...Due to serious criminal activity (at TA&M this time). Is anybody ever going to have the balls to make comparisons to white student athletes and the statistical comparisons that show their ability to stay out of trouble while on scholarship? The facts, percentages and other pertinent statistics, are there. Why is this overlooked? How long are we going to brush this under the table before we ask WHY and react? No more with the "years of oppression ", or "discrimination ", or "growing up in a poor and difficult neighborhood or family life"! I want some freaken accountability and answers. How long until the facts emerge and this shit is brought to the pubic that should force university presidents, AD's and coaches to do something about it.
. Why are there roughly 70% african american scholarship football players who get in notable trouble with the law compared to white student athletes? For example, Of BYU's 70 athletes suspended for honor code violations in one arbitrary year, 80% were minority. Can someone explain? EVERYDAY there is a story of an African American student athlete getting arrested around the country and suspended (until the BIG game of course.) on the ESPN college football website among others.
This is an observation, not a racist comment. I'm a black man for all you know, so don't go there. I'm just tired of my brothers getting pinched by an exponential differential, and nothing being done about it.
I want more permanent suspensions, more scholarships revoked to create a deterrent to criminal behavior or ANY university code of conduct., not just a 3-game suspension during insignificant non-conference games. I'm tired of the get-out-of-jail-free passes that college athletes get today, both black and white players, but overwhelmingly black.
These allegations against the 'A&M defensive backs were VERY SERIOUS in nature. ASJ is in that group, but of less serious nature in comparison (nobody got hurt and whites' prolly compare similarly. But come on, Austin didnt hold somebody up or rob a seven-eleven. He had a few beers. We'll see how serious TAMU and the SEC is about discipline...not very I assume, and the public, universities and fans will blow it off. (see Jordan Jefferson)
When's the last time a white college scholarship athlete like Jarrett Lee (the winning qb who lost his job to the punk Jefferson after his suspension was revoked) or any white player for that matter, beat up, then kick a guy while he was down...then regained his starting job. Les Miles lost all my respect, but Les is just an example of most college football coaches, except maybe guys like Mike Riley.

I've been the mod of my own hobby board for years. If you don't ban those guys quickly and often, this board will get out of hand.
Lol
Hope this helps.
