Since when? It's an institution that allows for lower-income minorities to have a better chance at earning a degree. Hard to believe less than a handful of top football players signing with one is going to break those benefits. ...
He brought in great recruits. He just had no idea what to do with them after they got to campus...
[quote]These recruits are being sold this as a way to better the black community [/quote]How is this a bad thing?...
most 18 & 19-year-olds are not developed enough to make it to the pros immediately and in baseball, most of them start off with years in the minor league. They are two completely different sports :lol:...

[quote]why not just wait and see what LSU does (who they hire)? He has 2 months to figure it out.[/quote]A lot of players are pressured to sign early so they get a spot, especially at top schools. It's not like him going to Alabama is a bad decision for him...why not lock yourself into something you...

[quote]The purpose of HBCUs is antiquated. Last I checked black players have been able to go to all universities since the early 1970s, so they should have all been shut down then.[/quote]HBCU's have a bigger purpose than football :lol:...

[quote]Other than Clemson, has this changed[/quote]Yes and while nothing major yet, we're only 1 year into NIL But go look at the Top 100 players in the country and you'll see plenty of players going to schools that they probably wouldn't have if they could only bank on chosing top team to increa...

[quote]Great for the players, but not the sport[/quote]It isn't good for the sport to balance talent out across the league? Did you guys prefer it when Bama, Clemson, UGA, and Ohio State racked up all the best recruits and were playoff locks for so many years?...
[quote]How bout letting people play wherever the frick they want to play?[/quote]Bingo...

I agree that it won't be the norm, bu...

[quote]Ok, and? That’s still 18’playera out of 32 53 man rosters.[/quote]As of today. How long has NIL been around? If other schools start getting similar publicity that larger schools always have, why wouldn't that number increase over time? [quote]The numbers show that NFL teams prefer players...
[quote]That’s why this NIL and transfer portal are a perfect storm to try to create parity in college.[/quote]What is wrong with parity in college football?...

[quote]For one thing, if these guys do start going to HBCUs they won’t have the opportunity to play in the CFB playoffs or for a major CFB National Championship.[/quote]So? What percentage of NFL players had a real shot of playing in the CFB playoffs or a National Championship?...
