Coach Prime is having some problems with his players. Start at 3:24 in the video.
It's almost as if using NIL and the portal to get mercs yields players who want to be fools in the classroom. Who'da thunk it?

Its all about the juice, no reason to believe otherwise…
If you want to know how much Dion thinks of himself, just ask him.
Been waiting for him to display his sense of victim-hood. Throw him his crying towel. He earned it last season.
Self-aggrandizing, blaming others and complaining about others letting you down or being disloyal seems more tolerable to me coming from a coach than from a former President.
And, frankly, he did well at JSU and to have Jacksonians disparage him now seems like " sour grapes".
Perhaps a lot of folks these days need to learn that taking responsibility for failures and mistakes and learning from them are the characteristics of a successful, well adjusted, dependable and strong person.
Attacking a person is a sign of envy,jealousy and insecurity in all group behavior. Instead describe the behavior you don't like.
NIL and Portal have ruined college sports more so than it was already a business and not about amateur athletics.
the current state of whatever college football is now has passed him by. He and Saban believed in core values. There are none anymore.
Dude has chosen his name to be a moniker combining two Is and two Mes, wears bling bling all day, and chooses himself to be Number 1 and his videographer to be Number 2. No 2 is driving a Rolls around CU with his finger in the air to all "poors" and non family. And he wonders why the line doesn't protect him??? Sad to see Shadeur sacrificed for Deion's vanity.
Remember when Cardale Jones blurted the truth: "Why should we have to go to class if we came here to play FOOTBALL, we ain't come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS"
This is more self serving Deion Performative schlock. They are already majoring in football, and the student-athlete myth of DI fewtbawl and Bball is a JOKE. A LIE.
In the blink of an eye it has all changed. Coach Prime came to coaching to be the great attraction and shape young men in the image he most respects. Coaches can no longer be the attraction, not even Prime. Now, it's all about the money. Everything else is secondary, especially the classroom which is now nothing more than a distraction for most. And if he pushes something else, they will simply transfer. He would have a greater impact if he were still at JSU but a lot less money.
@9:32 is correct. 90% of those kids couldn't pass a real college class with no help if their life depended on it.
Ok, class, here's your assignment, tell me how many of the above posters didn't watch the video.
The days of the dumb jock are over, most are average students, these guys are getting degrees in 3 years in a lot of cases . Loyality to a coach who will jump to the next pay raise , Why ?
100% agree with Prime. He didn’t write the NIL and transfer rules. A bunch of stupid alums of big programs came up with those stupid ideas. It’s ruined college sports. But don’t blame Prime. He’s right.
1:04, that's a lie. The Atlanta Journal Constitution, analyzing GA (you know, the champs and a typical SEC team) found:
" Since 2009, the four schools have enrolled more than 230 players who failed to meet the bare-bones academic requirements laid out by the University System of Georgia. These so-called special admits often require intensive academic assistance when they arrive on campus. At Tech, for instance, six full-time academic coordinators are on staff to shepherd football players through their studies.
• SAT scores and high school grade point averages for football players trail well behind those of regular students. That's especially true at Tech and UGA, where data shows football players entering the schools have recorded SAT scores that are hundreds of points lower than regular freshmen.
• Depending on the year, as many as 100 percent of football players have SAT scores in the bottom quarter of their freshman class at Tech. At the University of Georgia, roughly eight of 10 football players are in the bottom quarter.
• There were a handful of extremely low scores. Georgia Tech admitted one player with a Math-Verbal combined SAT of 590, and UGA, 570. A score of 400 is the lowest possible on the SAT. Among college-bound seniors in 2014, just 2 percent of all SAT test takers nationally scored 600 or below, according to the College Board."
That's just for starts, bub. Yeah, they get clown degrees with tutors in weightlifting and "sports management." via the weak corrupt administration.
But, they are dumb. Let's stop lying and pretending they, or rich guys, or legacies, got in on brains. They didn't.
God Bless u Coach Prime. Every Great Coach is as much a mentor as a coach of life. Having had the opportunity to speak to the former Baseball Coach at DSU in regards to a player; his love came through loud & clear. His job was like yours to prepare these men for Life. Like it or not, you have the support of most Christian parents. Thank you!
Thank you 3:45 for stating the obvious. Figures do not lie.
Saw a Mississippi State baseball player that was a SENIOR end his major was “undecided”.
You get it now. It’s not about education.
Most folks who go to college never get a degree, at least these guys add value to their schools.
