In bolting to Colorado, Deion Sanders hoodwinked those who believed he was 'our coach', that's the opinion of JTKEITH1
By going to Colorado, Sanders lost his chance to provoke change where it is needed most: At grassroots levels in Black communities across America, such as here in Jackson, where the murder rate is climbing, the city's infrastructure is failing and the need for impact is high.
Sanders says he still plans to impact the lives of young Black men at Colorado, and I believe him. But the comparison might as well be one apple talking to one orange. According to The Hunt Institute, a Durham, North Carolina-based independent nonprofit entity that aims to inspire change in education among policymakers, about 33% of undergraduate college students nationwide are first-generation students. At HBCUs, that number jumps to 52%.
Colorado is doing its part to help. With only two winning seasons since 2006, the Buffaloes are starved for a winner, already making promises to Sanders to relax standards for bringing in athletes from the transfer portal.
