:ohhh::ohhh::ohhh: u know how much money his could generate for black schools if a bunch of nikkas followed suit :whoo:

swag surfing

the majorettes

the frats and sorors :whoo: whole event
But....but...but the facilities at the predominantly white schools are so advanced. :troll:

This is good. It is going to take time but if this occurs more often then these schools will be able to build.

I placed seeds in my little ones already about HBCUs right now they want to attend NC A&T and Howard.

I been waiting for something like this to happen. Hopefully it causes a domino effect and other brehs follow suit. Why bring all that talent to a PWI who who only give a fukk about how much money you can generate them when you can go to a HBCU where they actually care? You can hoop and dominate the competition and they will still make you go to class
:wow:

This the age of the internet, you don't need coach k or any of these D-1 schools. If NBA scouts can find cacs in Lithuania and all these other countries, they can find players at Howard, Hampton, etc

Edit- I would play for Penny though

Esp if you’re one of those cats that mfs know are going pro

@Get These Nets it don't stop here brotha.

We also need to have regular black folks young and old to financially support Howard athletic program. So that means buying tickets to the games, beating on ESPN and CBS to broadcast the games. Donating money to the program aka boosters, buying Howard merchandise and jerseys.

We can't put it all on the players. Its takes all of us to do our part so it won't just be maker but other kats too.

Also lets be real Maker is the cousin of Thon maker so his family might not need financial help like other players. So it may have been easier to make this decision. But most players families need help. Gonna be hard for a player and his family to turn down a 100k advisement funnelled their way from a big time PWI school than say a small HBCU that can't offer the same. So in the end Howard and other HBCUs need money and financial support for their athletic programs and thats where us regular black folks come in.

I also have argued that HBCUs would be better to just target the kids of these current and former NBA players. Cause from a financial standpoint they are set. And aren't in need of the money. Like Wade, Lebron and Hakeem sons I would be targetting them and saying hey with this climate and your social activism this would be perfect for your sons to come here.

The NCAA tournament is about to become more interesting in the near future. I hate that Covid will affect March Madness next year, but if this continues watch out March Madness.

Factor in players going to the NBA G league..


We're gonna see Morgan St. vs. Texas Tech in final four
