Serious problem in college sports!!!!

There is a SERIOUS problem with college football. Here are some interesting statistics I looked up. African Americans comprise 12% of the population in the US. They make up 60% of athletes that play football. In college FBS approximately 30% assistant coaches are African American. And there is less than 10% that are Head coaches.
Black players have historically been steered away from positions that are direct lines to high-profile assistant coaching jobs. It’s called racial stacking, when minority groups are disproportionately relegated to lesser roles. The most visible example is black quarterbacks being moved to less-central positions.

Data on 1,006 high school football players who did not play multiple positions and went on to power-conference college teams. Of black players who played QB in high school, 62% changed positions in college, per the study. Some moves are in the best interest of players, but only 16% of white QBs changed positions. Researchers found 22% of all players switched positions. Black quarterbacks were 38.5% more likely than white quarterbacks to change positions. Going back one more step, many young white QBs have private tutors and QB camps, which black families are less likely to be able to afford. There is a similar disproportionate percentage when it comes to the position of Center on the offensive line. For those who don't know let me explain. The two most important position on the offensive side of the ball is QB and Center. QB for obvious reasons. The Center is real important because he is not only responsible for the ball exchange to the QB, but he also calls out the blocking assignments each play from the line of scrimmage.

Of the 128 non-interim head coaches in FBS, only 14 had no previous coordinator experience.Of the 43 FBS head coaches who played quarterback (the most common former position among head coaches), 39 previously worked as both OCs and QB coaches. Therefore, the most common path to becoming a major college head coach is shut off to a large percentage of black men in football, partly because of the positions they played in college.

College football does not have a version of the NFL's Rooney Rule, which mandates a team must interview at least one minority candidate for a vacant head coaching or senior executive role. Teams run the risk of a monetary penalty if they don’t comply.
At Univ. of Ark. alone, they have never interviewed a black coach for the Head Coaching position from my research. If I am wrong please shoot me the link.

The sad part is the data is clear yet Colleges and Universities love to talk about how diverse they are in those areas when the truth lies within those percentages in which I have posted. I challenge you to look at the athletic administration as a whole and the representation of African Americans working close to the top of the hierarchy are few. Because it is clear that these entities don't have a problem having minorities to win games, but they have a problem hiring them into high profile position no matter their qualification.
