I remember when I thought Georgetown was a Black school when I was a kid.....Turned out when I got a little older that school couldn't be anything further from an HBCU
I remember I was like 10 years old and asked my pops if Georgetown was a black college. He looked at me like
and said the only knee grows at that school were on the men's basketball team 
I could've swore when BET was doing them College Hill shows VCU was one of the seasons lol I guess it was another university in VirginiaVirginia commonwealth??? Damn, if you not a cac.

NCCU is my Alma matter and I was there from 99 to 03 and it was shythole all 4 years. 2 years after graduating they got all that extra money from the state and that's when they expanded and took down all the shytty dorms I stayed in and replaced them with better ones. I was on campus a few months ago and I get jealous at how good these nikkas got it
You know exactly what I mean then man
I always had the knowledge on NCCU because my home church was right around the corner. Mount Calvary - but I haven't been there in over a decade. Durham is a rough, rough city but sine 2009 or so, maybe a bit after that, they really turned a corner on cleaning up a lot of the problems in that area.

I was in downtown Durham in March and was chilling on Main St and saw nothing but white people walking there dogs and horse and carriage rides up and down downtown Durham I was like WTF. In fact on the same exact block I was at 10 years in 2005 on that same street I witnessed a dude I knew in the club me ask me for a cigarette. I told him I didn't have one then watched him walk out and get capped in the head by two dudes he had beef with at the end of the block.
I remember watching Jerome James play for FAMU while going to NCATSU. He was the worst 7 foot player ive ever seen. Our 6'5'' centers were eating him alive so i was shocked when he was drafted into the NBA but you can't teach height

I used to think only the best of the best from HBCUs made it to the league
dude was 7'1'' with a good body in the MEAC where average height for centers was probably 6'6'' or 6'7''. He should have been averaging atleast 30 points/15 rebounds imo. He did average around 5 blocks which is what got him drafted in the second round in 1998...

Integrity and Consistency
Lol, no, but it's close!
Not superstars, but Tommy Adams and Devin Green from Hampton. Tommy might have played one or two years, Devin was with the Lakers for a few seasons
He's the nikka that got one decent series and got a big contract from the Knicks right?
that's him

HBCU sports could be better if players go to them. And with the money HBCU could generate could fund new practice facilites etc.
