I call BS on this article. The black guy is from Bryan, Texas which is the town adjacent to College Station, Texas and home of Texas A&M.
He had to go to a fairly decent high school because that is the only option.
I would buy some of this if he grew up in a poor part of Houston, but not Bryan.
He could have easily taken buses to A&M and hung out on campus.
Thanks for the info on the schools in the BCS area and the reality check.
