They should call it the blacks are too stupid protocol.
If I was an intelligent black person, I would be pissed.
At this point what real connection do "student athletes" have with the rest of the college population? In what way should your alma mater winning a game years after you graduated have any impact on your gifting?
But evidently lots of colleges will go into debt financing their sports teams because the alumni returns make it a net profit.
Sad. Truly sad.
These policies cast a pall over the genuine achievements of black Americans. We can never know, when dealing with black professionals, if they are in their position due to Affirmative Action or excellent performance. It is very patronizing. We treat an entire race of people like pets.
