schools at all. *smirk* xbowx D-I FCS student-athletes are not 4*/5* TAGers who have the [mental] wherewithal to comprehend when they are being... used. :D

Chancellor: CU’s black athletes say they’re part of “The Plantation”


SILVERTHORNE — Some black student athletes on the University of Colorado’s Boulder campus call the Dal Ward Athletic Center “The Plantation” because their performance on the football field and on the basketball court helps pay for white athletes to play other sports, like golf and tennis.

Apparently these worldly players havent figured out the economics of revenue generating sports vs non revenue sports and how that works and has nothing to do with racism.
Then it morphs in to subconscious bias?

What a bunch of flatulating B---S---!

Victims, always victims.

Victims, always victims.

So I guess with the blacks leaving the FB and BB teams it looks like the white players are paying for the blacks to be on the track teams and baseball etc etc etc.

Yep, those student-athletes are pretty dumb. Bitch about the situation but still attend. How dumb. I took GREAT pleasure turning down 100% of those former offers to be used. Most thought me crazy @ 17 for turning those d-1 offers down but they did not possess my intell at that time & prolly still don't, if they are still alive.

Thats a heck of a fapping session you got going there.xlolx

But I must say the ignorance, thought process and bias shown by the players and your post is absolutely astounding.

Nothing new here. Sociologist Harry Edwards has been referring to collegiate revenue sports as a plantation system since the 1960's. He called for players to organize and negotiate with universities to share the revenue generated by their sport, striking if necessary to achieve 'justice.'

I thought Edwards had a valid argument back then. It was an era in which athletes were allowed to enroll in one easy course after another until their eligibility expired and they left school without a degree in hand. NCAA rules changes requiring an athlete to declare a major and demonstrate progress toward a degree, raising entrance requirements so that a student athlete has some reasonable prospect of graduating, and more recent "full cost of attendance' rules adequately address these grievances imo.

The concept of profitable programs subsidizing unprofitable programs is not unique to sports. Universities operate on the principle of shared revenue. Popular majors that generate lots of tuition dollars subsidize less popular, low revenue programs. "Indirect" costs built into research grants are redirected to other areas of the university budget. I'm sure there are other examples unrelated to race or sports but these two serve to illustrate the point that this is an economic and budgetary issue, not a sign of racial oppression.

Cringe. The truth hurts, obviously.

So if hockey generated income that funded the basketball team in a similar manner, would you feel the same way?

Come on...go for the jugular. Mandate racial quotas for the "revenue" sports and make white boys "join" the plantation....also eliminate Title IX to shed the dead weight non-revenue women's sports. Eliminate the minimum # of sports required to qualify as a DI program to further the cuts.

or not. No one is making you stay. If that is a plantation, I've got bad news for them when they enter the real world/workforce.

+1. No one but their mentally limited mindset is forcing them to stay and start a bitchfest on how they perceive themselves. All hot air and zero action. To call them mentally slow would be to give them the greatest compliment they would ever receive.

I don't have the answer, Thump. I never attended as I respectfully declined every D-I/D-II then i-A/i-aa offer I received as a 17 y/o. I knew the game early on and sought not to participate in it. I was far far removed from being looked upon as dumb ala Dexter Manley et al fine examples of stupidity and abusive use. :)

You'll have to query those who are actively participating in it or have participated in it how they would feel w/ that scenario.

Ive actually seen how this supposed plantation-exploited mind set works in real life in a real athletic dept and the ramifications.
At the University of Iowa they had a black boycott in 68-69. What caused it? The President of the black student organization put the idea of white slave owners still running the plantation and black athlete as the slaves in the heads of some black players. (Even though there were more whites on the team.) The Pres convinced the black players that they should present a list of demands(that he wrote up--one being that the athletic dept---football would donate money for a house so the blacks on campus would have a place to meet. I guess the student union was too white) Of course this turned in to a big fiasco even though the dept agreed to some of the demands.. With the coach getting fired. Rehired. The blacks boycotting the team even though most didnt want to but did due to peer pressure.. The blacks being kicked off the team. The blacks then realizing that the President of the black organization was using them. (imagine that) So they try and return to the team. But they first have to be voted on individually by the rest of the team. Some were allowed back. Others werent. Careers were ruined, dreams dashed, There was great hurt and division, palpable animosity between players, lack of unity, and it took the athletic dept 10 years to right the ship.

If social media would have been around at that time not one recruit from our class would have gone there. Yep--thats the situation I walked in to.
So I am appalled that some take pleasure in an antiquated plantation thought process that they are accusing other of just to stir the pot or an agenda.. And you wonder why stereo types are hard to break?. JFC.

Why would any allegedly sane black student/student-athlete want to voluntarily attend a school where there is a "black student union" or any other segregated university supported entities?" xsmhx

Senseless. More dumb than dumb.
