Cowboys Exec Disputes Deion Sanders' Claims: No 'Conspiracy' Against HBCU Players

Colorado Buffaloes head football coach Deion Sanders tweeted over the weekend that he was "ashamed" of the 31 NFL teams that didn't select a player from an HBCU school after only the New England Patriots took Jackson State's Isaiah Bolden in the seventh round.

COACH PRIME @DeionSanders

So proud is you <a href="https://twitter.com/isaiahbolden23?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@isaiahbolden23</a> You deserved to be drafted much higher but I'm truly proud of u. I know how much u want this. I'm ashamed of the 31 other <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@nfl</a> teams that couldn't find draft value in ALL of the talented HBCU players &amp; we had 3 more draft worthy players at JSU.
