    Wow, that's racist. You're basically implying the only reason "blacks" are able to go to college is because they are stereotypically good at sports. Actually, despite media portrayals of black men as either criminals or athletes, there are a lot of smart, ambitious, talented African-Americans who go to college for other reasons, like LEARNING or to embark on a career. Look at our president and his wife, for example.

    I went to a college with no sports, and there were plenty of black people. And several with merit-based scholarships.

    I could defiantly see a drop, not only for African Americans, but all races in getting into college... More people would apply for scholarships that's for sure

    other than being annoyed with your racist overtones,

    perhaps you need to ask yourself,

    "would your college even be open or have sports if not for the blacks?"
