his dad is the VP of Union Pacific railroad, worth millions?  I bet you don't see him protesting their hiring practices or racial quotas. Funny he can't see his own privilege.

Kids/young adults doing what they do, often out of ignorance, and often for the betterment of society. I get tired of right wing butthurtedness. On. Every. Single. Issue. If the President of the University was that weak, I dngaf. Really not following this at all. I saw somebody say something about everything racial happened "50 freakin years ago" as though that absolved past & present. 50 years, or 200 years is nothing in historical chronology. Things have changed for the better overall, and things will continue to change, mostly for the better. Change is the antithesis of conservatism, by definition.

On a somewhat related note, the whole issue of athletics as a farm system for the NFL & NBA being married to higher education has mushroomed to farcical proportions. It may be time to reexamine the relationship between student/athlete & universities. I am a big sports fan, too. Both sides clearly need each other as evidenced by the former businessman/university president & the chancellor stepping down. Big deal. Matters not to me. More Americans should be in solidarity against the "system".

I agree.  College athletics is out of control, financially and otherwise.
