Wrong! While A&T is a business, that is not its primary mission. Educating students is!

I am willing to bet a case of Pepsi Cola that coaches from all over America sign kids that are not articulate as some want on this site.
If someone with the abilities of Mahomes wanted to attend A&T but used slang in his interview with the coach, do you think he would turn him down? He'll No.
Players come from different backgrounds and may not be as astute or articulate as a coach want but that should not be a reason to turn him down from a scholarship.
If that is or was the case many athletes who excelled over time with proper coaching and tutoring would not have done so without the opportunity.
Damn common sense is the issue not some personal belief.

First, that’s Coach Brown’s standard. As the football coach, he’s entitled to set any standard that he desires within certain parameters. However, in doing so, he should be cognizant that colleges should be place where young people can be molded so that their strengths can be highlighted and their weaknesses can be eliminated or smoothed over. Last I heard A&T subscribed to that mission for its students including student athletes! It’s not A&T is not a community service organization, it’s a business. A&T mission and direction is dictated by UNC board of Governors. Coach Browns livelihood is on the line, he is making the best decisions for the school and his family. 39 Pleez

i don't know that coach broadway didn't sign dudes who use slang. but i do know that everybody he signed was not a "choir boy". we've had guys who he signed during his era who were "dismissed" for reasons consistent with "street life" such as allegedly selling drugs or allegedly possessing fire arms.
so let's not pretend coach broadway had an all "choir boy" roster. he too took chances on dudes who were not your every day "boy scout"...

We gone get 100 pages out of this subject unless some serious breaking news occur. Personally if the kid is a baad shut yo mouth player, I would sign him. You can teach him manners while you are preparing him to raise hell on the field. Everybody ain't raised the same. Exactly. Having been a recruiter I can tell you that good recruiters already know everything about the kid before even having an actual conversation with the young man or woman. The good ones do their surveillance and background research..i.e Talking to HC,Position coach , teachers, school counselors and people they may or may not know in the surrounding area better active in the sports scene . Basically they know all they need to know about the athlete before even setting face to face with him or her . As my father would say rest in peace "Hear with your Eyes 👀 and See with your Ears 👂 " Good conversation skills can be taught and learned with little effort at all,in most cases a change of environment is all that is needed. So stop making this into something it's not unless you have worked in the area of the recruitment of student athletes . What counts is the Discipline and Commitment (Classroom and Athletics), Character and Morals that the athlete has that is the most important factor. Because as we all know or should know our levels of Verbal Intercourse and situational interaction chained completely from the level we were at before entering College . Hell in life 😆. Having said that do not confuse the recruitment or recruiting of an athlete with your everyday interaction with individuals because they are two different things.

That is a community service responsibility. Stop 39 please Stop. Teaching is education and if proper manners and articulation in conversation is required that is what Educators do .

That is the parents responsibility, society wants others to raise their kids 😂😂 An educators job is to teach them academic subjects.

So it is up to others to step in if possible. There is a reason you have mentoring programs to teach what is not taught at home or within a Social Circle . Educators that care understand this that is why they try so hard to correct what should have been corrected at home or by others.

So 2039, you do know that when some kids come to college, they have never been to a formal banquet and have no idea what a salad fork is. Or that when some kids come to college, they have never been to a press conference or been the subject of a press conference. So it’s your position that the school shouldn’t be required to educate them on that and should instead let them, as a representative of the school figure it out themselves if they haven’t learned it from the community by the time they get to A&T? How in the world does that comport with A&T’s mission statement? Just asking.
