations to be victims of arrested development.
Deion Sanders used JSU to position himself in the Prime Time spotlight again. I GUESS THAT IS WHY HE IS CALLED PRIME TIME.
