Why wont all the black players go to the black schools in college?

[phillycavsfan]

of course right now bama looks beautiful...but ten years down the road, if all the blacks stick to the program we would have better then that, because we would have the money they are getting now

White Bama boosters will never pay for Alabama A&M facilities. Not even if every black person transferred tomorrow. You guys are living in a pipe dream.

One of the biggest problems HBCUs have is that their alumni don't give back enough to their alma mater.

I'm not so sure man. Simply being a big fish in a little pond is exposure right there. True, it may open you up for more dissection, but that's a byproduct of the increased exposure.

I was going to bring him up in my other post, but I felt it was an outdated reference. Steve McNair, he went to Alcorn State, dominated in his time there and was a 1st round pick. I'm sure there were the same concerns you bring up, but he came to the NFL and balled. There are always a few guys that slip thru the cracks and end up at smaller schools and see pro success.

Like @mozichrome said football is different than basketball, but say a McDonalds AA went to an HBCU for one year, for ex. my alma mater NC Central. We play a few ranked schools and BCS schools during our OOC schedule. With ESPN3, ESPNU, and internet streaming, there's ways to watch those games. You're not necessarily toiling in anonymity. Pull off a win or two against those schools, dominate the conference, get tho the Dance with a seed higher than 15 and you've got a ton of exposure. Talent is talent, I can't really accept the exposure excuse.

Steve McNair was one in a million in a very time than now. Think of where all of the black QBs currently in the league played. Almost all were out of top schools and I don't see that stopping anytime soon.

Basketball is different. Smaller teams get way more exposure and can compete with larger ones in many cases so you would be correct in that instance.

That and the alumni don't have close to the same type of resources.

Why would they lower their chances of success just to attend a HBCU that doesn't give a shyt about the players or facilities. They should go to these schools, say fukk their ambitions, and sign up because everyone there is black? Man come the fukk on

nikkas are always trying to tell other nikkas what to do and how they owe the overall community a cut or some shyt. Man let these kids live

the exposure would be there, but the talent level breh. yeah you dominated, but you dominated in whatever division NC Central plays in

why not shake up the system? if a recruit is they dope, people will want to see him.

In college you root for the laundry. Simply put the fanbases would never be big enough to attract the kind of attention a kid will want. Besides, that player would play shyt competition all season and no one would take him seriously.

Delaware State's endowment in 2012 was 17 million. If the University of Delaware (1.09 billion) did that IN A WEEK there would be serious cause for concern.

Cause all black schools don't have the money and there are middle schools that'll put their weight rooms to shame.

they would get the money if they went to the schools people would pay to see top talent. the Product is the key...not the brand. Everyone in business knows this except us (black folks)

OP this is something I've discussed but folks refuse to listen to the plan. It is a must happen scenario now

I've shared my vision on here a lot already. Most people ignore it because it does sound like a pipe dream but I believe it can be done. Not sure if its a 10yr plan though

1. Recruit top athletes to HBCU's. Have them establish relationships/networking with peers. Guys like Bdizzle & BlackKing. Once they enter NFL/NBA etc. set aside an allocated amount of funds into a pool with other black athletes. This decreases risk of investment. Use that money to start businesses in inner-city communities. i.e Banks, Grocery stories, apartments, Construction companies etc. Hire guys like Bdizzle & BlackKing to be the CEO of their business while they remain sole owner. The HBCU's responsibility, teach the incoming students about their REAL history, promote ownership, community, and healthy competitive balance between communities & train them for jobs that are open in their communities. The students responsibility is to become an OUTREACH force that sets up training for vo-tech centers, and skills for out of work blacks in these areas..for the low to mid-level entry positions or how to migrate else where and start over where their skills are needed.

2. Expansion. This will start very small...like one strip mall, then one block, then one side of the city, then the entire city, then Move on to the NEXT City. Once, the athletes start making money long after their career is over. This will spread on to the Top tier athletes who don't go to HBCU's. After the top tier Athletes are recruited into the pool. The entertainers & musicians are then recruited...and then top black politicians and it becomes mainstream.

3. Why Athletes are important. The McNair Model is the example I used because as a young kid from very humble beginnings & him being around my way. Seeing that guy come from nothing to ESPN, Sports Illustrated, ABC, Heisman canidate, and highest Black QB ever drafted showed me how much power they have & what's been taken from us. All of that 'attention' could be used to help black people who work at the HBCU's and increases prestige of the schools because people are being put to work once they graduate. That type of word spreads like wild fire. We could set up all types of advertisements, TV shows, networks, radio station all built around this. The only way Blacks should allow their child to go to PWC's is if they are paid & or brought up out of poverty. Its too much money being made off of them for black kids not to be benefiting from this.

5 star thread turned c00n thread and I don't need to read one reply.

Just some quick points though...

1) If they ALL did then the "elite" comp would be at HBCU's.

2) If they ALL did then the money would flow to those schools.

Sorry, I can't devote too much energy into threads like this.

So exactly what would you do to make ALL blue chip recruits of the 2015 class bite the bullet and go to HBC's?
"You might not get too many scouts to see your games, your training is gonna be a step above rec center, but on the bright side I won't call you c00ns"

what exactly are you selling the recruit on? the facilities might not be up to par. so i guess education? welp some these kids not trying to get that much an education. they want to get to the nfl & going to college for 3 years is the way they do it.
now this recruit these 5 star kids stuff. say you luck up and can sell the dream to 1. 1 is not enough to turn your program around. so after what 3 years, 4 if a kid really like it there your program is right back where you started.....having to sell the dream and hope just hope 1 more would come

Exactly.

No one value opinions like his in real life. It doesn't work that way in the real world.

Walk up to people and call them a c00n and see what happens.

It is about exposure though. In the meantime where's everyone when HBCU's are on TV? When BET was showing their games way back when nobody watched. Nobody pats attention now. That pride ain't gonna keep you at home on a Saturday afternoon watching HBCU sports.
