Jackson State spokeswoman Jean Cook said the school would still have homecoming festivities, featuring the homecoming parade, a football scrimmage and extended band performance. The school said it's working on a process to refund tickets.

Bill the Grambling players and then pull any scholarships.

I was just going to post this but I stopped to read some old articles about Grambling. Now back to the story.

First, the players should lose their scholarships. They are being compensated to practice and play and they refused.

Second, they won't lose their scholarships. The football program brings in way too much money and you can't just fire a team and start over. Ask SMU.

Players getting sh!t on and have only one real recourse, STRIKE! (insert logo of raised fist here)

In reality, these students are as close to serfs as any group these days. I have some sympathy for them.

But ya, you take the money (or scholarship) you got to work for the Man, that’s life. Hope they get it all sorted out.

I remember Williams quarterbacked for the Bucaneers back when.

The standing joke was that he'd be sent to Iran to overthrow the Ayatolah.....

What an arm. At least with the Redskins he got to the Superbowl.

Grambling hit rock bottom years ago.

I cannot remember the last time they successfully recruited an elite player against the SEC or the ACC.

I'll guess they have maybe two or three active NFL players, none of whom went in the first or second round.

Update:

I just checked ESPN.

They have two active players.

One, a third rounder, the other, an undrafted free agent.

Should have done what Cumberland College did against Georgia Tech on October 7, 1916

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1073271/index.htm

Of course, the score was 222-0

Schools like Grambling have outlived their purpose, and not just on the football field. They should either adapt or close up shop altogether.

Maybe Grambling ought to boycott honoring their scholarships.

Grambling canceled its football game against Jackson State after Grambling's disgruntled players refused to travel to Jackson for the game Saturday.

As if I give a rat's ass about any members of the entitlement class!

To Grambling & Jackson State... Just STFU & sign up for your 0dumbCare, for any students able to read or write after going to all black skools.
