If you claim top black athletes should go to HBCUs you better be in here:Texas Southern@FAMU Thread

Y'all keep parroting this..

40-50 years ago, HBCU's were where nearly all of the black talent was.... it wasn't too hard to find.


HBCU players are making the league are lower amounts every single year..... each one that makes it is a outlier.

The fact that y'all still talking about how things were in back in the day should let y'all know something.

The majority of HBCU's would probably fair better by downgrading to D2 ball... they'd probably wouldn't have to send their players to get embarrassed on saturday nights just for a check to keep the program afloat.

You never addressed my point.

HBCU players make up less amount of NFL players because HBCU attract less amount of elite talent to begin with. If a player has NFL level talent then NFL scouts aren't going to ignore that.

I never said that currently HBCU's currently have the most "freakish" athletes and coaching and facilities don't mean shyt if you don't have top talent; that's why they spend all that money on bells and stuff to begin with. Anyway, there are plenty non power five conference players in the NFL so that still nullifies your argument.

No it doesn't. Most of the players that play for HBCU's are there because they weren't recruited by Top tier division 1 teams, It's a huge gap in talent between a team like Howard and a Houston and BYU

My baby moms brother in law went to FAMU and played a few years in the NFL

 

[Larry Lambo]

FAMU tried to do that nearly 15 years ago and damn near killed their Football program in the process.

They weren't ready.

A school has prepare for that move for several years and have sufficient funding and facilities to make it happen.

A HBCU would legit need hundreds of millions of dollars to really make that leap.

Can you read? You're arguing something I've never stated.

I was never referring to current HBCU roster players; you telling me if Julio Jones plays for Hampton he doesn't get a look from NFL scouts?

i wish a hbcu school would get major funding for their athletics an then move up to d1

Closest thing to that is Tennessee State. They're in the Ohio valley instead the SWAC or MEAC

first time I recall seeing a white QB on an HBCU, I was in 6th or 7th grade.

like 20 years ago.

Jackson State had a white QB like 5 or 6 years ago..Casey Therroux or something like that. He transferred there from a white school after getting in legal trouble cause he was in a bar fight and his friend ended up killing someone. (If I remember correctly)

He dated that Brittney Renner chick. This was before she blew up, but she was dating a star white QB at a HBCU so she had a small following. They used to be all on IG together.

That's why I always laugh when cacs & c00ns say something about HBCUs when they have no idea about them. Non blacks at HBCUs are always popular as fukk
