story that involves huge NIL contract in smaller school


Why would he have more NIL potential at Jackson State than at Florida State, or another elite program?

I just hope he makes it in Jackson alive in three or four years. If I had a choice between Jackson and New Orleans good luck.

Dave Portnoy is the T-Boone Pickens of Jackson State.

Barstool NIL deal incoming


It is probably going to benefit he and his family in the short term, financially. But long term it is a poor decision if he wants to develop as a football player. He's going to be playing FAR inferior competition, and is going to be coached by very inferior coaches.

Just a dumb move. It will have no effect because no matter how good he is, there is no supporting cast around him. He'll due a slow death there, or leave, or watch Deon take another job after his son leaves

He’s going to get a huge NIL deal with this. That probably helped sell him on the switch.

Why exactly does Portnoy want this guy at Jackson State?

Coach Prime fittin ta blow the roof off this thing at JSU. NIL and the portal changing everything. Why would Deion leave JSU if he could make them relevant in big boy football? Watch them expand the playoffs if Prime can keep it up.

There was a time in the not so distant past that Grambling had more alums in the NFL than any other school.

With new NIL rules, the under the table money game that from the 90’s till now, tilted the balance of power away from smaller schools could level the playing field.

This is the unpredictable Wild West. Nobody knows what could happen next!



You are correct, a major US Corporation wants to focus on helping improve HBCU's. Those corporations start giving NIL deals to guys like Travis Hunter at Jackson State, then all of a sudden it is easier for the next 5 star to go to Prarie View (i.e. Jerry Rice), or Grambling (numerous NFL HOF, Willie Brown of the Raiders, Willie Davis of the Lombardi Packers, Buch Buchanan of the 60's and 70's Chiefs with Hank Stram, Charlie Joiner WR), or Tennessee State (Ed Too Tall Jones of the Landry 70's Cowboy Dooms day defense).

Jackson St is FCS expanding the playoff will not impact them at all. They don’t even compete in the FCS playoffs

I disagree.

He will be the best player on every field he steps on in college against inferior WRs. He will have a huge NIL deal, and he will be the face of The SWAC. If he does well and gets drafted high, it could be a huge momentum shift for HBCUs in general. Liberal media will make sure he is not forgotten.
