Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

[TheMagnificantOne]

Yeah I mean from a gameday-Gameday atmosphere it's not the best they could do but its really cool and great for those programs and IMO great for college football. The HBCUs have a long rich history of college football and it would be cool for them to be great again.

But also its a great depiction of how underfunded and disregarded the HBCUs are. Old infrastructure and lack of a financial ability to keep up facilities and beautify campuses.

Johns Hopkins receives 7 times more research funding than all 101 HBCUs combined.

100 American universities have endowments greater than $1B.
7 HBCUs have endowments greater than $100M. None above $1B.
Non-HBCUs receive $1,600 more federal dollars per student than HBCUs do.
An SEC school can bat it's eyes and get $100M from taxpayers and donors. And HBCUs would have to have dirt on someone for half that. Not at all a political point I'm making - just the reality of the situation.

I don’t think most people realize how big of a dumpster fire Auburn is right now. Their hire is going to be very underwhelming IMO.


…..or they will wayyyy overpay for a big name that will be a big flop (that’s likely)

They need to hire Kiffin.

...way to hit and run there Dirtman. I think segregation is wrong...and that's all I'm going to say about that.

Not sure what the hit and run was. Do you think HBCUs are segregationist? HBCUs were created by black Americans to educate black Americans/freed slaves when white universities refused to admit black Americans. You don't have to be black to go there. They don't segregate black and white students at those schools. Whites get minority scholarships at HBCUs just like black Americans get minority scholarships at places like UTK.

I don’t understand the love affair

I mean depending on who gets it that’s a few months rent. I didn’t mean life-changing in the sense they’re set for life. I just mean a lot of servers struggle to get by and $1000 can provide a few months of security if you know how to budget your money.

$1000 just doesn't go as far as it once did. Look at our economy. But like I said, it's very generous of OchoCinco to do.

Inflation is a real bitch.

At a pumpkin festival in Downtown Franklin and some UGA fan just barked at me. How embarrassing for him.

Lee Corso out again for gameday....man....he's been out a lot this year....hope everything turns out good.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

GameDay making their picks. Someone is going to pick UK. I think it will be Stephen A.

 

[DarthVol1]

These SEC goobers spent 5 minutes talking about what KY has an how TN has to be careful, blah blah. Then take 20 seconds totally between all 5 of them picking TN to win. Really convinced themselves!

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

I doubt $1000 is "life-changing", but it certainly doesn't suck. It's very generous of him, tho.

Lmao...you don't think $1000 is life changing for some people in this world? What rock are you living under?

They talk about the Tennessee Kentucky game being a trap game for Tennessee with Georgia coming up. How is Florida not a trap game for Georgia with Tennessee coming up?

As for me, I would use that $1000 to pay off medical bills.

Everyone picked Tennessee. Kirk is calling the game so no pick for him.

 

[VolInDayton]

Corso will always be a legend in the college football universe, but he should have stopped 2 or 3 years ago.

Herbie WOULD have picked Kentucky haha

 

[drvenner]

Why does my cursor constantly move while typing on my phone.

Not sure, but it could be because you're drunk posting at 6:30.

In "this world"? Yes. In this country? No. It's enough to provide temporary relief, but I doubt it's going to change your life. Unless you can parlay it into even more money.

Kentucky has sealed their fate.

HBCU's are not segregated. At least a couple have higher white enrollment than they do black enrollment. HBCU is just a reference to their origins during segregation when blacks were not allowed to enroll in many "white" universities.

For example: TSU is 70% black, 16% white. UT Knoxville is 78% white and 5.5% black.
