It's the tail that wags the dog for them. I'm not hating on them, do you.
Just don't do it on our campus.

Listening to the TIcket Sports show and hearing them read this stuff - every black athlete should transfer IMMEDIATELY. See how they like that.

We underestimate how much they wouldn't mind teams full of people who look like them and hold the same values as they do.

I agree and disagree.........only because if the black athlete goes.........so do their athletic programs and a ton of money from bowl games, etc. But you're right........there are some that wouldn't think twice about having squads that are only "them".

We can't forget how revered and powerful these programs were before widespread integration.

UT-Austin football players say they were forced to stay on field for “The Eyes of Texas” to appease angry donors and fans
The football players said the athletics officials, in a meeting with the players after the Oklahoma game, referenced emails from donors who said the protests could impact their job prospects after graduating.

This is Texas-how many majority black schools have won state titles in football?
All you see are white majority schools winning.
University of Texas could win just off of white players alone.
You better go look at who the key players are on those teams.

Texas isn't even winning with fully integrated squads so saying they would with white players alone is a lie

Volt, even white supremacist disagree with your last statement. If they felt they could get it done without us they certainly would go at it alone.

Amid 'Eyes' issues, Texas hires 1st Black director
The University of Texas has hired the first Black director of the Longhorn marching band one month after it announced the band will be required to perform "The Eyes of Texas" school song that has drawn sharp criticism over racist elements in its past.
"I am thrilled to return to my Longhorn roots at The University of Texas at Austin," Croomes said in a statement released by Texas that did not address the song controversy. "I have a long history with the Longhorn Band, and it's a dream come true to lead this program."
Ok, UT hires a black band director and he knows that he will be required to play that song. And he takes the job anyway. Ok, that's fine. So the song must not be that offensive. Black athletes are still signing to play sports at UT. I was watching the BIG XII Track and Field championships on YouTube yesterday, and those black athletes were throwing up those "hook'em horns" signs like they always do. So........
