Hill should have added, “some white students feel safer, both physically and emotionally, on an HWCU campus—all the more so as racial tensions have risen in recent years. Navigating a predominantly black campus as a white student can feel isolating, even for athletes.”
Oh wait, there are no Historically White colleges/universities allowed any more...
I thought all the BYU players were Samoans.
They can join the Millenials in line for jobs at Starbucks, or whatever their customer-service-job-of-choice is.
