FAMU football left out of FCS postseason tournament, recapping the Rattlers' season | Gerald Thomas III

An unfortunate ending to an adverse season for @FAMU_FB. The Rattlers finishes with their third straight nine-win season at 9-2 (7-1 SWAC) on the heels of a nine-game winning streak. 🏈 https://t.co/IK8gTn7fAw

Looking ahead FAMU, forget about the FCS playoffs ... there is no money in it for HBCU institutions in this rigged playoff system that is lightly attended by PWI fans.  This is a made for ESPN event! A home game with SIAC Champs Albany State or Fort Valley State makes money at Bragg Memorial Stadium.  A road game at small market teams like Campbell, Southeastern Louisiana and other PWI FCS schools makes us no money to support the athletics program.  Look at their FCS NCAA attendance stats. Florida Classic, we own.  We control our destiny, not the NCAA Div. I Football Championship Selection Committee! #LeaveNoDoubt

So, he's upset because "quality black students" are choosing @TSUedu over the PWIs in Tennessee?

I had to respond to this again. This man tells you everything about the level of entitlement that white spaces think they have over Black faces. He is so clueless and can’t fathom how someone might prefer to attend an institution that was built specifically to nurture them. 😒 https://t.co/k1ST6o1kWC
