appealed to the state legislature on a number of prior occasions to change the flag, but to no avail.
Maybe this time will be different.

If enough world class football players follow Clemson's example -- Hopkins and Watson -- that flag is toast by sundown. Don't for a minute think Clemson's trustees made those decisions out of the goodness of their hearts. They saw recruiting and revenue going into the toilet.

How many world class football players have come

from Ole Miss and MS St that are in the league today? Is Dak world class? Probably. Laremy Tunsil is a great football player, but can he make an impact? Ok, well I just named all of the current NFL players I could think of off the top of my head from those two schools.

How about the American flag? We all know that several of those stars represent racist states and the stripes represent racist colonies.

The “Stars and Bars” belong in a museum. Not on a state flag. Go Tigers

The “Stars & Bars” is not a part of the Mississippi state flag. The “Battle Flag” or Cross of St Andrew is. This is a common misconception with the flags of the CSA. The “Stars & Bars” was the first national flag of the Confederacy.
However, the “Stars & Bars” is the basis of the design of the Georgia state flag. Only difference is Georgia state seal in blue field instead of stars.

So the guy who runs an organization that makes millions from the labor of mostly black athletes while working hard to make sure those athletes aren't paid want to force a state to change their flag...

what conference championships are held in Mississippi? is that really some type of leverage? heck the state legislature might need to tell Sankey they'll change it but the SEC Basketball Tourney needs to be played in Biloxi and the baseball in Jackson.....
