And that young man's life will be forever changed bc he couldn't show constraint. He'd have done better to throw coffee at the guy. So much for going high when they go low.
If JSU players can stay focused on this SWAC Championship Game under all the speculation about their coach leaving, it will speak volumes to their commitment to each other and the goal they set at the beginning of the year.
VERY surprised JSU AD Ashley Robinson is allowing Coach Prime to coach the team in the Celebration Bowl. I have to do some research on the win pct of schools that have allowed their coaches to coach one final game in similar situations.
The void of

players through nearly 200 players is WORST than the COVID year of 2020 & 2021! Thankfully, players have choices with the XFL and USFL.
But, when the NFL comes around talking abt they care abt HBCU players, someone shd ask, "Do Owners/GMs?"

A) FCS did NOT cancel fall football. 5 of 13 conferences have postponed or suspended their season.
B) this is an elitist-P5 take. SHAME on you David. It's selfish AF! Why wld you want to take opportunities away from FCS players 2B involved in draft/scouting process?
Is it just me, or does anyone else start to tune-out coaches that talk about what they've done. what others didn't do, blaming this and that... Just Me?

The SWAC schools wanting to keep the CG at home stadiums is to not just give the top team the financial gain of hosting the event but the adv of playing a CG AT HOME!
FAMU 100% expected the demand just as Alcorn and JSU did before them. Bragg is HOME. No need to look elsewhere.

athletic programs have similar issues with regards to funding. We want greatness, but we won't fund it! Great teachers and coaches have to stop being asked to "do more with less." When will GIVE MORE to DO MORE with MORE?!
OUR culture... OUR history... OUR place amongst the best programs and universities in college football/athletics should stand on pedestals right next to programs like Michigan.
We spent YEARS in the valley. The right hire brought us out. The wrong hire will send us back.

Yesterday, we spoke with former athlete and athletics administrator Vaughn Wilson - who had a lot to say.
We also disproved one of the NAA's claims that they were never thanked for raising money. An e-mail sent by Sykes that we obtained shows they were.

Jumped on X, and I'm not sure why Jackson State is trending. Is it for Leilani Armenta, or is it to call out Deion Sanders' false claims of stolen items, which NEVER happened at JSU but DID happen at UCLA.
Probably the latter.

Jackson State football head coach Deion Sanders will donate half of his salary to help complete the program's football facility renovations, he announced on Instagram.
My man came to the game with thoughts. I LIKE all 3 points.
Note: While the NCAA works for ALL the college presidents, his biggest revenue generators are not his biggest stakeholders. Saying this is HUGE!
