Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders is under scrutiny after announcing his departure as head football coach at Jackson State University for the University of Colorado. Some criticism stems from Sanders’ statement three years ago that God was sending him to Jackson to rebuild and elevate the struggling football program.

Nii and Renée weigh in on Prime Time’s controversial move.

Things to expect in this episode:

• Renée opens up with an original rap
• HBCU football program history, the NFL and Deion’s coaching career
• Did God send Deion to Jackson State, and did Deion sell out for more money?
