ESPN does a story like this once a year
A young black male has three times better chance to become a general in the U.S. Army than he does a head football coach for a Division I-A school. He has a better chance at becoming president of a Fortune 500 company than he does leading a college football team onto the field.
More here.
Kellen Winslow's path is the one to take. Don't have your kids play where they can't coach.
Here, we emphasize social power...but changing the rules to make decisions a bit more open definitely doesn't hurt.

LKS,Winslow is right,I recall the debate in the 50s and 60s; civil right vs human right;Malcolm took the position that its wrong to channel energy towards the right to sit next too and spend dollars with people who have a foot on your neck.With 52% of div.1 players black and just three coaches the same ,we must define the mission and answer the important question, can white coaches prepare are children for leadership?If the answer is no then we must give them an alternative.
