Shedeur literally was on the cover of Sports Illustrated, on GMA, and was featured on both College GameDay LAST SEASON as an HBCU QB. What the hell are you talking about?
Colorado is an HBCU. Colorado is now black-ish and hip-hop because Deion Sanders is a football coach at the school. What a slap in the face of HBCUs and Black people.
Before the narrative starts, let's not frame this as Ed Reed or any other ex-NFL player being an HBCU head coach as "giving back" like they're doing community service. HBCUs are not charity cases. Ed Reed, and any other football coach, are hired to win football games.
"No, you cannot transplant an entire culture dating back a whole century and a half to a white institution in less than a year and create an authentic experience," writes HBCU Sports contributor Chris Stevens.

Hue Jackson, who was fired as the Grambling State head coach, said Tuesday night he should have been given more than two seasons to establish the program.
Y’all went from why can’t HBCUs sell out their football stadiums like PWIs do to … an HBCU gotta move a game to a PWI because its stadium is sold out. 🤔
Jackson State head coach Tomekia Reed said in the postgame press conference that she hopes the women's tournament would evolve into all neutral sites like the men's tourney so that higher seeds would "have a better chance to compete."
The SWAC just announced that Jackson State will not be participating in the postgame press conference. The team is heading back to campus for a team meeting.
Breaking: Sources told HBCU Sports that Fred McNair informed Alcorn State that he will not remain at the school as football coach. He is expected to accept an offer to become Texas Southern's next head coach
Here are HBCU players who’ve signed undrafted free-agent contracts so far.

LSU coach Kim Mulkey said she told Tomekia Reed after the game that she "ain't gonna be at Jackson State long if they don't pay you." ... " Mulkey went on to say that she's "not her agent or not her best friend. I just know talent."

Hue Jackson recently suggested that current HBCU coaches are qualified to be at the Power 5 level or even in pro football.
“They just need the opportunity.”
Reed said her message to the team was "we have to fight for our institution. We have to fight for our conference. We have to continue to fight for our culture. We have to continue to knock on walls to get respect. ...it's time to come back and knock the walls down."
How about we make fun of a Black city going through a water crisis to celebrate coaches being “elevated and not terminated.” Again, the author of this tweet below is Black. 🙄
Three years ago when Florida A&M officially joined the SWAC, Willie Simmons confidently declared “we feel we're the best.” On Saturday, at a rain-soaked Bragg Memorial Stadium — the Rattlers literally weathered the storm to prove Simmons right with a SWAC title.
If a Power 5 school can lure the North Dakota State head coach away for an assistant job, then it's not unbelievable to think that a really successful HBCU coach won't receive overtures from schools at that level.
The final Ultimate HBCU Sports Division I Top 10 Poll has Florida A&M at No. 1 after its Celebration Bowl win. The Rattlers earn recognition as the 2023 Black College Football National Champions.
The Orange Blossom Classic -- the most anticipated season opener in recent years between Florida A&M and Jackson State on Sunday afternoon -- drew an average of 700,000 viewers on ESPN 2.

It's interesting that Colorado is being considered "Black America's team" because Deion Sanders is the coach at Colorado, even though Jackson State wasn't labeled that when he was at an actual HBCU at Jackson State housed in a city that is more than 80 percent Black.
Ed Reed is talking. Players are speaking out. This story has gone viral. Where is the BCU administration? Not a statement from the school at all in the hours after all this went down. The silence is … interesting.
The SWAC just released its order of finish as follows:
East:
1. Alcorn State
2. Bama A&M
3. Bama State
4. JSU
5. Miss. Valley
West:
1. Southern
2. Grambling
3. Prairie View
4. Ark.-Pine Bluff
5. Texas Southern
It's shameful to even say that considering HBCUs have historically, systemically, and intentionally been underfunded by the state while PWIs like Colorado are economically invested in.
North Carolina Central's 23-14 upset win over favored Alcorn State drew an average of 1 million viewers on ESPN Saturday night, the second-highest rated game of the Week 0 college football slate.
