I damn near needed an interpreter, and I’m country as hell.
But yeah, hopefully he’ll have the wisdom to remove it, but at the same time take it to somebody who can give him some positive feedback and pointers on his delivery.

I mean after Washington was relieved of his duties…a former player was on my Twitter Spaces pretty much said similar things as this player…and he’s playing for NCCU next season… Not really…that player was really saying nothing. The players are upset that some have to work? That is the life of a student on partial scholarship or whatever they gave him. Want a new locker room, that just doesn’t happen overnight. The players knew how the locker room looked when they signed on the dotted line. A new practice field? Again that doesn’t happen overnight So the AD listens to them then they complain when it doesn’t happen fast enough🤷🏾♂️ In the same breadth they say it really isn’t that bad😂😂 They can be replaced with kids that are happy to be on scholarship When you consistently win Championships, beat supposedly superior PWI's and know that there was major monies earned from that work, it is expected that you will share in those riches. A banner in your locker room says walk like Champions talk like Champions!, Educated winning athletes expect to live like Champions. This administration IMO squandered the monies that these athletes bleed for. Force other programs to earn their keep! The football program deserves everything they ask for now. The BS has to stop! A former football player who is a CEO spoke to this while graduating, you can't masterbate the minds of educated kids and adults and expect patience. LEAD FOLLOW OR GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY! Its time out for the bureaucratic bull$h*t. |

So yeah they won championships but that is why they are on scholarship,they aren’t on scholarship to lose every game. So the football program isn’t earning their keep, the school loses more money on football than it brings in. The program got a brand new weight room. The coaches also probably got bonuses. The money from those celebration bowls was used to pay back the debt that was incurred by the program. Those kids can depart as they did, those that aren’t happy can leave too. |

Outside of Alabama State what schools are you referring too? |

Prairie View new stadium is being paid for by student fees. A&T uses student debt fees to pay for the new student union, the new student wellness center. A&T priorities are academics and regular students first. Heck the regular students are already paying the football player scholarships. ————————//—— While donors have played a role in funding the new stadium, Texas A&M University System Vice Chancellor Phillip Ray said most of the credit goes to the students. Two-thirds of the $61 million budget will be financed by Prairie View A&M students through a student fee, an increasingly common practice among Texas universities to cover some of the costs of their athletics programs. Students approved the $175 per semester fee in a referendum vote in 2013. It was implemented in 2014 and may remain in place for up to 30 years. The fee will fund projects for all athletic programs at the university. In return, students can attend all athletic events on campus for free. www.texastribune.org/2016/06/23/prairie-view-m-uses-athletics-boost-identity/ |

Outside of PVA&M we are about equal to if not better then another HBCU at this level . Don't be fooled by the optics you see on Social media. I have been on a lot of those campuses and on most of the D2 HBCU programs also and as Chuck D and Flavor Flav say DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE. |

I damn near needed an interpreter, and I’m country as hell. But yeah, hopefully he’ll have the wisdom to remove it, but at the same time take it to somebody who can give him some positive feedback and pointers on his delivery. When I see Jamison, I'm gonna give him some pointers...volume, diction, etc. We'll see if he removes it. |

How are we a winning program on the same footing as losing programs? Because our administration understands academics is the number 1 priority. Chancellor Martin is an engineer and is very logical. First you build up your student population by growing the endowment for academic scholarships, growing academic reputation, a new student union and a new student fitness facility. Winning championships is not what motivates students to attend A&T its facilities and academics. Student fees are key to funding athletics, if enrollment was low there would be no money for the sports programs to include football. Our facilities are better than losing programs...again you have not stated any program that has better facilities than us. What losing programs have better facilities? Which of our HBCU academic peers have better facilities? Our administration is focused on more than one sport... FAMUs mens and womens basketball is a combined 10-38 on the season. Their football team did go 9-2 tho lol lol |

So if A&T is so bad why is he still on the roster? Why hasn't he left to go to schools with better stuff?

How are we a winning program on the same footing as losing programs? What are you talking about ? Your talking about to different things here . One Coaches and players either make you a winning program or a losing program . Two facilities and the right Coaches attract those players . Three our facilities are not as antiquated as some of you try to make it seem..i.e Weight Room .all HBCU'S at this level are on equal footing because of the budget limitations we have to work with , don't let your Aggie Pride and arrogance consume you . |
