We'll see what this does. I'm all supportive of people filing complaints as should the next person if they believe that race had something to do with it. I just hope the complaints are justified and the BCA is not going to go out of line in pushing coaches to push the complaint button on coaches searches...

Black Coaches Association supports Title VII complaints
September 06, 2006
The NCAA News
The Black Coaches Association will encourage individual coaches seeking positions heading football programs to file complaints under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and also is indicating that it is prepared to file complaints on coaches' behalf, according to a report in USA Today.
The association's executive director, Floyd Keith, told the newspaper that the BCA could file complaints if "searches appear to be flawed or don't seem to be moving in an equitable manner."
Title VII prohibits intentional employment discrimination as well as practices that have the effect of discriminating on the basis of race, religion, sex or national origin.
"I think it's got some strong possibilities because it's not that much different from Title IX," Keith said. "It gives some teeth to the issue."
This fall, the BCA again will release its Hiring Report Card for Division I football and also is planning new report cards on Division I women's basketball and Division I directors of athletics.
