I think they will fold Austin loves being this fake ass progressive city so you can’t have UT kill their persona, and Texas Football is trash most Black Texas HS Football stars go to Baylor or out of state, so they can’t afford to lose any talent.
Good and I am glad to hear. But they need to dead demands to donate to BLM and asking for more blacks stautues. We need some real tangibles. Tell them b*stards to donate to HBCUs, donate to develop these black neighborhoods and majority black schools where they are taking these black athletes from, tell them to increase the black enrollment at the university and hire more black professors and more black head coaches and assistant coaches for the sports teams.
These kats need to think long term how this can even impact then after they graduate or get cut.

Breh you have to remember these kids are on scholarship so they can't really threaten to not play directly. But if they stick to their stance it would bury the athletic program at UT. And let's not be quick to denounce others efforts to spark change in THEIR environment.

Breh if UT pulled their scholarship other D1 schools would be picking them up in the school parking lot. Like in the SMU days that they talk about.
Let me take a step back and recognize that these 1) just kids who 2) are being exploited and 3) threatened by admin who are dangling their scholarships over their heads.
With that said, that's why I keep pointing back to unionization. What they're trying to do isn't a simple change. Read this on the Northwestern unionization effort: https://www.si.com/college/2016/02/24/northwestern-union-case-book-indentured
Campaigns against segregationist names on college campuses have been happening foreveeeeer. They can't attack this as a student-athlete issue because it affects black workers, black professors, black teaching assistants, black students, and black parents.
What they're doing is twisting the universities arm, hoping public embarrassment will create change. They will break you to maintain their image.

Bigger story is that these kids are mobilizing to demand action. These protests are lighting fire under these kids we don’t how much this can steamroll and effect different sectors.

I like this
They are going to get all the change they ask for. The only thing they may have to compromise on is that fukking song. This will likely also inspire other student athletes at other schools to do the same or the school will try and get ahead of it. I really can't imagine the shyt show it'll be when the athletes at Bama, Ole Miss and Georgia etc do something similar.
UT will cave! Wait till this topic hits First Take & Undisputed on Monday morning. The whole country's eyes will be on this situation. This is like when the Missouri football team demanded the President fired, and the school meet their demands of change, or they wouldn't play.
You see how quick Missouri fired the President and caved to their demands? And that was Missouri.
UT is one of the top 5 programs in College Football, no way UT doesn't cave. I'm proud of these brothas mobilizing across generations and holding UT accountable.
This is what college football players should've been doing to the NCAA, DECADES AGO, demanding they got paid!
