So she prefers the "separate but equal"? I guess that's okay if it's by choice.

"She seems hyper focused on race" — not familiar with Jemele Hill, eh?

I think the demise of HBCUs is unfortunate. Would be nice to see them brought in as an extension of larger schools. I’m

I don't think she's old enough to identify any existing colleges as"White"

Blue Ghost

She's a hypocrite. She graduated from Michigan State University

Are there even enough scholarship positions for all of them at HBCUs?

I first read url as "theathletic.com" and thought "oh please no"

Such a weird position. Civil Rights leaders of the 50s and 60s+ have to be scratching their heads.

maybe we should start with separate restrooms and drinking fountains

College athletes (regardless of race) are “uncompensated”? Good one.

OP said "paid". Players do get some benefits, but they don't get their true market value

Thanks! I stand corrected.

NFL could create a development league for ages 18-20

I can see the argument that some regulation is needed to keep the sport competitive.

Many professional leagues impose caps on player salaries, but I don’t

garyfan

9/5/19 8:57pm

You're missing the part where college players don't have salaries. If they did, and they could do something

No, you’re demanding consistency at the college ranks (i.e., if player comp is

No, you clearly misread my post. If you don't want to remove the extreme restrictions on player earnings,

I get it. But you only suggest that in CFB.

garyfan

9/5/19 9:27pm

My suggestion is conditional on CFB choosing to keep the absurd restrictions that are in place now.

9/5/19 9:37pm

Yes, that makes sense. But all of these arguments could be made about the NFL.

it would be strange if every student athlete took her up on this

See now I'm thinking about all kinds of jokes about the different divisions

mik3

I think she's mistaken if she thinks the money black athletes bring in at "white" universities would follow them to HBCU

Her message should be to the alumni of those schools to increase donations.
