Programing Note: Steve will
we love to see our girls winning. i want to talk about something that ever has every group blowing up. i will talk about -- no relation, he is on my cousin. the former pro football hall of famer and more recently the g.o.a.t. of jackson state has announced that he is leaving the hbcu and taking a coaching job colorado. dion sanders has been instrumental in leading the jackson state tigers to a swap championship, victory, and he put a spotlight on hbcu being a force in college sports. quinton, dion sanders said he was for the culture but i've been reading all day about people saying, well, dion sanders is now leaving the culture behind. he's leaving the players. what do you think? is he wrong for ntially very god for his career? >> i mean, he definitely is a bit disappointing. dion -- >> why? >> the honest irony lit a fire. >> it is disappointing because we hoped, we hope that fire he
lit under hbcu football would be an internal flame. that is why it is a bit disappointing. on the other side of things, that man has bills to pay. he is in his retirement doing his coaching thing which is a new part of his career. we all want career improvement, development, growth. he is not -- it is not his job to carry the entire culture on his back. that man wants more money, bigger spotlight, and he did his part. it is now somebody else's turn to pick up the torch and keep the fire burning that dion lit. >> i think this is such a good point. shelby, what do you think? can you fault dion sanders for going where the money besides? that is worth two nodes because we've had the president of jay asked you on this program. it is an illustrious institution that was in the news and had the culture on its back before deontay under layer. that will continue even when coach pride is gone. >> you know it, i'm not surprised by dion's move. i believe, if i'm not mistaken, he did an interview maybe a year ago where he said that if another opportunity came that was actually a better
opportunity that he would be a fool not to entertain it or even take it. so i think i can speak for all of us, when opportunity knocks, especially when it's in our field or area of expertise and you want to go for it. dion still has goals. even in his retirement years, so to speak. he's not playing ball, but he still so much offer to the football community, you know i'm saying? i think he can take some of those boys with him and he will be just fine. just like quinton said. hopefully someone else will pick up the torch and continue to carry. . he just lit the fire, we have to keep it burning. >> yeah, hopefully some of the players -- decide to say at the school, jackson. because hbcu has produced doctors, lawyers, supreme court justices. vice president of the united states of america and nfl champions, okay? quinton shelby, that you both for kicking it up with me this afternoon. before we, go the -- honor starts night and
