HBCUs and that Good SSP

February 28, 2007

Business…here’s my look at the changes in HBCU athletics.
SSP…I’m on today at 4:20 with Adam Gold on 850 The Buzz in Durham. Hit it, Ben.
SSP for the future…on Friday morning at 8:15 with Joe Ovies on 620 The Bull and later that evening on Kentucky Sports Radio with Matt Jones and Co. See, Matt, you get pub when you tell me in advance that I’m going to be on the show!
Back later.

As a Clark Atlanta University Alumni and former scholarship athlete at CAU, I could go on and one about the disparities of HBCU's in college athletics compared toi other IAA programs and DII. Alot of people I went to High School were critical about my choice to accept a scholarship at a HBCU when I could've attended a number of other schools in California on a full-scholarship with good IAA and DII Football programs (UC Davis, St. Mary's College of Moraga, Cal-Poly San Luis Obispo) but I wanted that HBCU experience in the AUC that only Clark Atlanta University could give me. The disparities have always been there and I don't really see it changing anytime soon. You really have to accept it and realize that it's truly a privilage to participate as a scholar athlete in the first place.

great read dude...glad you got the chance to rap with Kerr. He was good on the yard, but the politics and "*oonery" that exists at my beloved alma mater made him a scapegoat for the shortcomings of SU. BTW: We're supposed to be closing the end zone and adding enough seating to put Mumford over 30,000 in capacity. Construction set to start in March. That's just one of the projects that a bond proposition the university got to improve athletics and student facilities in Scotlandville..

Well, WMD, SU's cooning is MSU's gain... Now if we could just get our basketball team the right sandwiches...
