You know a dude named Rob that went there? Played QB a couple a season or two for them.


Honestly, I couldn't fukk w/ any of the private HBCUs here in NC.

A&T was the only HBCU I applied to in NC. Didn't finish got halfway through my jr year and realized I hated finance and the whole idea of being in business

The white backup?

When I was there, the QB was Carton. Lightskinned Omega on all the billboards

was reading the article and I don't think I've ever heard an AD give those reasons especially r/t the bball team AND before conference play

She was straight up mad at how the seniors looked their last game against Chattanooga

Why is she teflon!?





Honestly, it's over for a lot of private HBCU's not named Howard/Hampton/Florida A&M/Morehouse/Spelman. So one losing accreditation is a damn shame and low key suicidal. With the Department of Education locking down on things and the cost to attend some of these private HBCU the reward just isn't greater than the risk imo.

When I was a kid they sent us their for kiddie college.

I learned how to solder, code in visual basic, and that I wouldn't go to JCSU.

Most of the people I know that actually went far out of my class were in entertainment, law, or poli science.

Outside of that.... yeesh not that I'm any better. I got everything I needed through the military and general life experience along with my family being just smart, driven people.

I was always trying to be a writer first and foremost, but again - smart black kid trap - I was doing more community work at JCSU than anything else. Not that I regret it, I really do value that life experience from Charlotte. The good and the bad. But as a real school institution? They failed the fukk out of hundreds just at my time there.

For most of us that's college. I went to UNC, but my dad didn't go to college until my last years in high school, so we were in school together. He came up through the navy and being charismatic, but he really had no idea how I should have approached college.

He loved that I had a scholarship and played sports and he was all about that. In the summers instead of finding internships I was just waiting tables and working out and competing.

It definitely set me back years. If I had worked some internships or just worked in my field I'd have been clearing 6 in my early / mid 20s.

We live and we learn. My kids will certainly have more informed parents.

I can only imagine what it would be like headed to school with my parents lol. I think I'd love it, because they were honestly at their best when they were working and engaged rather than sitting around trying not to look in the mirror.

I would've never went to college at all if I could've helped it. I was just too damn smart for my neighborhood and my family at the time was at a huge black male crisis. I was one of two guys in my whole generation in the family able to go to school at all. Kids around my neighborhood were getting shot on the regular and Durham was going to shyt. I wanted to go straight into the military (I always wanted to as a kid, I wanted that experience and needed to see the world through those eyes). My grandma was NOT having it. This was when Iraq was popping off heavy too. She made me promise to give her at least two years in college and I wasn't going to tell her otherwise, especially right after my mom died.

So I went to JCSU. I was that kind of kid in school who'd skip every class and ace every test. My teachers knew I had no business being around any of that shyt lol. Damn near aced my SAT, got a track scholarship, ended up walking on to JCSU hoops and football for a while.

Fell in love with Charlotte I could see Bank of America stadium from my dorm window. Biggest city I'd ever been around was in walking distance.

I think if I went straight into the military I'd be straight retarded. I love the best parts of the military even now, but one thing I wouldn't have is perspective. College is full of the smartest and dumbest people you'll ever meet in your life and the first thing you realize after that is that none of that determines how successful you are.
