Deion Sanders and the Jackson State University football team hopes Sunday’s Orange Blossom Classic against Florida A&M at Hard Rock Stadium provides some relief — or at the very least strengthen spirits.
After Sunday’s game, the team will return home with the water crisis still a concern. Arrangements will be made for players and staff upon their arrival.
It's still football season, and Jackson State has another game, the Southern Heritage Classic, against Tennessee State in Memphis on Sept. 10. Sanders, 55, was hired at Jackson State in 2020. The Hall of Famer has led his football team through the COVID-19 pandemic, a historical snowstorm in February 2021 and now the current water crisis.
“Jackson, Mississippi is resilient," Sanders said."We have some people in that city that endure, and all they want is a little hope. Let them peak and see a little light that they’re going to make it to the next day. And I promise you they’re going to be there."
