Breh,

How many kids does Texas A&M sign this year that were 3-5 stars??
And those kids are housed on top of other 3 - 5 star upperclassman. Youre asking a program to be built by 3 -5 star freshman. That program wont see results for three years. The first batch of kids will have to be willing sacrifices for those behind them so those behind them can be built upon them. Thats asking a lot.

This.

Honestly, even if HBCU's were to proactively upgrade their facilities to the level of the top programs in the country, I still doubt players would make the switch b/c of the difference in visibility (ESPN, ABC, CBS, Fox are all locked into contracts with these major conferences) and simply because they've been engrained since their youth that making it to these PWI's are the pinnacle of amateur athletics.

So $$$ will not solve this dilemma. It's going to take something called SACRIFICE for there to be change. Our ancestors had it but the concept seems to be lost now as evidence by some of the defeatist posts in this thread. Everybody is out for self instead of the collective.

Black people aggressively promoting this “nah, white schools have better facilities and pawgs, don’t go to no hbcu for a year”

:dead:

What HBCU did she graduate from?

Then you got the smart guys comparing one and done revenue generating athletes to students :dead:

And they actually think they’re making logical points :dead:

Y'all gonna have to make up your mind as to if government matters or not.

This is a political and fiscal issue.

Everything can't be looked at in a Dr. Umar Schhol for Boys lense.

HBCU's can't even hold a candle to the damn locker rooms at some of these PWI's.

Looking at everything as an identity issue gets us nowhere.

Texas A&M has always been a powerhouse is what you're saying?? They've always had 4-5 stars walk into their program is what you're saying??

What’s even funnier is a lot of these high school d1 athletes come from predominantly white high schools/ private schools so they’re already predisposed to going to PWI’s over HBCU’s.

The number 1 overall pick Kyler Murray went to a high school that was 54% white.

Lol @ sacrifice

As if going to a HBCU school is death :mjlol: Most of the players playing at HBCUs are having a time of their lives



What are these sacrifices that they are missing out on, besides having a whirlpool, and being on CBS and ABC and playing in front of cacs :mjlol:

Yeah some of these posts are embarrassing

These “niccas” in here don’t be around black people

Youre not getting it.

Lets do a yes or no thing...

  1. When would a football program with no 3-5 star upperclassmen see the positive results signing ten 3-5 star freshman? Immediately or down the road?
  2. If you say immediately...well...youre a fool. I dont believe youre a fool. You know football good programs arent built off the backs of freshman. Theyre built off the backs of those freshman eventually becoming good upperclassmen. So with that said, those incoming Freshmen going to the program as the first batch of 3-5 star players will have to accept that they wont see the results of their collective signings having positive results until 2 to 3 years down the road. Those kids will have to be willing to sacrifice their futures, likely not going to the next level as a result of their sacrifices, with hopes that other 3-5 star players are willing to follow behind them.
Thats a hard sell.

One thing I can tell yall about my time at OU, there were a lot of BUMS who play Div I that are hot garbage. Pure hot garbage. I dont know how some
of them made the team. :scust:
