Well said. Seriously. I may be WAY off here, but even when I think about serious (not rumored) candidates for vacant MBB, FB, WBB, SOC, and BB the past 20 years--no POC come to mind.Every time there is any mention of race and ISU athletics the first thing people bring up is Coach Robinson 50 years ago. 10 basketball coaches have followed him, Like it or not the fact is our athletics department is inherently white. All you need to do is scroll through the administration on our website. 15 folks with "athletics director" as part of their title. All white. Scroll down the list of coaches. A few assistants are people of color. We're going back half a century y'all. Is it any wonder this entire situation was handled poorly? I'm not saying anyone at ISU is racist. I don't believe that. But who's followed Coach Robinson? In any sport? Something that makes me go hmmm.
