It's hard to believe that Deion Sanders was once the richest football player in the world, given his latest troubles. And in this latest bout with legal inconvenience, he's been fired by the charter school that he founded, though recent reports are suggesting that he could be rehired.  

According to NBC Sports, this is the second time in just as many months that the Hall of Famer has been fired from the Prime Prep Academy in Dallas, Texas. In October, he was fired, and was quickly reinstated. This time around, however, superintendent Rachel Sanders (no relation) made the decision to terminate him again, much to the disapproval of the chairman of the school's board. A final decision on the matter is expected to be reached tomorrow. 

"I just dreamed of having the best academic and athletic institution in the country, and we are going to have it. We are going to have it...We just have to get this mess out," Deion said. "This is nonsense.  We are sick of it. The kids don't deserve it.  Overpaid, underqualified administrators never worked in a school in their life.  Total chaos.  We have a formula to restore what was the dream at Prime Prep."

According to Forbes, however, the reason for Deion's termination has to do with his improprieties (though it's unclear what that means, specifically -- the hint is that it has something to do with money, and how it's being handled), and the Texas state board of education is looking into the matter. "The Texas Education Agency is aware of various issues surrounding Prime Prep Academy," said spokeswoman DeEtta Culbertson in a written statement. "TEA continues to be diligent in gathering information related to specific complaints regarding finances, special education and allegations of nepotism," she wrote. "It would be premature to comment on any of the specifics until our fact finding in each of these areas is complete. However, TEA is prepared to take the appropriate steps should action be warranted."
