Dude did you even read the article?

Lost me at the HBCU comments turning it into a racial issue.

Hard to know what to make of that article.
I agree with the premise that to an extent, P5 athletes are cogs in the wheel to the coach / boosters ambitions. But the article also seemed like a platform to promote HCBUs as the destination for elite football players. That’s a ridiculous notion if the player has pro ambitions. HBCU are just not the same quality of football these days and they have no national spotlight. To that latter point, with likeness marketing quickly becoming a legal source of income for these athletes, HBCUs make zero sense as you will get zero exposure there.
This is mostly just a mother feeling sad about her son’s fate, and then promoting a different route that may have saved that pain without thinking through the full detriment that route may entail for a rising college athlete.

Yep, she was doing fine until she brought race into, now I think she’s just a loon.

It’s a black empowerment blog and there was nothing racist about her message. You can dismiss it, but the majority white posters on this board are not the intended audience, nor is there anything anti-white in the content. If anything, the OP shouldn’t have brought such a medium to this echo chamber.

I'd like to see what you'd say if someone linked a white empowerment blog. "Young, gifted, and White!"
