These responses are exactly why I am ASHAMED of my people. No foresight. No planning. No unity. This is exactly why we're in the situation we're in now. You brothas have been conditioned. Even your conditioning has been conditioned.
If
my theory the facts I presented sound good in theory then it would be beautiful in reality.
But it all goes back to your conditioning. You do realize the top programs used to not allow black people to play at all right? Once they started letting them in THEN the HBCU's stood no chance. But they could have shunned the white schools then and met them on the field. That would have completely changed the dynamics of college sports. The way it is now has already been established. What I'm trying to get you c00ns to understand is that if we stayed at HBCU's after integration, guess who would have been the powerhouses. Texas with all white players or Grambling with all black players? You talk about facilities but fail to mention that one of the main reasons white schools have better facilities is BLACK PLAYERS. Take all the black players and put them at HBCU's and FAMU
dominates FSU. Southern
dominates LSU. As such, the FAMUs and the Southerns would get all those millions that the FSUs and the LSUs make off the black players.
You talk about exposure and competition. Scouts are going where the talent is. Period. If all the talent was at HBCUs, then all the scouts would be at HBCUs.
You guys are talking about 2015 as if this isn't a century old system. Of course
now it would be hard to get every black recruit to sacrifice and go to an inferior program but our failures began decades ago. This ties into that "Black People Are Cowards" thread. Insteada fighting for ours then and now, we just accept being accepted.
Like I said... 5 star thread but the c00ns are out in broad daylight.
You act like pro athletes didnt come from predominantly HBCUs in the past. And they had inferior equipment then. Would Wiggins and Parker not have been drafted if they were dropping 50 a night at an HBCU. They were the top prospects coming out of high school and nothing would have changed. Almost every game of theirs would have been televised, even at an HBCU. It would have been an enormous event. Im not even one to say its something they must do, but it would be great to see.
off the community he helped set up far longer than his playing career i.e. Magic Johnson (sometimes on a smaller level). His name will be over the head of banks, hospitals, hotels etc. and not just be a 'ball player'. We have to sell these kids the opportunity of becoming great Leaders of America...not just ball players. This is a mature approach & a cultural change that can happen if we executed it right.
