I think certain HBCU's are losing sight of why they were created.We're chasing sports fantasies when some of us are failing to deliver the basics.How many HBCU students are sweating in dorms without AC?

How many HBCU students right know on May 4,2008 who are graduating seniors are still dealing with ghettofied finincial aid offices to get cleared to graduate in a week or so?How many HBCU's have underfunded and or staffed science departments?Let's get those things cleaned up ,then we can chase the PWC's in the world.

As for sports until we as alums increase our giving our schools outisde the top ten or fifteen will continue this hand to mouth existance.

If that's the case then we should look at D2 and leave this Division pipe dream alone.

Man I been saying that for a long time. But pride and keeping up with the jones's will never let that happen.

i get so tired of folks saying our hbcu alumni need to give more. can someone show me some “facts” (not personal feelings) that proves this is true? can someone please provide evidence that hbcu alumni give back at a lower “rate” than pwc’s? i haven’t seen any. now if you want to argue that hbcu alumni don’t give back larger amounts than pwc’s, then i can agree with that, but that’s because white people make far more money than blacks, so they can afford to donate larger amounts. financial commitment from hbcu alumni compared to pwc alumni will never be equal. white folks collectively have more money than us. just because hbcu’s are not as financially prosperous as pwc’s does not mean hbcu alumni do not give back as frequently as pwc alumni. i get tired of folks implying that hbcu alumni don‘t do their fair share...

One look at our paltry endowments and AD budgets should provide your answer.
