Aside from the NIL stuff, it's encouraging that we now have a coach who embraces the portal as a huge opportunity for TCU to grab kids that screwed up by committing and spending a year at redneck outposts that are very unfriendly and even hostile to African Americans and other minorities. I remember moving my son into his dorm in Fayetteville nine years ago when the state senator from the district covering the area stated that African Americans were fortunate to have been forced onto ships and brought here as slaves. Other than a few headlines, his ignorant statement pandered to his constituents and met little if any outrage.
Crappola like this goes on throughout the old confederacy and the campuses in the outposts of the midwest, while not being so hostile racially, are no place for Texas kids to have to spend years. If the NIL money can be suitable, I think alot of these kids will jump at the first opportunity to leave and come to a city with a vibrant AA community now that they don't have to sit out a year..
