What do you think would happen if ALL the black football players at the U of AL suddenly decided to transfer to a more "enlightened" State? Do you think the AL legislature just might consider adding another Black congressional district? Yeah, I kinda think they would. The Power is neither in our minds nor our bodies. The Power is in our souls, bonded with the spirit of the Ancestors. Real talk. It works. Just ask me. Just ask Coach Prime. When you enable young people, irrespective of ethnicity, to tap into the spirit of the American Enslaved, you unlock unlimited potential. I saw this in my Vietnamese students attending A&T. They were new to the country, but immediately tapped into the vibe at A&T and went on to slay dragons. I don't need to tell you about my black students, they are all studs and studettes. Coach Prime did the same thing at CU: brought in a bunch of carefully selected, talented players, got them to completely buy into his vision, and off they go. Don't know if he tapped into the Ancestors, but he certainly tapped into an HBCU and to me it's the same thing. I did the same thing at NCCU, A&T, Alcorn, and TN State and can do it wherever you have hungry, talented people willing to work. Ethnicity is irrelevant. I carry the Ancestors with me wherever I go and let THEM do the work.
When I saw the move of @ 60 players to UC through the portal l knew something was going to happen. Coach just nailed the prior role. They flocked from across the country to play for him!
They would probably also offer them some lucrative NIL deals and beg them to stay. And why hasn't Mr. Eddie George been scouted by some of these Division 1 universities?
Michigan State could use some help... though U of M could, too.

11moTo answer the first question in your post: the members of the Alabama Legislature would poop their pants or vomit on each other. Then say: we have plenty or white boys who can take their place ……….. then stare at each other knowing they don’t. Then they would vote to create a new district for appropriate black representation in Alabama.
