Just take a look at this!
$$$.
Southern region is notoriously poorer than other regions in the country. NIL is a game-changer. Follow the money.
Doubt. The South being, uh…politically unfriendly to some folks isn’t a super recent development.
I think maybe economics more than politics. Don’t see how segregation played a role to benefit the SEC. Maybe I’m naive.
That said, Coach Yeoman shared stories with me about how deep segregation was in the SEC. I’m convinced Warren McVea fell down on the way to a touchdown (I think against Ole Miss) because of death threats but that’s just an opinion and I digress.
Solution? Minnesota has a city named Houston. We move our school to the Midwest. Instant success!
I don’t know, I feel like its getting worse. My mom grew up during segregation and then through the Civil Rights movement and integration, and she said its scary to her.
No segregation hurt SEC football, and helped BIG/Notre Dame (plus UCLA basketball). It also helped schools like UH and UTEP, who, while in Southern states, did not follow the bigger state schools in refusing to integrate even though there was no law against it.
That’s so 40 years ago. Now, if you want to continue this BS, you should take it elsewhere.
Well you know where you can go, and it ain’t to Waffle House.
Also, since you seem to have trouble with simple math, segregation officially ended in the 50’s, which was over 60 years ago. In fact, Brown v Board was decided in 1954, or a little over 70 years ago. However, the CRA was not passed until 1964, which outlawed segregated public accommodations and other facilities.
I do know where I can go, I am going to the game tonight.
Don’t forget your hoodie
There’s a difference in where the top athletes are from and where they go to school.
I saw a recent graphic highlighting the birth place of four and five star athletes.
High per capita concentration in the former slave states. Also states that rate poorly in public education. Rich people there go to private schools though.
And they leave those places after they graduate from college.
Many leave for college and don’t go back. Why not athletes?
The train is never late. There’s death, taxes and hit dogs are going to holler.
Some argue differently as integration killed certain segments of society once everyone started chasing the so called American dream
You had more pride in your community then - HISD is a prime example
LOL, 40 years ago was 1985…haha.
I mean, wasn’t that around the time the Klan had that bookstore in Pasadena?
Ha ha, facts. I remember watching a Marvin Zindler story on Channel 13 about that.
Why are you trying to stir up racial strife. Politics are not allowed on here.
Bringing up Marvin Zindler is racist?
