We have a new angle in the Deion Sanders- Eddie Robinson Jr. beef.
During the postgame handshake after Saturday’s ASU-JSU game, it appeared that Alabama State head coach had shoved Sanders for trying to hug him.

According to Eddie Robinson, he wasn’t interested in being friendly with Sanders to Deion’s pregame comments all week.
“I thought it was a lot of disrespect the whole week, so you’re not going to be disrespectful the whole week in the media…you’re not going to disrespect me, my team and my school.”

Earlier in the week, Sanders had called out Robinson and ASU for scheduling their homecoming game against JSU.
” It was brilliant to invite us there, because you’re gonna make some money. But what comes along with money? All money ain’t good money.”
This clip of @DeionSanders talking about playing Bama State for their Homecoming has me IN TEARS! He wants this game to get UGLY! This man called a CONFERENCE game a MONEY game 😂 pic.twitter.com/6oVsj1cY8S
