Leon Sandcastle Gets Fired, Rehired By Own School

Remember the Prime Academy players in attendance at Deion Sanders' Hall-Of-Fame induction? That's his private charter school in the Dallas Metroplex. Well, after what Deion called a "confrontation" with one of the school's administrators, he got fired from his own prep school. The administrator claims he was thrown and grabbed by the throat by Sanders in an argument over the school's academic performance. By Friday evening, Sanders was reinstated, but said he would leave after the 2013-14 season.
The school is in its second year, following a season where eligibility issues within Texas' University Interscholastic League rules caused the football team to play a short, independent schedule last year. This year, the school's academic performance has fallen below state standards.
The incident also comes out after his recently-divorced wife Pilar testified he assaulted her in April 2012. His (and Pilar's) assault cases should be coming up soon, so everything's coming up roses for Leon right now.
