Missouri Football Players Go On Strike To Force Removal Of School President

I said this in the NBA thread.

If a ton of 5 and 4 star prospects teamed up at HBCUs it would turn college basketball upside down. It's also viable because the big shoecompanies already sponsor HBCUs and the networks would easily pay for the rights to broadcast the games so the only groups that would lose money here is the Duke's, UNC's, Kentucky's, etc.

These schools also mostly play in the same conferences too so the competition level would be SKY HIGH and nobody would give two ***** about watching the ACC, SEC, etc.

Those good ole boys would be livid.

Football would take years due to the infrastructre involved but if 5-6 top 10 HS recruits went to say Howard they could shake things up in one year, being that as long as you win your confrence in d1 hoops you get a trip to the big tourney.
 
:lol: Damn they didn't feel like talking it over and how they plan to deal with the issues? I think they missed the point of the protest.
Their first demand was for Wolfe to resign.

I get that, just hope it's not one of those situations where they do this just to keep the noise down, then continue as usual. Being so quick to do this, that's what it feels like.

The kid hadn't eaten in a week. He was gonna die if something wasn't done this week. But I hear you though.
 
Glad to see the protest/strike actually worked.

Hopefully their other demands are met and this isn't the only change happening.
 
thing im most puzzled by is the description of racist events that occurred on campus. If these were lone wolfe(pun) attacks, how does a university counter these type of actions from a policy stand point?

You can of course be proactive, which im sure will be the first result to come out of this. But if something else pops off, where does the accountability fall?

How can the university protect itself and how can the students have expectations met if something else occurs?

I don't think all the specifics are out there but from my understanding you had racists actions happening and little to nothing was being done about it. You have students committing hate crimes on campus you need to expell them immediately, especially at a publicly funded institution. Not sit on your hands and hope it goes away. University can't stop the ignorant from being ignorant but they can certainly let it be know what will be tolerated and what wont. I bet you expell a couple kids and the rest will, at the very least, keep their hate to themselves.

I don't think there needs to be a discussion about school policy when it comes to feces swastikas. It should be pretty clear that someone who does that does not belong at any university.

Yea anything less coming out of this will be very disappointing. Cant even believe they would really take no action at all in the past smh.

I just dont want the students to feel like they are continuously let down by the administration and that the pinnacle of their efforts were ousting the school president.

Like some local rednecks can be pissed off and come do something foul on campus as a response to all of this and then where do we go from here?

The university needs to be very vigorous in any action that they take going forward but at the same time I wonder how the students will prepare to handle things if the environment doesn't immediately get better.
 
What they should do is come on home to the SWAC or MEAC. HBCU is the way to go. Support your black colleges instead of giving these white racists your money. I mean they only let you go to their school in the 1st place because  they found a way to profit off of you. What good is getting rid of the president going to do?  All they're going to do is replace him with somebody that acts just like him.

:lol: Is that right? ****** facilities that the the administration doesn't care about. Grambling players boycotted because the facilities and equipment were so bad and run down that players were getting staph infections.

If anything, Wolfe's firing will go on to show how useless college presidents are and how there are too many administrators involved at the university level.

You do know grambling doesnt rack in millions to have state of the art facilities right? You do know talent coming back could bring the schools money right?

Like the person above said these schools don't have the money for new equipment. Look at the number of people that show up to HBCU football games. Those stadiums be damn near empty because the students/fans don't have much to cheer for. All of the talented black athletes are running to the PWIs because they're promised an easy trip to the pros. There's a reason why a lot of people say "halftime is gametime" at HBCUs. The only real talent on those fields are the marching bands. Look at how the HBCUs have get their ***** whooped at the beginning of each season by these powerful teams in the SEC/ACC so they can have some money to do stuff.

Get these talented black athletes to care about these schools & you will start to see people toss money their way so they can have better facilities/equipment.

Without the top talent the money, sponsorships and attention isn't there ...you get the players to come then all that other stuff will follow , you think some of these schools the players go to now started with big sold out stadiums n crazy fan bases ? :lol:

You do know gambling had a million dollar facility for the athletes? That was built about five years and Doug stuck his neck out for the college and the athletes to get the extra dough. Gambling is just lazy and backstabbers.
 
raising football ticket prices at HBCUs when Alumni barely give back as it is?

People only go to SWAC games for the band anyway. Dont see the idea of star athletes "coming back home" gaining any type of traction.

Hmmmmm I think the administrators will still have their hands in the cookie jar. Need something ground breaking to happen before saying majority of the athletes should go to HBCUs. Also not all HBCUs have the major the studenst wants/the staff combination.
 
Kids that want to get paid to play college sports don't need to be a student athlete. Take the B Jennings route
 
Why wasnt the University of Missouri President taking the students complaints more seriously in the first place?

Probably the same reason no one takes these race threads on nt seriously. There seems to be the notion that everything race related is a result of black people being a bunch of overly sensitive whiners. I guess it's easy to look the other when when it doesn't concern you and yours.
 
Appropriate response to a swastika written in Feces in a dorm is what?

Appropriate response to a white man calling a group of black kids slurs is what?

If the administration couldn't even at the least acknowledge and apologize for this happening on their campus then that is a freaking problem.

But also if its evidence that they didnt even bother to interview dorm residents on some steez asking what did you see... or if anybody in the hall gave you the impression they would conduct this type of act... or even look at some video with the campus police department then they are a joke of an administration.

if homecoming was the last straw, it was the last straw. Administration could have avoided this even if they felt like it was nothing they really could do.
 
read some of the demands ..

wut da hell :lol:

just me but i think they're going after the wrong person ...

this sets a precedent ...

VW ceo likely didn't know about the fraud yet he still stepped down. If u are the head of an organization and some shady **** goes down you are responsible. If he was completely innocent and unaware that means he wasn't doing his job very well.
