Opinion: Deion Sanders has his toughest opponent yet in mission to buck college football system

ATLANTA — If he were not a coach, celebrity Hall of Famer and superstar pitchman, Deion Sanders would be a great preacher. And not just any type of clergy person. We’re talking Baptist preacher.

Take a seat in the pews at Church Prime, steeped in the history and culture of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs).

“I am tired of HBCUs talking about the way it used to be,” Sanders said last weekend, after his Jackson State squad was trounced by South Carolina State in the Celebration Bowl. “I want to talk about the way it is going to be!”

Let the church say Amen.
