Deion Sanders cancels postgame presser, sets team meeting on campus amid Colorado reports

It was first reported by Pete Thamel that Jackson State head coach and former NFL star Deion Sanders would be taking the head coaching job at Colorado. The original report said that it would be revealed after the Tigers’ SWAC Championship game against Southern.
Jackson State beat Southern 43-24 Saturday, but Sanders did something a bit unorthodox immediately following. Coach Prime canceled his postgame media availability and instead set up a team meeting at a “location on campus.”
The Jackson State football team is meeting with coach Deion Sanders at a location on campus, and Sanders is not expected to meet with the media after the SWAC title game, @WiltonReports reports from a bizarre scene in Jackson.

It’s very possible that Sanders does not want to make the win about him in this situation. Questions at the availability would likely lean heavily on the head coach’s future plans. He also could be telling his team the potential Colorado news before officially announcing it, if Thamel’s report is accurate.
We will know soon enough. The Tigers are set to take on NC Central in the Cricket Celebration Bowl in Atlanta on Dec. 17.
