Everyone now knows that
Bill Cosby is an alleged serial rapist and an
all-around sociopath, so it's not all that surprising to stumble across old newspaper articles,
like this one, which reveal that Cosby has always been a shytbag.
The Undoing of Bill Cosby

In 1989, Cosby was invited to Notre Dame to speak to a group of about 50 black graduates. While speaking with the students, Cosby asked All-American tackle Dean Brown what his GPA was. When Brown told him it was a 2.5, Cosby proceeded to humiliate him in front of the other students and parents:
"What do you think of a 2.5 average?" Cosby asked.
"I think it's decent," replied Brown, who was recently drafted by pro football's Indianapolis Colts.
Cosby snarled back: "2.5 is OK if you have a mental disorder. You should be ashamed of yourself. You should have worked harder."
Tears streamed down the 290-lbs. Brown's face as he tried to defend himself: "I worked hard. I did my best..."
But Cosby cut him short. "You didn't do enough."
It's worth noting that Bill Cosby is a college dropout who earned a
sham doctorate fromUMass Amherst after becoming rich and famous.
Brown died suddenly in 2012 after a blood clot passed through his lung. Based on this
Chicago Tribune article written shortly after his death, Brown was a good guy who was beloved by his teammates. He didn't end up playing pro football, but he did work in the education field, serving as a dean of students and a principal at schools in Washington D.C. and Cleveland. He and his brother had also planned to start a Saturday school and run a camping program for at-risk youths.
Update: Brown felt like shyt for years after this happened.

Maybe Brown misunderstood what they meant by "Graduation Bash".

Dean Brown became an incredible educator and coach after he left professional football. I had the pleasure of working at a high school with him in DC, watching him be an excellent example of a strong Black

I've known Cosby as a shytbag since the late 90s. When I was a student at Temple University, Cosby was would often show up to football games. Because of how much money he gives the school, he was basically allowed an all-access pass to Vet stadium during the games. He traipsed all over the sidelines, even sometimes on the damn field between plays (he was known to poke his head into a huddle from time to time).
I was a member of the marching band, and as we were lining up on the sideline just before halftime at one game, guess who comes stalking through our lines? Naturally, everyone is stoked. We can hardly believe our luck! It's TV's favorite dad, come to wish us well for our halftime show!
Nope.
As he filtered through the band, he was shouting "Whoa! Look at all these heifers! Where are the skinny girls at? Nothing but fat, ugly girls in this band! Why are all you girls fat? Is anyone here pretty?"
Had he come just a few feet closer, there would definitely have been an "unfortunate accident" with the bell of my Sousaphone—and his face. That man made my friends cry. Friends who went from elation (about to meet the Coz!) to humiliation and shame in just a few seconds. Not gonna lie, I was kinda crushed too. Until that day, I really looked up to him.
When Hannibal Buress called him out during his set in DC, I remember sitting back in my seat (as the rest of the audience is whipping out their phones to google it—at Buress's insistence, though I don't think meant "right that second"), and thinking that what he was saying wouldn't surprise me at all. As each new victim comes forward, it's just further confirmation of what a terrible, terrible person Cosby really is.
