It's because we as black people act like it means nothing. How many will be quick to tell you how a big expensive school is better as if their books have different words and their professors care more about you.
The nerve of that guy to continue to call Coach Prime “Deion” while refusing to correct himself. It’s not only his position, but it’s also the fact that Prime is probably old enough to be his father.
You guys should have this same energy when Deion is being petty and disrespectful saying off the wall things that really has nothing to do with him or his own program...
@@kendallprice1962 why should we have tht same energy?..like fr..why?..has absolutely nothing to do with a man asking another man to refer to him by a certain name..and the man still disrespects him intentionally the 2nd time by calling him wht he knew was disrespectful to him the 2nd time..even if the first time wasn't intentional..the guy knew the 2nd time that he didn't want to be called that in the position of a head coach and being interviewed as a college football head coach.
HBCU’s need to think bigger. They definitely need their own network. Stream online, stream on the apps. Get some talented commentators and show out with it. I’m sure they can find the sponsorship for it. Now is the time since so many non blacks seems to want to support us for any cause so they can look like they care about us!
@@mannyp5007 once upon a time B.E.T. did broadcast black college football in the mid late 2000s. but Johnson sold his network to a mzungu that now owns it and affiliated with CBS/Viacom.
My bad I left out "not"..EDIT:..in current day, there is absolutely zero reason for all the HBCU leadership "NOT" to collaborate and create a custom online page/platform where you can stream/view all content. One site shared by all HBCUs (prevents dividing visitors and acts as the main hub with ALL the traffic) that want to be a part of it, sharing ideas, connections, knowledge, sports and more...but never once have to worry about asking to be put on by other folks.
@@cordelearts ugh..my typo reversed my whole message lol...I literally meant to say there is zero reason they shouldn't be doing this and every reason that they should be.
I really think that all HBCU's should follow JSU's formula. Align themselves with larger than life Hall of Famers that can bring notoriety and resources to their programs. Could you imagine the publicity that could be gained if Alabama State had let's say Michael Irvin supporting them and lending the light of his star to the ASU program? JSU vs ASU would need a larger venue to play in by next season. Things could be so much better if they could see the bigger picture. And Coach Prime is literally offering the blueprint for free.
@Christopher Michael Irving is a big name in sports too. I think he would also draw a crowd, maybe not in the way of Coach Prime, but he’ll definitely draw some excitement. But I agree about not just letting certain people come in for a steppingstone. That’s disrespectful to the schools.
@Christopher 🤨 I don’t believe that Prime wasn’t granted an interview with FSU because there’s a clip of him telling Sheduer that he had been on an interview with FSU. They just didn’t hire him. If I were him, I wouldn’t even want to go to a P5 now. They only want him now because they recognize his influence, and they don’t like the fact that his influence is causing a lot of P5 schools to lose the interest of the top-tier players that they use to have in their back pockets. Why go now, especially if he’s not hurting for money?
@@CodyCole80 Irvin will never be able to get pass a background check outside of Bethune Cookman every swac school is a public school. Thus meaning the coaches are state employees and they have to pass a state background check and Irvin might not even want to coach
No, I think HBCUs should play on ALL networks that will showcase them, n as a people, we should hold those networks accountable for sharing/highlighting accurate information regarding our outstanding student-athletes! #HBCUMade ❤️ -BBnBaB
In order to do that they have to PAY the networks. Which they cant. When on the other side of things, top D1 schools are the ones getting PAID for a company to broadcast them.
HBCU's over the years tend to be mediocre. Deion Sanders compelled Jackson State to build better facilities and invest more money than usual, which has contributed to their success. ESPN is at Jackson State because of Deion and his accomplishments. ESPN wouldn't even waste their time at other HBCU's. The alumni at these schools need to step up with donations for both academic and athletic facilities.
HBCU League pass! I think it’s wonderful to showcase their programs on every platform. Streaming, CBS, you name it. More views, more eyes. Ultimately, as long as HBCU’s keep pumping out young men that graduate. That’s the main thing. Instead of chasing the fleeting golden NFL ticket.
Of course they want Prime to leave the HBCU scene, they want it back the way it used to be! At every turn, they try to deconstruct any and every entity of black progression!
Your observation is spot on, but let’s all be patient. Coaches Like Prime, Coach Jackson and Coach George, they will eventually force the major media outlets to respect what they are doing. We have to support these brothas at all cost, and the players like Hunter that are coming. Eventually the consistent work will pay off. Before desegregation HBCUs could battle with anyone in the country, we will get back to that with some strong brothas with a vision
The only reason that people are interested in hbcu games is because of coach sanders unfortunately. But, this is a great opportunity for hbcus to showcase their great talent while the iron is hot. Coach prime won't be there forever. Once he leave so does the cameras unfortunately
Yes we should be playing on our own network but you can look at this several ways. 1. Why aren't our own people who have made enough money to make this happen making it happen without gouging the schools. Both could profit. 2. See number 1!!! 3. How long will it take for one of our own that actually cares about seeing the schools profit step up and me this happen? 3. Yes we have a few that are involved currently but not to the tune of putting money into said institutions,it's more for self gain. We should value our institutions as a people even if we didn't attend one. We must come together!!!! Why is this so hard??
Remember when the Big East conference fledged to higher heights in the 80s when coaches got on board to expand their product and CBS Sports and ESPN bought into it thanks to John Thompson, Jim Boeheim, Lou Carnesecca, Rollie Massimino, Dave Gavitt, Whom all played a vital part of that growth.
We spend far too much time and energy concerning ourselves with what THEY care about and not enough caring about ourselves. We go through life bemoaning the fact "they don't like us" well f them - like yourself, but we can't do that because we are too obsessed with getting THEM to like us or feel sorry for us
AND we are desperate to support them with our $$$ in many goods and services, and the more it costs the more we are determined to be included where we are honestly not even wanted.
I was to mad at ESPN for that…and Coach Deion made it clear it’s not stat padding..they was going to take him out early but you can’t have the two picks in your qb head that’s why he was still in ..,any Coach would do the same when you have a big game coming up against Campbell
You are right ESPN does not care about HBCU football. That's our job as black folk. They are a business. They are about making money....Stop race baiting.
As a recent NORFOLK STATE Alumni, I really don’t think we deserve a national stage for football. We were horrible this year. Now basketball, that’s another story. We made March Madness for the last 2 years and have played some big names. Some we won and some we lost but we always showed up!
Prime done TOLD Y'all, "HE'S entertaining offers". That's on PRIME, and He's taking Players with him. Prime is for Himself & his Sons, NOT HBCUS. Wake⏰up.
What's happening with Coach Prime isn't new it happens every year, a coach of a smaller program gets hot after his team enjoys unprecedented success gets courted by big name programs that are having problems. This is how you get guys like Urban Meyer, Nick Saban, and James Franklin. It's not meant to be a slight to HCBUs in particular it's usually how things normally progress at most places. I don't think Coach Prime is leaving anytime soon, he believes in the mission of elevating the status of JSU and HBCUs overall. As for Shedeur winning the Heisman, that's not happening when consider who's in front of him and weakness of JSU's schedule compared to the other Heisman candidates it's just not realistic.
The thing that really bothers is that very few Black people that have the resources are not even trying to help build hbcu’s. Ala Oprah Winfrey, Tyler Perry,Lebron James,Michael Jordan magic Johnson,Dr. Dre etc. All are billionaires but don’t support building hbcu athletics that I know of.
I wish all our young talented athletes took their talents to hbcu’s the networks would have no choice but to cut the checks n oh boy the halftime shows being on major networks every Saturday what a world this would be 😊
literally the only logical choice or get left behind to rust...and we all know they will die to get a cut of that new money while whole time trying to ingrain themselves in it to gain control...or simply try to destroy it from the inside. Can you imagine how devastated this country and it's glorious highly lucrative sports programs would be to see HBCUs in 18 spots in the Top25, including all the top 5. Basketball would be next...and how about when HBCUs expand to compete in sports other than Football and Basketball.😱 noooooooooo., not golf, tennis, swimming, soccer, hockey........ They would want to storm those campuses like they did the capitol lol
As they shouldn't. Until the other HBCU colleges step up they should not get handouts or any exposure for that matter. This man came in and changed the culture of that school and the entire aura of HBCU schools. On one leg and 8 toes. Put in the WORK both physically and socially ie Marketing. Deion is MARKETING himself and his team and it's working to gain exposure. 8-0 🤷🏾♂️ and they carry themselves as men.
yes HBCU League Pass. I rather pay them than disrespectful ESPN. How can they be so racist to black people? Are they jealous because they are more athletic and has no choice to air them Something is wrong with the leadership of ESPN And I hope someone expose them soon.
Hey let’s enjoy Game Day. We at HBCU should exploit this situation Coach Prime knows how to play this game. This is the first time and will not be the last time “they” will try to lure Coach Prime from the HBCU. That’s why Coach Prime walked out of the interview. You are going to respect me, And above all HBCU. Interview Over!
It doesn't matter whether that they didn't come for the HBCU, the point is they are there and the exposure is going to the HBCU's. You though they were going to be an HBCU infomercial. No bro they are a business, they are selling commercials.
ESPN cares about making $ and so should hbcu athletics. Coach Prime is calling out the problems and taking the bullets while jealousy and envy keeps other hbcu’s programs with a crab in the bucket mentality
I typically hire 85-100 a year, many of whom are educated and talented black people. I WILL NEVER hire a HBCU grad. I look for people who are comfortable in their interpersonal relationship skills, and not those who have the need to separate themselves.
Yall weird. This man has literally flipped the script and brought money to the city of Jackson, got kids looks they normally wouldn't get and cares about the kids while doing it. Camera angles? They don't care? The exposure was PRICELESS.
Unfortunately, some coaches don't want his help. Pride will do that to you. Prime is using FREE marketing through Instagram. Other coaches don't know or don't want to know or understand the power of social media. It would be to their benefit to do so.
@@r.b.6432 Now I can agree with that 100%... Despite my issues with coach it's time for everyone else to get on the magic carpet Ride that he's providing for the SWAC.
I wish our folks could come out to all the home games and buy out all there tickets for the "Hbcu " that will get the media attention. Plus bring some much need revenue to all the hbcu programs.
Hbcu’s is you don’t know how to recruit call coach Prime. We gotta come together now, it’s about our Black athletes getting a fairer shake in athletics and life as well.
Those left wing folks are such Haters and want to use these Young Men as Pawns in a chest Game. COACH IS A Man of Faith, Character, Morality and Just Great too watch Him and His Team.
Good marketing strategies would entice better players to attend HBCU's. Alumni of these schools need to donate financially to their schools. Those who work for large companies and corporations need to appeal to their organizations to support their HBCU. Black people are large consumers of products and services; since we support them, why not ask them to support our causes. While Coach Prime is a game changer for JSU, this may not work as well for all HSBCU's. We have got to get our campuses, athletics facilities and other campus life facilities in top notch shape so that our top athletes would want to attend. You need to be able to offer the best to attract the best.
So what?!?! At the end of the day the kids got the exposure. The people had a great time. I see people each week finding the dumbest negative stuff to talk about. Why can’t we ever just speak positively about each other? I really appreciate the fact that coach prime didn’t trip about the name. So you wanted him to mess it up for the school and kids. His name is Dion. I get what you’re saying but is it worth it?
Hell yeah they need their own channel they need their own network if the big teams got their own channel and their own network HPC used to have their own channel on their own network ACC have this SEC have dance and hbcus should have this they should see they should have everybody on that channel and they should work with everybody
They probably be right man It's all about opportunity Deion leaving HBCU is not going to hurt HBCU I understand he very popular but that don't mean anything!!! He leaving actually help HBCU
You're stupid if our black colleges learn what Deion Sanders coach prime time is teaching them how to promote yourself how to negotiate get better deals Alabama State went all the way to Pasadena California for $590,000 like you couldn't have negotiate and get $800,000 for that for you can make a profit the flight there and the flight back plus meals for the band and the football team coaches support staff hotel costs so you're $590,000 is gone you played for free come on man
If Deion Sanders doesn't get away from them HBC goofballs I'm just keeping it real I'm from Pacoima California we do not acknowledge black college. All of no disrespect they my people but their future ain't going in the right direction fast enough
Jsu really the only hbcu out there just dominating and ranked high but other schools and coaches #alabama state disrespecting him and when he leaves there may be no spotlight
Hate to say it but if he goes to a power 5, he will be a JAC (just another coach)! He’s making a difference in the black community and some don’t like that. Take an influential leader out of his element and bring him closer to you. His attention will no longer be on his people but on what they want you to focus on.
I think he can be successful but all of what he’s doing now has already been done at a power 5. They have gotten big time recruits, they have state of the art facilities, celebrities come to their games already, and they hire the next big name in the coaching world. So when he goes there, nothing he do will be new. In my opinion I feel like he should stay in SWAC build for years to come. That me and different. Otherwise he would be just another coach at a power 5
Lol doesn’t matter if they are just there for PRIME OR NOT as a bi product they are getting exposure they would’ve never got without him being there. Don’t miss the point for the fence lol
Heisman no way he should be considered, because the SWAC is considered weak. They refuse to go to playoffs to get exposure except FAMU. McNair went to the playoffs and lost but he got the exposure and got considered for the Heisman. Celebration.Bowls LOL. It's like the SEC saying we will go to the SEC championship and skip the playoffs. Can u imagine what that will cause? Shedeur is a great QB but he needs toe right exposure, look out for the young man.
HBCU fans & affiliates, better STOP being CRABS IN A BARREL. The opportunity to STEP UP & BE A WINNER, during Coach Primes incredible injection of interest in anything HBCU is NOW. This is a once in a "PRIMETIME," fleeting moment. Everyone is taking this moment for granted. PLEASE STOP THE NEGATIVE DIALOGUE. Do your part to GROW this "HBCU RENAISSANCE."
They've always treated black people like there nothing but it's up to you to be successful despite there ignorance of oneself.when they see your not criminal and making it the right way there not happy cause everything is setup for you to fail but you succeed regardless.
First, let’s stop acting like Deion isn’t the one promoting the move to P5s! He could have easily put a stop to it A LONG time ago. He didn’t. Why? Because that’s what he has wanted from the beginning. Now, you all are upset with that reporter calling him Deion. That’s understandable. But, if I am the reporter, I’m sure as hell not going to be calling another man Coach Prime. 🤦🏾♂️ His mama named him Deion Sanders. She didn’t name him Prime.
You know damn well you'd address Nick as Saban. It sounds better to address people by their last names. Especially people older than you. If not prime just say Sanders. Y'all a disrespectful generation.
@@V.VIIIBeanman Because we were introduced to him as Saban. Deion was introduced to us as Deion. You fools can call a grown ass man as Prime. His momma named him Deion. I am going to call him Deion. 😉
@@187Chevy Is he your coach? 🤷🏽♂️ He’s not mine. Didn’t play for him. If I can call Urban Meyer, Urban to his face. I damn well can call Deion, Deion on the net. You do you and don’t worry about what I do.
It's no longer in black people nature to work together, so JSU might as well continue building their budget (despite all these HBCU "insiders" who swear they know the exact number) and get on down to a Conference USA who still trying to replace the TV market they lost with Southern Miss leaving for the Sun Belt
No disrespect but I don't care about HBCUs. I'm following what Prime. When Prime leaves, nobody is going to care. And no, the QB should not be considered for the Heisman. The level of competition that he's playing against isn't in the same stratosphere as power 5s
If coach sanders go to a power 5 school...he would just be another coach based on wins and loses...he should stay at Jackson state dominate there....then moved the school to power 5 conference with new stadium 🏟️...he is loved there now...why leave...why not play on there own network...sec has it ...big 10 and others ...
Campbell is 4-2 on the season and a Very good team coached by former- NFL player Mike Minter.... We can't try to discredit this team or put out bad info.... This Campbell team is BIG, Fast, Young and hungry... and is recruiting just as well if not better than Jackson State.... Go see what they did to NCCU
@@HBCUSpotlight They did not travel to Jacksonville. The reason I was so upset because it was my Birthday. Down here in Florida there are only 4 HBCU's. Florida A&M and Bethune are the only two that have any name or prominence associated with them. I had never seen the BOOM perform live so I was quite disappointed. I guess they didn't want Bethune to get in that ass.
DO YOU KNOW THAT JAPAN HAS ITS OWN COLLEGE FOOTBALL CONFERENCE???? DO YOU THINK THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT ESPN OR THE USA IN GENRAL COVERING THEM? Y'ALL BE KILLING ME WITH THESE VIDEOS!
