The NCAA is upset because of his honest comments he made in this interview!!!!!!

 

[Nelson]

Yeah I bet... more momentum is picking up for a student-athlete union.

I think Grambling should have beaten Northwestern to this idea considering they were in the news recently!!!

 

[Nelson]

It would've required the students to be proactive. That's on them if they wanted to do something like that.

Considering the situation they were in motivation  should not have been a problem!!!!
