Deion Sanders: Jackson State Without Water After Flooding in Mississippi

Jackson State's football team has been affected by the water crisis in Jackson, Mississippi.

"We don't have water," head coach Deion Sanders said, per TMZ Sports. "Water means we don’t have air conditioning. Can't use toilets. We don't have water, therefore we don't have ice, which pretty much places a burden on the program."

He said his biggest priority is providing safe living conditions for the players on the team.

"I gotta get these kids off campus—the ones that live on campus, the ones that live in the city of Jackson—into a hotel and accommodate them so that they can shower properly and take care of their needs," he said.
