Deion Sanders HAD TO LEAVE Jackson State For The University of Colorado - Deion Being Deion

Hey guys, welcome to the channel. Let's talk Deion Sanders and I went in this video I'm gonna tell you guys why I believe Deion Sanders had to leave Jackson State University for the University of Colorado why he had to go right? I'm a sports fan I'm a money guy, but in this instance money and sports intertwine Okay, whether Deion tells you it's it's about money or it's not about money. This is about money Okay, this was about money his move to Colorado had something to do with money it may have not been money for Deion, but it could have been money for his children or his Assistant coaches and staff that he's bringing with him. There's a piece of this that makes it about money But that's not necessarily why the only reason why Deion had to leave Jackson State for Colorado I wanted to let some of the emotion kind of calm down Before I begin to really have a conversation about this, but I want to look at this from a more logical standpoint So I want to push the emotion to the side a little bit and I'll talk about some of the emotion and why it's there Especially for African Americans, right? So first of all, I want to say that I understand both sides of this argument, right? There's one side of the argument that says Deion is a coach and this is what coaches do Coaches leave to go to schools to get better opportunities all day every day Then there's the other side of that equation from an African American standpoint where you got black people that are saying listen beyond you sold us on this prosperity talk that you were there at Jackson State University to God had called you and this was a calling and you know We get it. We drank that Kool-Aid and then you just up and left right like every black American black person who gets an opportunity to make more money you left us high and dry you left the community You left the culture you left black people hanging this is what some one side of the equation is really saying and They're saying that hey from entertainers to educators to doctors and lawyers Singers you name it every profession when they get they get an opportunity to make more money Down, you know, they always leave the black community Yeah, Dion you was bringing attention and you know, you was bringing the best players You was bringing the spotlight the the limelight you were bringing in new students new recruits All the fans and you was packing the house in the stadium the excitement It was new money new ideas new fortune You know a renewed sense of pride and culture in HBCU's Dion you was bringing all that I get that side of the equation I understand that argument, which it's a little bit emotional, but it's an argument nevertheless And it could and should be respected. I understand that argument that you know, we don't typically You know build where we are as African Americans We typically would rather go ask for an opportunity somewhere Beg for an opportunity or ask for an opportunity somewhere else instead of building where we are I get that and I see that I understand that Side of this equation. I really really do understand it, right? But here is what we have to understand as African Americans And here is what we have to understand about this situation When you get all of that stuff out the way when you get all of that those ideas out the way about how you feel and how you're upset that Dion Sanders left and how you're upset that he didn't stay and build like he said he would stay and build and Or like he like you felt he should have stayed and built once you get all of that stuff out of the way and push That to the side that emotion and that sentiment and all those facts At the end of the day we have to understand one thing Dion Sanders is a football coach Dion Sanders is one man Dion is not a he's not something that we don't think he is. Dion is not a spokesman. He's not a savior He's not anything more than a former athlete turn coach we have to understand that and so Your whatever you thought Dion was whatever you thought Dion was going to bring Whatever you felt like in your in your emotion in your spirit in your soul, and you just really want none of that really matters at the end of the day a revolution a Renaissance a turnaround is is not going to be fought or won or televised by an athlete or by a former athlete or by a coach a football coach of College football coach It's not gonna be one. It's not gonna be fault. It's not gonna be won by a football coach Dion is just a football coach right in the athletic world and all over the world sports is run and controlled and Based on and foundationally rest upon one thing That one thing is money Okay Whether you want to say it's not about the money and it's more deeper than the money at the end of the day Dion is just a coach and Dion Typically like every other coach when he's given the opportunity to make more money to have a bigger Spotlight to get better players to win Bigger games he's going to take that opportunity This decision was not about HBC use it was not about the culture It was not about african-americans. This decision was about Dion and Dion's family and Dion's Legacy and Dion's place in the world Not as an HBCU person not as being SWAC or not being SWAC It's not about any of that. It's not about any of that. It's about Dion as a football coach winning football games and wanting to compete at the highest level It wasn't about the black culture and the HBC use and about black people after him it wasn't about that for Dion and that's one thing that we really have to take a step back and Begin to understand and begin to process on a logical level You know as much as we'd like to think this wasn't about the money and to people that wasn't involved It may not have been about the money is about the culture But to the actual person that was making the actual decision Money played a large role. I don't care who you are when you go from making in your own personal life You're making thirty five thousand dollars today and then you go to make six hundred thousand dollars with a new job about 15 times more which is about what his salary was three hundred thousand dollars at Jackson State and Apparently from many stories he was given some of that back to help build things up and help things help some of the Infrastructure and so forth But in his case he went from three hundred thousand now to five million with potentially to go to seven million with some incentives, right? So my thing is if you go from thirty thousand thirty five thousand dollars at your job and somebody offers you six hundred thousand Dollars and then you turn around say it's not about the money The money does play a part because he has to pay some of these assistants and he wants these assistants to get paid Who have walked with him since he was coaching eewee? Right in the world where Dion has grown up since he was a high school football player To a college in in Florida to a college football player at Florida State To a coach a little league coach in Dallas or in intact Dallas, Texas To uh to coaching his kids in middle school all the way up through coaching them in high school and not getting some of the Bigger opportunities to go some of the bigger colleges and bring his kids there But then getting an opportunity at Jackson State throughout all those times he had certain guys with him around him Certain staff and assistant coaches that he wants to help them get aid He could not get them paid at Jackson State. Guess what now he can That's not really the money for Dion, but it's the money for his people Okay, Dion The other thing to keep in mind about Dion is this Dion had to go because Dion believes that Dion needs the best Facilities Dion believes Dion needs the best water the best this the best that now listen We know what he did in the SWAC right three six three years three seasons He was there two years, but he was there three seasons and the last two seasons He won the championships in his conference. Then this year. He will he went 12 and O and again won the championship He did about as much as he could do with what he had Now if he wants to go compete on another level and bring his football playing keep sons to his teams now he's gonna have to Do it at a higher level and we know he can because look what he did on that level on a low on I won't say a lower level but look what he did without the facilities without the The money and the infrastructure that he had there, you know So we know he can do it but Dion believes that in order to compete against the USC's in order to compete against the University of Utah's or Washington or whatever He's going to have need a bigger platform and he really wants to see his children on a bigger platform Right. So all these things point to the fact that this is about Dion no matter what takes place at Jackson State in the SWAC it's never going to be what Dion considers to be top of the line for Dion Right, so we got to keep that in mind and look at that from that perspective So in that with that saying hey Dion had to leave now think about it like this guys if it was Tom Brady Coaching at Central Methodist College somewhere making $300,000 a year and he went to take a job at like University, Nebraska would we be down on Tom Brady because he went and got that and went and Upgraded in terms of his mind what he should be doing and the highest levels and had kids and he wants to play At a higher level or would we understand it because you know, so I don't want to hold Dion To necessarily a different standard because Dion again is a football coach at the end of the day They don't call Dion primetime a coach prime or we used to call him neon Dion they don't call him that for nothing and Can he be neon Dion at Jackson State? He was But neon Dion believes neon Dion needs bigger lights Brighter lights bigger stage more money. He wants needs likes Thrives for the spotlight. It's what he does. It's who he is. It's in his DNA Dion used to dance before he got to the end zone He would you know intercept the pass and before he get to the end zone. He's showing up. He's he's dancing He's beyond and he needs that spotlight Now he gets a chance to get his longtime assistants who started with him back in the day He gets them raises he gets to change 25 other but 20 other guys family tree Right now he gets to put his kids and his talents and his assistant's talents on display on the national spotlight Now I again now again, I understand Why couldn't he just stay and build at the HBCU that's the emotional part of me saying I wish he had stayed But then there's the logical side of me that says Dion is a football coach right, I Understand why is every black person who become who's unique and they have this wonderful talent whether it's a singer whether it's a dancer whether it's a Whatever doctor lawyer, whatever it may be Entertainer football basketball. Why do they all why are they always for sale? They always have a price Then I got a step back and say wait a minute. He's an athlete. He's a coach He's been in the sports world in the entertainment world his entire life right you hear entertainers all the time on Get mad about the Grammys and mad about the Academy Awards But guess what you you look up and they're right in the audience accepting an award Right if they they protested why aren't they giving more African next thing? You know, they're right there accepting in The Grammy and shaking hands at the Academy Awards and the Globe Awards, whatever shaking hands smiling, etc This is the lot. This is the this is where Dion come from He's not an entertainer necessarily, but he is sort of an entertainer but in the athletic way Right Dion wants to be he wants to be the best So he feels like he has to compete against the best and an elevated place. Those are his words He said sometimes as a coach you either get terminated or elevated. He was saying hey I'm not getting terminated from Jackson State, but I'm elevating from Jackson State. That's what he told his players at Jackson State Dion wants to take care of his bottom line is this Dion had to go he had to leave He had to leave he wants to take care of his family and his kids and set them up for life Financially set them up to give his kids an opportunity his sons that play football an opportunity to shine on a brighter stage He wanted to give his assistants more money He wanted you all these things help all these people and he wanted to put Dion where Dion believes he can shine the brightest So I think there'll be more to come out about this story about exactly why he left JSU I'm hearing rumblings about some issues with financial issues. They were having in terms of Money and so forth. I don't want to talk too much about those things on this quick video because they're just rumors at this point I don't know how true they are and I don't want to spread rumors But let's remember that Dion's a competitor competitor at the highest level and he's a football coach He's not he's he's not him. He's not Martin Luther King, right? He's a football coach and he's there for football Right bottom line also is this guys There's a lot of great coaches out there black coaches african-american coaches that would be more than happy to come in and continue What Dion did at Jackson State? Let's not let's not take away any of this Let's not take anything away from what Dion did at Jackson State and what he brought to Jackson State and the notoriety and the limelight and the things that the spotlight he put on HBC use in his short Three seasons at that university. Okay, so we don't want to take any of that away So I understand both sides of this put this issue. I understand Dion I wish he would have stayed and I wish and it would have been nice to see Them try to build and work and build and build that that HBC you but there's a lot of us out here that aren't Building and building HBC use and not contributing to HBC use and not pushing HBC use There's a lot of people out here that don't give a dime to HBC use Dion gave three seasons two championships Some an undefeated season and a lot to JSU and JSU in turn gave him the opportunity as well So we got to get we got to understand There's two sides of this equation and let's try to understand both moving forward. But in my personal opinion Dion for Dion's sake he had to leave Jackson State for college for the University of Colorado. Hey, listen drop me a comment Let me know what you think about this.
