The NFL Hall of Famer is now a coach at Colorado State after bringing major exposure to JSU and Black College Football.
FOX 26 Reporter Sherman Desselle spoke with one Houston radio host about what affect Sanders' decision could have on HBCU schools.Deion Sanders brought a lot of ‘Prime Time’ attention to Jackson State and Black college football in just a few years.
Some enthusiasts and HBCU alums claim his exit is a slap in the face to those athletes who played for him, while others say it's the cost of doing business in the sport. White says the discussions about Sanders are passionate because of what comes with the HBCU culture - generations of families with pride in their respective schools and the Black college community. The way in which Sanders announced his departure was also viewed as tasteless, as he opted out of press interviews and announced it via social media shortly after JSU won the 2022 SWAC Championship.
