Deion is Poster Boy for Selfish

Deion Sander is doing everything to salvage his reputation, and make himself look like an innocent bystander, as Oklahoma State's Dez Bryant sits on the sideline of what should be an All-American season.
Sanders should be banned from any contact with any college player by the NCAA.
He was on television on Sunday talking about how he did nothing wrong. If he did nothing wrong, why is Bryant sitting on the sideline why Sanders is on television promoting himself.
Sanders said on TV he did nothing wrong. As far as NCAA rules, that might be right.
But, why did he need to meet with Bryant? What was his purpose?
If he wanted to help mentor Bryant, this is a horrible way to do it.
Instead of being a mentor, Sanders has become Bryant's worst nightmare.
Yes, Bryant shouldn't have lied about the meeting. We get that.
But, why was Sanders even involved with a college player?
We can only speculate it has something to do to further Sanders' career.
Sanders needs to be pushed out of any contact with any college players to make sure no other collegiate star has to suffer such a horrible penalty that Bryant is now serving.
He's already ruined the reputation of one player. Hopefully, others can be spared if Sanders is banned from all future contact with college players.

Spike Lee called Deion Sanders a punk when he came out of Florida State. Sander's was Neon Deion and had 500#'s of gold jewelry hanging off of him.

Sanders is a pimp, nothing more. Why any athlete gets sucked in by him is unfortunate.
When Sanders attempted to adopt Floridian star halfback Noel Devine it took him a few days to hop a plane back to florida & ditch Sanders.
