This is BULLSHIT!!!!im from Jackson Ms and this is a false narrative taken from a 26 sec sound bite!!!!!!!Being close with ppl in the finance department said THIS WAS NOT TRUE!!!!JACKSON STATE HAS EVEN RELEASED A WRITTEN STATEMENT ABOUT THESE ALLEGATIONS!!!!This all to make jsu look bad ..Also this is a false narrative to lean towards “black ppl screw black ppl but white is right”..Pinkbook do your EXTENSIVE research on this one
Sure, what’s the name of the people in the finance department that says this is untrue. I have no problem contacting them and collecting the receipts to prove that they actually have the money for the 50-60k seats sold each game. What’s their names?
I believe Coach Prime. His track record while at JSU is impeccable. I’m not going to believe the people allowing people to steal from this man who gave as much as anyone can give.
Yea what the fuck ever it was theives in the finance dept and student hall that stole money before.matter of fact it's always the ones with the access that does that type of shit..fck that school along with the rest of them plantation ass broke down as schools
@David Austin - Nothing much accomplished, except for the fact and once again a Black person showed just how well playing the race card works. Deion false flagged White colleges and universities to help secure the talents of Black players, they came to play for him, he won games, and he left to go coach at a White university where he will "steal" Black talent away from other schools to include HBCUs. Also, Deion will use race, successful football program, and quality education to get good to decent Black players in Denver, and neighboring states like Nebraska, Texas, and Oklahoma to play at U of CB.
@@Wolfinthenorth BS. That pie in the sky after you die crap is what is the problem is. Not helping the youth see a better way. Not setting up tutoring and mentoring programs. Churches taking from the hood but not doing anything in the community to help stop crime. I could go on and on and on, but you would disagree with all of it because you are in denial and like the status quo. People like you are part of the problem
I’m a JSU fan all my life. Born and raised in Jackson 56 years. I can tell you 2 things that are absolutely true. 1) Coach Prime is 100% right in what he’s saying and everybody here knows it. Been going on for years. 2) the negative comments towards coach prime always get the air time but there are waaayyyy more JSU fans and Jacksonians that love and appreciate Deion Sanders for what he did for not only JSU but the city of Jackson Mississippi.
@@eaglemusic2000 The bottom line is they didn’t do right by him. May have not been this particular situation but we are now hearing other situations that happened.
Exactly! They shot themselves in the foot with this one! No person of his status will EVER risk their career again to help people in the backwards state of Mississippi. Was on the bottom when he got there and now that's where they'll remain. And I'm from there so save it!
@@eaglemusic2000 Yeah I'll have to look into this one myself. I'm 99% sure there was money missing I've worked enough events when I was younger to know that but to say there was a conspiracy to keep him from getting his points is a tall order. That claim was not support by facts in this video
As a former professor, I can say this kind of thing goes on at almost all colleges and universities these days. Education administrators are the absolute scum of the earth. They ruin academic departments and they will ruin athletic programs if they can get a little money out if it for themselves.
JSU games had many spectators in the stadiums with gratuitous tickets: area school students, friends and relatives of gate keepers, and others. The practice is traditional and goes on at other universities and other events, including clubs and concerts! Not saying it's fair to Deion. Just saying, in a community of fans not as well off as MSU, Ole Miss, GA or Alabama, if ticket sales are not what's anticipated, gates open to fill the venue, although the coffers are only half filled. Since the tickets for the games were electronic, debit and credit cards, only, I am told, it shouldn't be too difficult to determine if Sanders was cheated or not. If so, by how much. Retain an independent auditor and investigators to get to the bottom of the matter, ASAP. We cannot have JSU presented to the world in such a negative light! It reflects poorly on graduates, current students and those still determined to attend.
@@walterturner1633 the other difference between those universities and JSU is JSU does not own the stadium they play out of. It's the city's (I believe). Idk how much they're charged per game
Colleges are literally a Ponzi scheme by definition. Lowkey crazy how few people are financially literate. It’s gotta be less than 10% of the population
Sister, you are ALWAYS on point. It’s astounding. When you said 50s son needs to learn from Deion’s oldest kids… I almost fell out of my chair. That’s the best truth I’ve heard all day.
@@pinkbooklessons exactly. It’s a team. Buckey (Deion Jr.) decided about 5 years ago that he was going to use his father’s legacy to build. Since then, they have worked as a team. Every time he meets someone, he says “This is my son. He’s out media team….”. They work together, to build/maintain each other’s prestige. Shilo left a program where EVERYONE who plays his position becomes an NFL player. To come help JSU and Deion. He’s supposed to be an NFL rookie right now. So even with your great reporting and some others, there’s still no full account of the immense teamwork and sacrifice the Sanders are displaying to us. And don’t forget Tracy Edmonds. This woman is a mogul, spending half her week in Jackson, MS.
He helped that school and other colleges affiliated. He took money from his own pocket to improve things and they trying to throw dirt on his name? Its horrible. Thank you Pink for telling the truth!
Unfortunately, stories like these are far too common with HBCUs. I'm a Southern University alum, and I love my school but back in the 90's and early 2000's we had a lot of foolishness going on with misappropriation of funds. It seemed like we were in the news all the time with this type of stuff...so I know for a fact that this goes on.
unfortunately this happens at lots of the HBCU's. They can get all the funding but the school still looks terrible. My wife went to Bethune Cookman College and left for this same reason.
JSU had to return almost 2million in misspent fed govt funds, not to long ago ,the former school president was arrested in hooker sting...🤔 But just a product of the environment, the most crooked state in the nation.
Morris Brown College grad here and unfortunately it happed to MBC right after I graduated. MBC is back (Thank God!) but it’s something that “many” HBCUs deal with
Hbcu's steal so much I got out of there my first year. To hell with the corruption and poor quality of living and learning. I couldn't believe they treated black students that way but at a regular school it was a complete 180.....GLORIOUS
Deion wasn't part of their group nor an insider and what he did by winning plus visibility, money, contracts. It made HBCU leaders look bad and that's what their upset about
You’re right Willie. He’s a total outsider, he had no clue how these institutions operated until he got there. Lots of jealousy within the institutions.
HBCUs are well-known for skimming off the top. Most students have issues even receiving their financial aid on time. Some receive it at the END of the semester. Then the conditions on campus are abhorrent.
Excellent commentary. As an alum from Grambling State University, I saw a lot of financial disparities and mismanagement. So I would not be surprised if that was the case at JSU. I believe the blueprint was laid by Coach Sanders so staff there can pick up the baton and continue to grow...if they would like.
And the people who were against him leaving expected him to stay, in spite of all this?! And the biggest middle finger of it all is that he has to pay off his own contract! No way!
@@cmotown1 I wouldn’t. Now we see why they are so upset(mr president) gravy train rolling out. Thank u Deion. Just like I thought. Go where u are appreciated take your kids and get your coins.
This is making all HBCUs look really really bad. After all of this craziness I've been researching other HBCUs and learning a lot that they don't want people to know. My son will not be attending an HBCU. Look at what happened to Morris Brown.
Let’s Be Real! JSU is WAY too BROKE to even have a Coach like Coach Prime! Period. They were BLESSED to even have him for 3 Years! Now he can Win and Get Paid for his services without being in a High-Crime City where “Blacks hate to See other Blacks more Successful than them”. Great Video ❤
Deion went there, because it was only one of less than a handful of schools that desired to take him off the street as a college level head coach without much experience. To include, he wanted to bring his sons, and maintain a social media presence. U of CB is in a desperate state, so they are one of the few schools a level up from JSU who is willing to take such a risk. Provided Deion and his son brings no drama to the school, what do they have to lose?
@@dfiantii64 - Everyone keeps referring to "how much he brought to JSU". Exactly how much did he bring? JSU has an endowment of only $43m, and is operating in the red, because only the interest earned from the endowment investments are used towards expenses. Each sold out home game brings in approximately $2.5m but is used towards the expense of hosting the game, auxiliary expenses, with the remainder absorbed into the general school funds. The school negotiated out of their Nike contract and negotiated a contract with Under Armor due to Deion's personal contract, so that was a wash. The school did not score a major television contract. So outside of media attention via Deion's celebrity notoriety, what did they gain so much? Deion did not blow the school until the end of his second year after their first championship win under his tenure. Concerning their stadium. JSU has owned the stadium since 2011. The school secured a $250k fact finding grant from the State of Mississippi to help put together a committee to look into possible ways to fund a new stadium to include possible costs, and locations. So far this year, the most that has occurred was a passed referendum showing the City of Jacksonville and the State of Mississippi will discuss possible ways to fund a new stadium. That referendum is scheduled to be submitted to the State of Mississippi legislation in early 2023. Deion's tenure has been more urban legend than actualities.
What he is saying is TRUE! I worked there and I saw it happen all the TIME. TELL IT DEION! Put ALL the cards on the table! Don't let me get specific! I CAN.
It is just absolutely disgusting how Coach Sanders is being treated. Look at how much he gave, and it still isn’t enough! I don’t blame him, you got a great opportunity, go and pursue it. I wish you nothing but success!!!
Whoa lets get this straight........It is HORRIBLE how Coach Sanders is being treated BY BLACK PEOPLE........NOT WHITES.......BLACKS.......Dieon built up the HBCU's, why no other blacks do this......ONE GUY done what Thousands of blacks could not or were to lazy to. He is a great person willing to help others.....not just blacks but all people...See thats the black culturs problem you only want help for your people and you only want to help your people...This is why no one will help you cause you poop on the hands that feed you. Maybe if you were not so worried about blacks other races wouldn't be so worried about helping you succeed. We all need to help each other...Why are blacks so racist ????? All I have heard mostly from black culture is use we why you going to White school........YOur are the only ones brining up race....Do you hear colorado saying why you hire a black man instead of a white guy...NO cause we don't care about race but about character and winning.....and Dieon is just that.
The part about the team not getting the lion share of money coming in reminds me of when I worked at a company and the department I was in was run by BW in supervisory roles hiring their friends and family from around the way or pookies who just got out of prison. Once the company started a new dept. i transferred and asked to allow me to have just one employee, a Vietnamese chick and we will run that dept. Long hours late night and our dept made like $250,000 in a month. They cut us some small checks each because the dept. I left which was full of people not working and not making any money, our profits went to keep that dept. afloat and contribute to their paychecks. We bit our tongues and bided our time and left when the opportunity came. That company did not last, got bought up and every employee was fired.
Colleges sports teams don't operate like professional sports teams. If you understood how they operated you would know he is lying. But, the ignorant agree with the ignorant.
@@DiaAkin People lie. He caught himself and then separated. You have not seen everything he has done. You have only seen what he has shown you. His videos. His feeds. Without JSU, Deon Sanders is irrelevant. He was out of football since 1996. No job with Dallas. No job with the 49ers. No job with the Ravens. All teams he played for. You ever wonder why that was the case? Why they didn't ask the best in his position to come work for them? They know him. This means, they know him well, and don't want what he brings. JSU gave him access to coaching when no one would. No one would hire him. No one! You ever wonder why that was the case? Because of George Floyd's death, AFLAC used JSU and Sanders as a way to highlight Black College football. It put Sanders back in the national spotlight. If he isn't a coach, he isn't in those commercials. He made real money on those commercials. Put him back in the money game. Lets say what he is implying about "stealing" money is true. Why would a rich guy care about that anyway? Its' peanuts. In many ways, Prime is Trump, and you guys are his true believers just like Trump's people are
I believe this happens at all HBCU schools. I graduated and worked at an HBCU. Money was missing from games and concerts ALL the time. 100k+ came up missing at an event while I was working there.
@Jay Clearmen Wale concert, made $100k plus profit at my school. It was never turned into our office to do our count to deposit. No one was held accountable. I've seen individuals counting mountains of money in rooms by themselves. (Required to have 3 people in the room). We have to be able to be honest about the issues at HBCU schools so that they can be fixed. 🤷🏾♂️
@@eastsidepicasso I respect this comment so much. Whenever you talk about how HBCUS can misplace funds you have the ‘well PWI…..’ crowd coming unprovoked. Yes this do happen in PWI and sometimes they get caught and penalized. The point some HBCUS do the same thing and it’s wrong regardless of whether it’s a PWI or HBCU or HPI
@Georgianna Dean 1. Why are you worried about what white people do? If it's wrong, it's wrong. 🤷🏾♂️ Monkey see monkey do? Or you can replace black with monkey if you like. 2. When a small majority is doing it more than the majority. It means it's at higher rates and more extreme. 3.Did you attend or graduate from an HBCU or PWI, and have you ever worked for an HBCU or PWI? I ask because I want to know where your anecdotal information comes from?
@@eastsidepicasso Now imagine this during voting like in Philly in 2020 when they kicked out poll watchers and covered the windows with paper but counted votes "fairly".
AND THAT GOING TO HELP CHANGE WHAT BY HIM LEAVING THEM HIGH AND DRY BUT WE STILL HERE Stuck IN THE SAME OLD RUT AS IT WAS Before HE BROUGHT HIS BLACK SELF HERE
Sara, you’re stuck in the “same old rut” because you have done anything to pull yourself out of it. Do something about it instead of blaming others for the rut you’re in.
@@saramcdonalds9038 Your comment is why I don't deal intimately with most Black people. Black people do not OWE other Black people their resources! You are not ENTITLED to the fruit of another Black person's talent/time/money/connections!
I don’t know why we as black people try to hold each other down after everything he has done for the school this how they treat him in the end. I just want to wish coach Prime all the best at his new job 👍🏾
Did you hear when the president of the school said he Hope's deion fail at Colorado. Envy, he is probably the main one pocketing the money that deion was not getting. Someone need to investigate the ticket scandals. Stadium was always full which hold 60 thousand but only 28 thousand tickets sold. Bull shit.
Right I guess he or his sons would have to be victims of gun violence or something for these folks to understand. That’s another thing, he paid for his own security team that he hired.
You hit a lot of good points... Respect! JSU president is a crab! 🦀🦀🦀 School should be audited. They lucky Prime ain't suing for breach of contract and really have to expose themselves in court!!!
Truth be told I would never send my child to an HBCU. I was there! You were spot on in your assessment in the last video. Mismanaged by lazy people sitting in cushy jobs with not a care in the world.
I'm white and I went to an all black nursing school in Memphis, TN. We were supposed to do clinicals at the VA hospital but didn't get all of our hours because the office admin women never did our paperwork for the 30 students. We did not graduate on time and she was never punished and still works there. Everyone at the school is black and still work there. I am finishing my BSN and my current school didn't believe me and wanted to know why I had a weird graduation date. They said I should report them to board of nursing. It was my first experience going to an all black school and I can't do it again.
Damn. I'd been pissed. You should've reported it. I'm black and I support HBCU's but wrong is wrong. Playing with kids expensive educations isn't a game. I'm glad everything is back on track for you.
WOW THAT IS SO SAD!!!! THOSE JACKSON ST. GAMES WERE TELEVISED & EVERY GAME WAS SOLD OUT AT HOME & ON THE ROAD!!! COACH PRIME HAD DEALS WITH WALMART,,,MICHAEL STRAHAN CLOTHING COMPANY,,,,UNDER ARMOUR & HELP PROVIDE A BRAND NEW LOCKER ROOM!!!! PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND NO ONE ELSE OF COACH PRIME STATURE WILL WANT TO COACH AT JACKSON ST.
He didn't have to do anything that he did. It just shows that he really cared about his players. That football program will not be the same once he's gone. Smh I don't blame him for leaving.
There weren’t any appreciable support staff until Prime opened his wallet. JSU couldn’t even be bothered to mow the field prior to home games until Prime would make them look bad by doing it himself.
Why is MONEY always one of the biggest issues with Black Folks? We always talk all this big shi7 about sticking together but we allow money to divide US. This in all aspects of LIFE for Black people. Many of US were never taught what money is intended for and that’s why our Black schools fail and why families stay divided or why those who have it live high and those destitute live poor.
This type of thing happens at many institutions. That doesn't make it right. I was on the faculty at a small college back in the 70's and saw this first hand. Someone gives some money and then we don't know where it goes. If I wanted to help a school I would not just give them money. For example if an activity bus was needed, I would buy the bus and have it delivered to the school. Then you know where your money went.
It's like they want you to do good but to a certain level or not to outshine them. But yet they're the ones who wonder why nobody of prime's caliber isn't somewhere bigger.
Many stay away because of what was just illustrated. Too bad we will never stick together as we demand what others should do and those who do all the complaining are the main ones who do NOTHING! If this is the case how come the President of the school didn’t rectify this and do right concerning Coach Prime? Why? Because like everybody else he doesn’t care unless it benefits him. For his sorry a77 to say he hopes Coach Prime fails tells you what Ni77er he is. Dam7 crook!
@@ALUCARDTWILLIGHT Facts and you’re right. Amazing how these negroes in charge did nothing. The football field to practice was raggedy and administration knew it and did nothing. But all of a sudden now you care. Right?
This is why I would stop helping the "community" you don't own them ish! This doesn't surprise me one bit. Sucks for the players but I'm glad he got the hell outta there!
Right. He’s taking some of them with him, some are graduating and the others are lucky to have been coached by one of the greatest hall of famers of all time. Wish them all the best, they should really look into the President and how the institution is being ran.
@@pinkbooklessons The other will go into the portal may not be Colorado State but after what they see what Coach Prime went through personal and how JSU treated them and Coach Prime trust me the whole football team will go into the portal or request a school transfer and JSU would have to recruit all over again.
No essentially about it. And he wasn’t coaching for free. He was PAYING to coach there and it’s what drove him away. Travel & accommodation for away games, support staff, a decent practice facility, and help getting his boys into actual respectable uniforms. Paid out of his own pocket.
@ Pink Book Lesson, Thank you for always bringing wonderful content. I'm from Dallas, Texas,and Deion (Prime Time) Sanders had a school here in Dallas, called Prime Prep Academy, and jealousy,envy, and hatred was also the culprit at his highschool,too. I salute Mr. Sanders on what he bought to the Dallas and JSU facility's, but our on community will do us wrong, when people are trying to clean up and help the black community!! Sad... Thank you for your stories, research, and informing us on these stories. Thanks ❤️❤️💯💯🌹🌹
For the people saying this is false an saying pink book should do her homework, I have a simple question? If he is lying why isn't JSU suing him for SLANDER. I mean they'd get their books forensiclly audited an the proof would be out that he's lying unless they don't want that to happen. Just wondering 🤔.
This some I BEEN saying. I got UAPB (which is also in SWAC) and me as well as many other students have been scammed in manyyyyyyy ways. All of the SWAC need to be investigated
@Pink Book Lessons , It's because the allegations are true. I taught at an HBCU for years. They are known for poor administration, misappropriation, and management of funds. They would give tenure to Europeans than to African Americans.
I remember him since when he was playing for the Atlanta Falcons! He help us to win a Super Bowl in San Francisco ❤ He is a hard working. Man I wish nothing but the best for him. Good luck, Mr. Sanders and Colorado. you deserve the best.❤
This doesn’t surprise me. It will be a deterrent for others who could make a difference. I think he did a great job and is thankful he contributed to a HBCU.
Why would he lie about that but he is really wondering why the money is not making it back to the football players . He was steady digging into his own pockets and they kept expecting him to do it for more years ? They are ridiculous for using the football team as their own personal currency. There needs to be a detailed expense account report cause if they weren’t stealing they would have proof .
Find the individuals in administration that are flossing on a teacher's salary --> there goes your thieves. And I bet they look like me and you. It be your own people. SMH! I wish Coach Prime all the best.
It sounds like some of the colleges need an independent auditor who can keep them in line and publish their financial reports for the public. This is important because when these schools go the private sector for sponsorships, the companies want to see the financial reports as well as the percentage of alumni who donate.
This is a familiar lament at these schools. These events are used as a piggy bank for administrators and others. It a disgrace that few want to talk about.
“PREACH “ Haters ‼️JSU administrative team from security, and now they’re caught. That’s the problem they have been guilty all along. And he has been dropping little nuggets here and there, but nobody has put the puzzle together until he’s walking away. I do not feel that he would have expose them. Had they tried to do right by him but because they’re trying to come for him he’s gonna tell them all.
You’re right. The President should come out and ease things over with the fans and tell them to get off Deion because the last thing he wants is for people to start investigating Deion’s statements.
I am not into sports, but since he came here to Denver I am going to keep up with what he does here. Hopefully he will be able to do what he did in MS.
Great video coverage Queen 👑 this is a teachable moment for JState and all HBCU'S Coach Sanders work at JState speaks for itself and he went above and beyond the call of duty still waters run deep and we're hearing the rest of the story if JState had an inkling of any institution was interested in Coach they should've came with a package to encourage him to stay!
