Especially if you haven't been officially hired yet.Wow...didn't see that coming in all honesty...curious what the back story is here. Note to future employees, don't go on social media and flame your new company.
This will probably be called racist, but it's true ... HBCUs are anachronisms that really have no place in modern society. They were absolutely necessary in the days of segregation, when the southern state institutions would not allow African-American students to enroll (can you imagine? What a stain on those schools and states; what a disgrace). Back then, HBCUs had stellar faculties, quite often extremely well-educated Jewish professors who too were unable to get the work they should have at state institutions. But since the 70s, when integration finally occurred, HBCUs have been chronically underfunded and have faculties and facilities that do not measure up to the standards necessary for higher education. In a perfect world, HBCUs would be phased out. Of course, that will never happen.
Now, commence to attack. But when you do so, point out what I said that is inaccurate.
Ed Reed spoke his peace. I guess if he wanted a job that bad he should’ve waited until the contract had the dried ink on it. I don’t think what he said was wrong. I also think that these colleges and universities that were set up for a historically needed reason, and still exist, albeit under different circumstances, have a role in society today. But the underfunding of them from the communities from the government from alumni from those who espouse the ideals that these schools were set up for is very sad. I remember growing up, always hearing the phrase put your money where your mouth is. There’s a lot of people who just like to run their mouth, but they don’t back it up with actions including dollars. best of success to Ed Reed, wherever he goes next. Hopefully this university can find a coach who is willing to put up with what the school has created.

My guess...attention is one thing but they did not want that type of attention knowing that it would, in the end, do nothing to bring them more revenue.Wow...didn't see that coming in all honesty...curious what the back story is here. Note to future employees, don't go on social media and flame your new company.
I agree and if you are the admins...there is no way you see that and go "Oh, that was awesome of him"Best not to have tape on these pure raw emotions. Not sure he isn’t spitting 100% truth but the method hurts more than helps.
Why would they still not help?Wow. If this follow-up story is true, Bethune Cookman really shot themselves in the foot. If this story is true, I am guessing a dozen other HBCU will be contacting Ed Reed real fast. Dude uses bad language a lot and seems to really hate the blood sucking powers that be. He also seems to really have the players best interests at heart. It might be interesting to see where this goes.

They want their guy running it right is my guess. Perhaps they think the exact way Reed thinks. Politically speaking, maybe they don't like the swamp attitude he was talking about in his trash video. They collect money with no interest at all in ever improving the place. In the capitalist world, that is a losing business. Keep throwing money at the kind of biz that keeps losing money. They probably were smart enough to not just throw money at a sinking ship.Why would they still not help?
Let’s just hope trev and Rhule are trump supporters so we don’t deal with those messes amirght?They want their guy running it right is my guess. Perhaps they think the exact way Reed thinks.

*actually this story and Deion telling the exact story about Jackson State is a perfect metaphor for every left run city. They are all the same story. Over and over. Collect tax money with ZERO interest in ever improving the place. Reed and Deion both literally told the exact same story. Eddie George joined in and mentioned how Tennessee used those buildings for training camp and nothing had changed. Disgusting conditions that never improve.
Let’s just hope trev and Rhule are trump supporters so we don’t deal with those messes amirght?
Glad to see that now former coach Reid was not just running his mouth, but putting in the legwork to find some people who would help the institution. I do hope that there are other schools that will contact coach and if nothing else, maybe some of those investors will work with those other schools, no matter if he becomes their football head coach or not. The better the education, usually means the less of the indoctrination of making education worse and therefore those young men and young women and our society as a whole.Wow.

Same type of thing going on in Bolder with the coaching grandstanding starting right after the coach says, “OK, you filming this? I’ll start…”True. But going off on them on social media with a profanity laced tirade isn’t a good way to handle it.
Which is weird because he looks like he's homeless.The man's got some OCD for being tidy, thats for sure.
Dont really feel strongly about HBCUs either way, but…Sometimes people want to be around their own. It's how it was explained to me by a buddy I coached with. He basically said it's a white man's world and I am going to live in it my whole life. If I can give me 4-5 years around "my people" to bond and whatnot. I get it. Lots of education is from a Euro centric view. Being educated from an AA point can also be beneficial.
Probably except white people are more than welcome to apply and enroll in HBCU's if they want. Nothing exclusionary there. I think many look at HBCUs as a more welcoming option to PWI's.Dont really feel strongly about HBCUs either way, but…
If a white man/institution said “sometimes people want to be around their own” to justify excluding black members to be around “my people”, it would not be racist either, correct?
Or is this another one of those double standard situations we’re all supposed to just accept or else we’re somehow horrible people?
They should put da money into English classes.
Ironic.They should the money into English classes.
I'm gonna call bullsh*t on this story. The idea of "billionaire investors" is being floated out there, but I'm gonna say it's more likely a few millionaires making promises that they weren't going to keep. Just a couple "has been" pro athletes exaggerating their own importance and influence.Wow. If this follow-up story is true, Bethune Cookman really shot themselves in the foot.

Hall McCrae had a pretty good tirade too.
Didn’t he heave his desk phone and it actually hit a reporter or something?Hall McCrae had a pretty good tirade too.
Wait...are they protesting about the conditions of a place that they applied to, got accepted to and then picked to attend?
Does your car payment have dangerous mold?Wait...are they protesting about the conditions of a place that they applied to, got accepted to and then picked to attend?
That is ballsy! Haha.
I am gonna go protest my car payment.
With that said...those admins have clearly been abusing the money they get for years now.
