Jackson State University has been footing a pretty pricey bill because of Deion Sanders.

Coach Prime pulled the Tigers out of their annual Southern Heritage Classic game against Tennessee State in 2022, bringing an end to the historic HBCU meet.

His reasoning was sound at the time, given that the game was played at a neutral venue in Memphis.

“Seven busses for the band. We have four buses with all our people. And who else goes? Administration. Hotel accommodations. Food, all that. … By the time we get back, we’re broke,” he explained in a post on Instagram.

Even so, the school got sued by the Summit Management Corporation after terminating the deal three years into a five-year contract. The company was after $1.8 million but JSU settled for $800,000, which they will still have to pay despite Coach Prime having moved on.
