The Black College Football Hall of Fame has created a new bowl game called the HBCU Legacy Bowl, a postseason all-star game that will showcase the best NFL draft-eligible football players from Historically Black Colleges and Universities.

quote:

Approximately 100 of the top HBCU players will be invited to participate in the game that will take place at Yulman Stadium at Tulane University on the Saturday after Super Bowl LVI. It will be broadcast on NFL Network.

quote:

“The HBCU Legacy Bowl means opportunity and exposure for HBCU players and coaches,” co-founder and inductee Doug Williams said. “We’re excited to have this in New Orleans, especially during Black History Month.”

Isn’t it racist to not include white players? I don’t know of any white only bowls.

Not saying they do or don’t. Why can’t they play in the other 600 all star games. Why must they have a special all star game for black colleges. If someone started a white college and had a white only bowl game, we would have protest for that. It’s hypocritical.

HBCU’s don’t participate in the FCS playoffs or play other FCS teams that often. They usually get waxed in those matchups just as bad as when they play the FBS.

They’re basically a separate entity of garbage football.

Not sure why some of you have a problem with this. You are accepting of a league of HBCU, but not an all-star game for said league?

Excellent idea. We went to the Senior Bowl 6 or 7 times through my childhood. Easily, the best part was when The Sonic Boom of the South would rock Ladd-Peeble’s shite.

Almost every other college is a historically white college

That’s why they have historically black colleges

So 100 undraftable players getting in one last game? Okay I guess.

EDIT: I take that back. Maybe a handful of marginally draftable players and dozens of also-rans.

Kind of refreshing

A race-centric story that is reasonable

Kind of surprised this didn't exist already

Whether or not HBCUs have much of a place anymore is a different debate but I think it falls into the category of historical things worth preserving for historical reasons even if the conditions no longer render them particularly necessary/useful.
