Jackson State head coach Deion Sanders has made it his mission to raise up the profile of historically Black colleges and universities. He’s already guided his program to great success and made major waves on the recruiting front, and now it appears he’ll be getting a little help from one of the music industry’s most influential figures.
Upon receiving a lifetime achievement award at the BET Awards on Sunday night, Sean “Diddy” Combs announced he will be donating $1 million to Howard University, where he was a business major, as well as $1 million to Sanders and Jackson State.
