HBCUs Can EASYLY takeover College football

[Lucky_Lefty]

From folks I know that went to HBCUs, they can't even get housing or financial aid paperwork straight and you expect them to take over cfb

 

[SubZeroDegrees]

As a HBCU grad,

Ummmm.... No.

Inequality is already built into the system. Historically, a lot of HBCU graduates are not doing good enough financially to donate money. Blacks with college degrees have a damn near 7% unemployment, I am sure those that went to HBCUs are even higher. Plus money of them are paying massive school debt. Schools like Michigan, Stanford, and USC have alumni that makes millions, create billion dollar companies, and are executives...most of whom are white.

If an HBCU tried to join one of the major conferences, it would lead to GREAT opposition by PWIs. If I am not mistaken the rest of the schools in the conference have to vote to allow these schools in. You know those cacs are not having that. Athletic programs is a great way to fund a school, its the reason why so many schools put so much emphasis on their football and basketball teams. Its a serious $$$ maker.

i'd like to see if any of the HBCU have tried to gain admission to any of these conferences....even some of the Mid Majors like a Sun Belt or C-USA

 

[mozichrome]

i mean this also is a factor
edit: the article says some schools are improving tho

The NCAA's Academic Performance Program revamped the Academic Progress Rate (APR) data in 2011, wary of the struggles historic black colleges and universities were facing in their compilation and submission of data each year.

New rules that went into place with the 2012-13 academic year don't seem to have helped the situation, however.

Of the 36 programs facing APR penalties from the NCAA, 28 are located at HBCU programs within the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC).

Of the 17 colleges and universities whose athletic programs face penalties, 11 are MEAC and SWAC programs.

"It's not a secret what the problems are -- they're bringing in too many transfer players," Danley said. "They're just marginal students who usually don't pan out. That was basketball's biggest problem -- they would bring in a couple of junior college transfers every year from somewhere around the country, and they'd get to Montgomery, figure out they didn't like it and were gone after the season. That kills you. In football, it was bringing in too many just marginal students.

"We reviewed these problems after the (APR) issues in 2011. You have to tell the NCAA why the problems occurred and what you plan to do to fix them. One of the things we had planned, and I don't know if it has been implemented, is a committee that reviews all transfer signees. I don't know what has been done, but I know the biggest issue was that the coaches, particularly in basketball and football, refused to put up safeguards about the type of player they were bringing in."

Bet used to show hbcu games but stopped because nobody watched them

 

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

HBCUs should leave NCAA and form then own organization with other HBCUs (over a 100)

Why would they do that? Because they can pay players. Starters 2,500 a game backups 1,000 a game only for the top 53 players.

All top recruits will start flooding over to HBCUs not only will they get to go to school for free they will also be able to do signing or Advertisement national or local.

Students will flood HBCUs like they flood over to white schools with good football teams. HBCUs will make all that money and more ten fold.

In an ideal world 2 conferences of 15 apiece wpuld suffice.

Plus. If that happened they magically decrease the amount of scholarships per team and kill the system entirely.

EASYLY?!

HBCUs cannot even compete with mediocre division 2 schools in football, what on earth makes you think they want any part of the SEC or Big 10? fukk competition thats a safety hazard!

The only way you get to join one of those power conferences is if you bring fans and a media market they dont already have or you are a power football school. They dont let schools join as favors.

 

[Rekkapryde]

fuk paying players,, they already get an education free,,, if that aint enough then let them stay in the hood where they came from

tryin too hard fam.

 

[RammerJammer]

I'm still at the fact that someone thinks HBCUs can take over the Alabamas and Ohio States of the world. HBCUs struggle financially. With the logic

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

When I was at FAMU, their basketball team snuck into the tournament a couple times. Next thing you know they built a phat new basketball arena and not one cent of that money came from the school. It was built with 100% basketball team money.

But of course that money was from the NCAA tournament. Their revenue share is ridiculous.

So the question would be where does that ORIGINAL money come from? Once they're good, they're good because once you have money it's easy to make more money. But the question is where does the startup come from?

I'm all for this because these white schools didn't want us attending at one point and now they exploit us for millions. HBCU's be fukkin with a nikka's financial aid though. FAMU = Funny About the Money University.

This is the point. These posters don't understand how the economy works. If Howard has Manziell and clowney and a bunch of other stars. they really think no one will watch? Will not be on TV?

HBCUs struggle now cuz they have nogting to make money
