247 Sports blogger Carl Reed recently suggested that Jackson State should look to join the Big Ten following that league securing Southern California and UCLA from the PAC-12. The tweet generated a lot of conversation about the idea of JSU not just jumping to the FBS but joining up with a power conference.
Reed recently joined “The Block” to expound on his tweet.
“I believe that Jackson State can compete at the Division I level with Deion Sanders as the head coach,” Reed said. “Do you mean to tell me that they couldn’t go to the Sunbelt, that they couldn’t go to Conference USA and have success?”
Reed claimed sources that stated that Deion Sanders wants to remain at Jackson State, but that moving up to the FBS level would be key to making that happen. hbcugameday.com/2022/07/12/how-far-is-jackson-state-deion-sanders-away-from-the-fbs/

Let's be reasonable. Maybe CUSA or Sunbelt. Not saying that it's not possible, but JSU it's probably at least another 5 or 6 years from having a power conference even consider gambling on them.

If it got legs, Deion would get the money from donations to make it happen. The other side of the coin is the unlikely party, the Big Ten. Also, the SEC would be PISSED if the Big Ten did it just to have a foothole into the south. While I don't think it's at the top of the totem...it could get some legs.
Also, have to consider the state of Mississippi may block it.
