Bomani Jones Clears the Record, Deion Sanders is Not a Sell Out, But Suggest It Wasn't God's Plan

ESPN commentator  and HBO host Bomani Jones appeared on "CNN This Morning" with Don Lemon to speak about Deion Sanders leaving Jackson State to go to Colorado. Jones posted his appearasnce on Twitter to clarified to the Twitterverse that he was not calling Sanders a sell out for leaving the HBCU for the coaching job at a power five school. 

Jones has been critical of Sanders in the past, so there have been previous issues with what can be termed as "selling a dream" to student-athletes looking to pursue a career in football.
