Thats true, it doesn't benefit just black people. It benefits everyone...............well, everyone who is not white. As long as you aren't white, AA is great. Want to know more? Check out the site footballscoop.com It is a site dedicated to posting job openings in the football coaching business, big money, highly competitive career. Among the postings, you'll sometimes see phrases such as "State University has an opening for a Defensive Line coach. Pay $45,000 per year with room and board. Responsibility includes XXXX, Requirements minimum XXXX.................This is a minority position."
"This is a minority position."
Football teams are FORCED by the NCAA to have a minimum number of minority coaches. So, when these postings go up, it may as well say "WHITE PEOPLE NOT ELIGIBLE".
Yep. Affirmative Action has moved us beyond racism, right?
LOL. Link to the NCAA rule please.
I was a college football coach for 6 years. If you think this does not happen in the NCAA you are grossly uninformed, as the NCAA is amongst the most racially bias organizations in all of higher education and sports. Better than a link, I'll post you a piece of Winthrop University (SC) and their self-examination of wether they were complying with the NCAA division 1 racial quota regulations:
Operating Principle
3.2 Minority Issues
Self-Study Items
1. List all "corrective actions," "conditions for certification" or "strategies for improvement" imposed by the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification in its first-cycle certification decision (if any) as they relate to Operating Principle 3.2 (Minority Issues). In each case, provide: (a) the original "corrective action," "condition" or "strategy" imposed; (b) the action(s) taken by the institution; (c) the date(s) of the action(s); and (d) an explanation for any partial or noncompletion of such required actions. Please note, the institution is not required to respond to recommendations for required actions developed by the peer-review team unless those same recommendations were adopted by the Committee on Athletics Certification.
In the area of "Minority Issues" and specifically "Participation" and "Personnel", the following recommendations were made from the first-cycle certification:
Participation
Winthrop will continue an active recruitment of qualified minority athletes.
Personnel
As vacancies occur, Winthrop will actively recruit qualified minority applicants.
Minority Equity Plan of 1997 Three specific issues were brought to light in the first-cycle certification process and a Minority Equity Plan of Action was instituted. The following issues were included in the plan:
Issue: Although the athletic program's minority representation has increased percentage-wise, minorities are under represented in staff, faculty and coaching positions. Action: Although every effort is currently being made to seek minority applicants, the AD will advertise position openings in journals more widely read by minority applicants. Goal: To increase minority staff and coaches. Responsibility: Athletic Director Timetable: Immediate and Ongoing
Issue: Minority athletes are under-represented on Student-Athlete Board. Action: Rather than implement a captain's club method of appointing student-athletes to the Student-Athlete Board, athletes and alternates will be chosen to create a diverse board. Goal: To increase minority representation on Board. Responsibility: Assistant Athletic Director Timetable: 1997-98
Issue: Offer more support services to minority athletes. Action: In developing Total Person Programs, we will actively seek minority speakers and address minority issues. Goal: To promote a supportive and positive environment for minority athletes. Responsibility: Assistant Athletic Director Timetable: 1997-98
Equity and Student-Athlete Welfare
Assistant AD is responsible for recruiting and hiring the acceptable number of minority employees.
In other words, some jobs are open to everyone, a few are open only to non-whites.
See request in boldface above, I don't think you read it right the first time around.
So in other words you sucked real bad, lost a lot of games, and got fired? How many years were you into it before the fans and players lost faith?I was a college football coach for 6 years
