Could you imagine if the Fab Five or the 1990-91 UNLV team decided to go to Howard or Morehouse instead. Talk about Black Excellence :ahh:

I never understand the weird sense of entitlement people create for HBCU's. Like top athletes are doing those schools dirty by not going there.

If you're an athlete with dreams of making it to the big leagues you'd have to be a moron to go to an HBCU. Look at the current makeup of the NBA/NFL. How many of them players come from small schools? Let alone a HBCU.

Dudes don't got time to try and be revolutionaries and change the way things are when million dollar professional contracts are on the line. They don't owe HBCU's anything so it makes no sense to take the risk of attending one.

because its just another reformed way of saying:

"you're a sell out for not staying/coming back to the hood"
"black ppl don't support their own"

seriously just go back through this thread and re read it from a community living aspect as opposed to JUST school

waddup bruh? (Rey Negro - IC :smugdraper:)

basically. i go to an HBCU & i still wouldn't go to one if i was a 5 star recruit. You got to go to whatever school would give you the best chance of being successful. Sadly, it creates a cycle. HBCUs will never be shyt sportswise because they don't have the funding. And they'll never get the funding because they're shyt sportswise. Still...........it would be a thing of beauty if a handful of star recruits decided to attend one of the top black schools.

:cheers: what it is family

we :win: out chea! lol

but nah you're absolutely right....hbcu's get killed with funding

but a lot of it comes from the fact that they don't have the big power legacy alumni to help with funding either

I think we all would agree that it would be a thing of beauty to one day see the top athletes do a fab 5 for an hbcu

I find it sad that some of the larger HBCU's can't be a decent mid major
Wofford which is smaller than the fukking high school I went to gave several big programs problems

glad you made it over bruh :cheers:

it doesn't help when alumni do donate & the funds aren't allocated correctly. dissuades them from doing it again. our dean made $800,000 last year, president of the hospital made $1.2 million & some members on the board made in excess of $500,000 yet the school had to shut down on spring break because they couldn't foot the electricity bill :dead:

If you were a top recruit, why would you go to an HBCU?

to make em mad :yeshrug:

[HALFTIME of Under Armour All-Star Game]
ESPN reporter: "So PCP you're the top prospect in the nation. People are predicting you will change the game of college football as we know it. You're from Alabama do you stay in state and choose the Tide or Tigers or do you go elsewhere?"
PCP: "Well Mr. White reporter man it's been a tough decision. I've been to all the top schools, slayed all the top PAWGs, and visited the very best business and economic schools :scheme: and I have made my decision..."
* puts Auburn, Alabama, LSU, USC and Georgia hats on table
ESPN reporter: "Who will it be? The nation wants to know."
PCP:*knocks hats off the table
"fukk them crackas black power bytch! :pacspit: I'm goin to Southern!"
White people everywhere: :ohhh::merchant::ooh::scusthov::why::sadcam:
PCP: :umad:
