Total hypocrite.

NIL is merely an effort to allow the very rich to stay involved and control collegiate athletics (football and basketball) without the embarrassment of getting caught paying under the table. The NCAA is a mere tool for those guys. It maintains the pecking order. Too bad Coach Prime.

Go ahead and give 18-22 year old boys 10’s and 100’s of thousands of dollars, what could go wrong!

He is absolutely right. It has ruint college football.

I’m a sports fanatic but I’m getting sick of the NCAA players. It’s purely amateur sports and I played college sports.

NIL > Deion

3:00. I’m almost 70 and it has never been amateur in my lifetime. $100 hand shakes, “meal money” and other encouragements have always been a part of the game. Try reading “The Junction Boys” or “The Courting of Marcus Dupree”. The NCAA has been forced to share a small portion of the billions they earn off of young people.

This is what the idiot fanatics wanted. Hell, even high school ball is not pure in any sense. Recruiting is rampant in MAIS and MHSAA. Might as well go watch the home schoolers junior high game if you want to see players playing for love of the game.

The Alabamas and USCs of the world have been paying players for decades. But when Ole Miss or State bought a kid a tank of gas to get home, the powers that be dropped the hammer.

NIL sucks and is stupid but at least it levels the playing field.

I admire Prime, he seems to be great for JSU and keeping a real conversation going but.... something tells that he is going to have a bobble ( screw up ) at some point.
Almost seems to good to be true.

The sport is on its way out. NIL is a bad solution to a problem and just feeds the beast of major programs and creates a workaround. Targeting is going to be a major mail in the coffin. Even commentators now concede the “violations” are unintentional and resulted from one player or another changing position at the last moment. Next will be offensive calls when a running back or receiver lowers his head before a tackle. There are clearly bad spearing incidents that need to be penalized but the current targeting rules are killing the game. Some things can’t be legislated, or the fix is worse than the original problem.

So I'm guessing he doesn't endorse his own son's BBQ sauce.

As I've said, NIL, the transfer portal, and sports betting will ruin college sports, especially football and basketball. While Ole Miss and State receive more money than ever before, they still can't keep up with Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Texas, Oklahoma, et al. As for USM, they are being left further behind.

I agree with Coach Prime and 2:36.

That said, if truckloads of money, either legit or under the table or both, could buy wins, Texas ATM wouldn't keep getting its ass kicked, year after year.

College sports has ruined college in the USA. This is the reason all of my children will study abroad.

5:39 Sorry to inform you, but sports is competitive and your Ole Miss, State and especially USM have no right to "keep up' if they don't have the resources. I know it's a cruel world but remember, you could be Delta State.

I feel a little sorry for Coach Prime. He's busting his butt and doing a fantastic job, but there's too much against him at Jackson State. The governor, legislature, IHL are all going to keep JSU behind the eight ball and NIL, NFL, NCAA, and Justice Department can't help him. There are other poor schools in other states he might have saved, but he picked the toughest place. He should get accustomed to being frustrated.

Deion Sanders was literally the reason I stopped watching professional football back in 1989, but I think that success and fame changed the his philosophy from when he was a Criminole. He has matured and I pray for his continued success at Jackson State.

I liked his commercial with Nick Saban today!

@7:21PM
Should he steal welfare or HUD monies intended for underprivileged households then fake cry about being the victim of human trafficking upon sentencing?

Deion Sanders has been one of the most positive stories to come out of the Jackson area in recent memory. However, I disagree with his take on NIL. Everyone isn't cut out for the next level. After college eligibility is exhausted shouldn't the guys that don't make the league have their own level of success?

While agree with his points an applaud him and other coaches speaking out about, look at Texas A&M for an exception to the rule. Fisher's $96mil contract and their bought and paid for #1 recruiting classes prove money doesn't always buy success.

This is about foo'paw, so I know it's very, very, very important in the great scheme of things.

Kingfish: Screw you for
disapproving posts that simply disagree with your myopic vision of Sanders and Jacktown State. You figure on him buyin' your breakfast at Primos one Sunday?

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Sonjay Poontang and his band headline the night with a special steel cage, no time limit "loser must leave town" bout between Alan Lange and "Big Cat"Donna Ladd following afterwards. Kamikaze will perform his new song F*** Bush, he's still a _____. Did I mention there was no referee? Dr. Heddy Matthias and Lori Gregory will face off in the undercard dueling with dangling participles and other um, devices. Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.

There will be a hugging booth where in exchange for your young son, Frank Melton will give you a loooong hug. Trollfest will have a dunking booth where Muhammed the terrorist will curse you to Allah as you try to hit a target that will drop him into a vat of pig grease. However, in the true spirit of Separate But Equal, Don Imus and someone from NE Jackson will also sit in the dunking booth for an equal amount of time. Tom Head will give a reading for two hours on why he can't figure out who the hell he is. Cliff Cargill will give lessons with his .80 caliber desert eagle, using Frank Melton photos as targets. Tackleberry will be on hand for an autograph session. KIM Waaaaaade will be passing out free titles and deeds to crackhouses formerly owned by The Wood Street Players.
