- I hope you understand, and believe, that if a football, basketball, or whatever athlete is selected by a PAC or Big Ten coach, that athlete only need pass the NCAA clearinghouse and he/she will gain admission to the school. The thing about these large P5 public schools is that their student bodies have such mass that adding what is essentially a handful of students who are several standard deviations below the mean basically has zero effect on the overall numbers. The only schools where there legitimately is an exception to this iare Stanford and Northwestern. Maybe USC, but that school is much closer to a public school by the size of student body.

- Then with the racist comments. First of all: good grief. Second of all ... can't figure out if you're saying that blacks are better at football than non-blacks or if you're saying that blacks follow college football more than non-blacks. Either statement is absurd on its face.

- Finally, the three Pacific Coast states have a combined population of around 50-51 million people. So the percentage you quite is very misleading. That 4% number would mean over 2 million blacks. By comparison, the two deepest south of the deep south states (the poorest and worst educated, on average) - Mississippi and S Carolina - have a combined population of around 8 million, with let's say 35% blacks, or around 2.8M blacks. So not that much different.
