Administrations and businesses never learn their lessons. Never cave in. Never. These trust-fund radicals will move on once they see you're not a pushover.

This is a no win situation for them. Choices are:

1.) Force players and open yourself up to plenty of negative recruiting

2.) Don't and lose millions

Why should the players care what the donors think? The AD should care but the donors should absolutely have no say what the players do.

Just because you’re a rich old dude doesn’t mean you get to tell a bunch of student athletes what to do. The players don’t owe the donors anything just because they are rich and donate money to the program.

Every player that walked off the field should have their scholarship rescinded and be kicked off the team.

It was all of them but Ehlinger so shut down the program I guess.

There's precedent . The Wyoming "Black 14" of 1969. Didn't turn out too great for the up & coming perennial Top 10 Cowboys program that lost 4 straight & was 1-9 the following season.



Most of these kids had no clue about this song or its meaning until they hit campus. These formerly segregated schools / traditions ( Ole Miss Rebels) certainly did not have Black students in mind.

Texas and Texas A&M have so much money they do not even need donors. It’s insane how much money those two schools have. Texas has $30 billion endowment, that’s Ivy League money. They’ll be fine no matter what.

You do realize Tigers are named after a Louisiana Civil War regiment, right? I don’t think they should change the name, but your argument lacks supportable logic.

They are trying to frick with the brand. Big money donors and most supporters aren't going to put up with it.


By the time there are any real consequences, the players will have gotten a free education, room and board from a school most of them could never have gotten into

You people sure love turning everything into a race thing.

Ehlinger was the only one that stayed out there after the game. Has more to do with Herman losing the team and their culture than it has to do with race


but but but THEY'RE THE REAL RACISTS!

Bunch of fricking sissies who melt like little bitches everything something old and racist is properly called out. I mean, how can be songs written during slavery, segregation, and Jim Crow POSSIBLY be racist? Get a fricking life. Traditions die out for proper reasons sometimes.

I know.

It's almost like the donors "own" them or something.

Mob will win out, Libtards in Austin are growing stronger. The dark side of the force is strong there.
