JSU should have done this, but they were bullshytting smh
If JSU could’ve scrounged up some real $$$ the would’ve been better off putting it into the shít the school needs, infrastructure projects and acquiring real estate. Prime wasn’t staying there.
You see the next level facilities these big programs have and that shít is enticing for the coaches the same way it is for the players. And the support staff that you never see is a damn luxury because every thing is taken care of — and it’s like the football program is a separate kingdom from the school itself.
I’d love to see JSU and any black school get a wholesale set of changes for their athletics programs but the reality is that the core functions of these schools need it way more. Alumni giving is routinely low, endowments are non existent and you have some students with very iffy campus housing situations. These big conference schools are light years ahead and their bag men keep them that way — not to mention well connected alums.
