Just remember most of the time it’s not the actual school that got the bags, it’s the alumni and supporters...Some HBCU’s got the same or more rich folk with money as a number of these schools the recruits currently going to if they wanna go that route ...
which ones? Wasn’t it Grambling that had a player protest over the awful facilities they had to use?
It’s one thing to have a wealthy alumni base but it’s another to have one that actually is mobilized and motivated to compete at a high level. it’s the difference between a program like UVA and Michigan.
it be nice to see HBCU’s at least trot out NDSU caliber teams (I guess NC A&T is technically that). Those schools gaining prominence again could serve as an incubator for black coaches to get better shots at the P5 level. But’s it’s more then just the bags that are keeping quality talent from these schools, a lot of FCS facilities are trash compared to even middle of the road G5’s. I was kinda shocked when my lil bro’s friend told me how bad the facilities were at Illinois St considering they’re one of the better FCS programs around. Granted, he was a private school kid, but still.
