All the schools in my old hometown that were named for Confederate Hero’s have been changed.
Bowie is the only one that’s not been renamed.
Guess the school board there is too dumb to know he was supposedly a slave trader. 🤪

Biggest lying POS ever in football, college or pro.



Slaves get what they need. Free men get what they want.

Rehabilitation is way overrated.

I can't believe that anyone could have possibly been stupid enough not to see this coming with the emancipation of the athlete slaves.

Oh, I agree.

I heard on Dan Patrick that Alabama bought Saban a house, Saban sold the house back to Alabama keeping all the profit, and then Alabama leased the house back to him for 1 dollar.

During the late 80’s and 90’s, Coach Don James in the PAC-10 at UW had a small dynasty going. Battling USC or UCLA at bowl games was big business.

Then it all ended when James called BS on the NCAA’s aggression against him and UW for what was and still is prevalent in college sports.

Yes, $50k was the going rate for top players.

JDC said you probably wouldn't have heard of him (JDC) if Bear had not kicked Sugarlands' Kenneth Hall off the team because Hall refused to play defense. Later on in an interview, Bear was asked what was his biggest mistake he ever made in coaching and he said "Kenneth Hall".

College athletes are a commodity to be bought and sold. Well, so are the pros. It's been that way for a long time and I can't see it changing. Now college players are paid up front. They don't have to hide it any more.

It was a lot better when the boosters just handed out sacks of hundred dollar bills.

At least back in the day, after they were bought they stayed bought.

I thought colleges were allowed to salary athletes as of about 2 years ago.

Back in my college days players complained of a lack of funds but drove Caddy's and RX-7's around campus. Also, only saw them for the first day of classes which they never subsequently attended again.
