I had actually never heard of Prime Academy until reading this thread.  Sounds an awful lot like the Bishop Sycamore model...

https://www.si.com/nfl/cowboys/news/dallas-cowboys-deion-sanders-prime-prep-colorado-coach-new-york-jets-aaron-rodgers-preview

In 2012, the same persona who wrote a book titled Power, Money & Sex and starred in a reality TV show called Prime Time Love was planning on opening his own charter school in Dallas … fittingly called Prime Prep Academy. As a writer for the Dallas Observer, I joined a team chronicling his ambitious endeavor.

The scandal, fraud and mismanagement started before the doors even opened.

We learned that Deion’s co-founder, D.L. Wallace, was inexplicably being paid rent for a Prime Prep building that he didn’t own. When we approached Deion about the arrangement, he offered no rational reason and instead brushed us off with a patronizing “God bless you.”

Prime Prep’s application to the Texas Education Board was found to be plagiarized from another school. Along with promising students a “world class education,” the document also contained outright lies about securing hundreds of thousands of dollars in donations from corporate giants Wal-Mart, Home Depot and NFL Network. When we contacted those companies, they were dumbfounded that Deion was even starting a school, much less about some pledge of financial assistance.

During its three-year run, Prime Prep was a series of embarrassments, including being ranked as the “worst academic institution in North Texas” by the non-profit, Children at Risk. Sanders was front and center, twice fired as football coach, accused of choking two employees and telling school administrators – on a tape recording – that he not only wanted a hefty pay raise but also a new job title: “HNIC.”

Prime Prep shuttered its doors in 2015 with less than an hour’s notice, leaving students without a school and employees without paychecks.

Said a TEB member upon the school’s closing, “Prime Prep will no longer be a financial lottery ticket for those who don’t care to understand how to educate children.”

To this day, some in Dallas mock Deion’s failed school as “Crime Prep.” Quite the legacy.

Yep. HBCU was really important to Deion at that time because Deion happened to be coaching at an HBCU. Now he's strutting around Boulder looking like Lil Nas X.

He strikes me as one of those heroes that you're better off not meeting.

Two things regarding Travis Hunter (via ESPN)

One: Colorado is still saying that Hunter should only miss two games, not the three or four that Skip Bayless is claiming.

Two: The player who made the hit on Hunter has been getting death threats and had his family's address published online.

Yes, the hit was dirty, but that kind of sh-t s uncalled for

Go take a look at Florida's staff if you wanna laugh. They've got as many coaches as players. I wish I was joking.

When all else fails I still can count on Prime!

Skip Bayless just said Drake Maye was overrated. He was talking about how there is always a prospect that comes out of nowhere from a random school that gets overhyped. At the end of the segment he mentioned Drake Maye and Keshawn and Richard Sherman agreed with him.lol

 

 

@LinvilleGorge what do you say to this?

I don't pay any attention to professional trolls and would suggest everyone else to do the same.

Skip Bayless spent years saying The Golden Calf of Bristol was a great NFL QB.  You basically can't recover after exposing yourself as a for click troll to that degree.

These people have made entire careers out of constant controversial hot takes to get shares and reactions. It's just not worth any attention.
