I am so over basketball. Never liked the college scam, but I am over that and the pro pros, if you will.
They are neither interested in helping nor helping African-Americans with this self-interested push. Pandering plus trying to lower yet further the bar for college entry for blacks.
They disgust me.

The three-point shot ruined basketball.
It really doesn’t take a lot of skill to be a good three-point shooter, just a lot of practice.
It takes a lot more skill to thread a pass to make for an easy layup.

Remember when Tom Brookshier got fired from CBS back in the 80s for saying that the collective IQ of the Louisville basketball team was 40. Was he fired for overestimating?

This is a(nother) really stupid article about this.
Division 1 basketball is a minor league for the NBA. The criteria for entry is skill with a round ball. Intelligence, and the ability to enroll in college-level classes, has ZERO to do with the business (which is, or was, worth multiple millions of dollars to colleges).
Stop the hypocrisy! If a good roundball player, raking in the $$ for some college, HAPPENS to be smart enough to also go to, and benefit from, college - fine. But don’t pretend that’s why most of them are there.
They are as competitive in their field as the nerdiest Chinese man from Shanghai is at MIT. Leave it at that.

In his 1930 paper "Intelligence Tests of Immigrant Groups," Brigham recanted his 1923 analysis of the results of the Army Mental Tests. Due to having used prejudicial test administration and analytical techniques in his original research (he had not taken into consideration that the first language of some of the people he studied was not English), he acknowledged that his conclusions were "without foundation" and stated "that study with its entire hypothetical superstructure of racial differences collapses completely."[7][8] Nevertheless, it had already been instrumental in fueling anti-immigrant sentiment in America and in the eugenics debate

For clarity. Ain't buying or selling on the dude.

They’re good at test taking, but wind up as engineer drones at companies. They lack leadership, gravitas, and soft skills.

As always, the answer is not to help black people do better, but make it more comfortable for them to do worse. And we wonder why there are racial disparities in America.
To: Kaslin
better yet, they should hire the affletes to play ball for them. .
yes, professional college ball players .

What, the old way of buying smart guys to sit in on the jocks’ tests and do their homework is not good enough anymore?

Our back-to-back Gator Championship teams, were probably the last great College Basketball Team. Players who all played different roles, and together were better than the sum of the parts.
College basketball has definitely deteroriated since with the “One and Done” crap.

Would the NABC prefer a system that allows whites to be explicitly discriminated against?Why, yes. Yes, they would.

In a way that’s a shame. Pat Summerall gave Tom Brooshier a big portion of the credit for helping him get clean and sober.

I was just perusing the Babylon Bees site before coming back to FR. I saw this headline and thought, Oh, the BB must have slipped in another story I missed!

Obviously, there are exceptions, such as Gonzaga. Of the last six players to make All America and Academic AA, 3 played for Gonzaga: Dan Dickau, Kelly Olynyk, and Nigel Williams-Goss. The latter two earned their Masters degrees before leaving Gonzaga.
Zags are usually at the top of the academic performance rankings.
