I hate when people say with what you know like I mean that College charges all them kids to go to that school and they got millions and millions and millions of dollars you can't afford some drywall and you know some Carpenters that can tear out some old mold spots or replace it.I mean you can't afford to pay janitorial system to clean and pick up trash and sanitation? It's just ridiculous. IF I was those kids or parents of in a school paying to go there with those conditions id transfer and have that institution close its doors. It doesn't matter if its a all green college white or red if they charge to go to that institution all facilities should be kept up daily and if not you shouldn't be OPEN for buisness period. Those kids paying good money to go there and i know theres levels to this but still its atrocious. Get better funding or spend your funds better or close your doors. It should be illegal for any college or school to operate in those terrible conditions but ppl accept those conditions as normal and IT SHOULDN'T BE Because It is not NORMAL on any CAMPUS Nor should it be acceptable for ANY Human Beings PAYING TO GET AN EDUCATION. Most public schools operate better than that level i mean Cmon . Shut em down and Uncover the CORRUPTION or Bad Management of said Administration then Fix those issues and reopen. That should be The only way forward because greed will never stop. These lower level Schools and its upper management in my opinion are taking advantage of these kids for a Buck or Ran by the wrong ppl unable to manage the funds appreciate. Either way it HAS TO STOP. And ACCOUNTABILITY ENFORCED on behave of those young men and women paying to reach there hopes and dreams deserve THAT!
@@treyspaulding46 Verrrrrrrry Well said!!! Shannon say you cant change something thats been that way 100 years. I say its a damn shame!! And Prime and Ed were shining a light on what feels like CORRUPTION by the school administration. Where is the money going? How dont you have the basic funds to clean the campus!! Who know what else is Broken in these institutions?? EVERYTHING IS NOT A FUNDING ISSUE!! Some of this is couth and class!! You make the kids and staff endure squalor conditions but you have donors and alumni and local corporate investment and government grants. Where is the money going if the school is operating at such a low level??
This is the $64,000 question..... If all these HBCU's produce doctors lawyers businessmen government employees and HALL OF FAME athletes every year.... Why cant they get their alumni to donate money back into the school??? Ill give you one theory..... The students see that over their time at that school certain things NEVER got fixed or never got cleaned. No matter how much fund raising or donations were given. And they know theres a question about the priority of these funds!! WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING?? These administrators have carved out a nice little hustle for themselves. Its like claiming a failed business for tax purposes. Whos gonna give them folks money when they know they never see the fruits if all this "fundraising!" Its a damn shame.
@@nitroluskincaid I agree Or donations are kept by Administration with the power and knowledge to sweep it away for their own funding. Theres no way all these schools have the same problems and not one PROSPERS unless they are all being taken advantage of by administration, Accounting, or Poor funding/poor use of funds procured, or Victims of the same ol same mentality thats to me shouldn't be acceptable by anyone. These schools need to stand together and DEMAND CHANGE. For higher ups to open the books and find a solution and reasons WHY? why are we suffering at SCHOOL????? WHY? Change will never come unless the schools enduring these shameful situations daily STAND UP AND SAY ENOUGH!
I am a HBCU alumni. It isn't just about people & alumni not donating money its about the money they're donating disappearing or being used inappropriately.
You're right that that's not all that it's about, but it's a major part of it. The rate of HBCU donations is too low. I was invited to speak at an HBCU in Texas a few months ago and I donated most of my speaking fee to the university. the best HBCUs are generally pretty well run. Ed Reed's tantrums have done a lot of damage to the perception of these schools.
As a recent graduate of BCU 2016-2021 (undergrad and grad)... these problems that Ed brought to the world have always been at BCU. The best thing that can happen from this is that they reconsider Ed Reed to be the HC, because anyone that gets this job now has to have those issues addressed before signing a contract. Let Reed and his donors do that that they told him they would do. And the University keeps its money to go where it's needed in other places.
Also an HBCU alum ('00), I saw it back in the 90s as well. I also studied at a PWI and saw not just the disparity in funding, but a flagrant neglect with HBCU's to take care of what they already had. Ed wanted standards to be raised and with those standards and in time, funding will follow.
Yeah into they pockets, they ain’t putting no money into those school. Benedict College is/was the same way them jokas was running thru there with choppas.
It took the players from Grambling St University to publicly humiliate the university into building a suitable facility for them to practice and play. Sometimes it takes public outcry to get these administrators to get up off of their behinds to do right by the students
I respect Ed for what he is desiring to do with the students and the school, but he handled this dituation wrong. He should have stepped to the administration in private first. If no reasonable progress was made after an agreed upon period of time then he could have rightfully put them on blast.
*It wasn't meant for Ed Reed to Coach Bethune-Cookman. BC wasn't ready for Ed and Ed wasn't ready for BC. I'm just glad the trap house now finally got surveillance footage! This was a necessary punch in the mouth for BC, HBCUs, The Black Community, and the American Community.*
The one time I visited Bethune Cookman, I was surprised out how bad the conditions were. And I lived in NC, home of FSU, NC Central, A&T, and St. Augustine. The conditions at those HBCU’s weren’t the BEST, but they took pride in the campus and it was clean and kept up to the degree their resources would allow. Bethune Cookman was not thT
They knew about it and had to have approached before. The second Ed got the boot, everybody started confirming his claims and protesting. Sometimes taking somebody to Front Street is necessary when they're bullshitting you.
@@phoenixmg my point exactly bro. Been there. They shoo you away when its in private until you make some public noise. Idk all the facts I’m just bringing perspective.
Sadly, this incident will take Brett Farve further out of the Media, so we can forget. Thanks for adding that Criminal to the conversation. It is relivent. The mismanagement and thievery aren't just at HBCU's. Watch how the National Media plays this if there is some " funny money dealings " around BCU. Not excusing it but most schools have scandals " Penn State" a few years back.
They were sharing MOLDY helmets and gear. They helmets, gloves, jerseys, pads - it all got moldy. No locker room. No shower. No safe or even clean or even dry storage places to put equipment and personal belongings while practicing or in a game.
@@nicholasjordan7334 how is he supposed to know about the moldy equipment? Even in middle school football teams have locker rooms and clean gear. It's assumed that this basic thing, gear not being moldy, is taken care of.
Ed is completely right. If you're going to bring him in to turn the school around, how are you going to do that showing kids a dirty campus with mold in the dorms? Having the campus clean is literally the first thing in having a viable college
He wasn't there to turn the school around he was there to coach football now the mold should of came to light before ed reed got there but a football coach do turn a whole college around just the football program with a few extras at time that the school might come up off
Take his accomplishments away can you honestly say you want someone who gets mad based on twitter comments and get on the internet in his feelings his first LIVE comments weren’t just about the school it was him mad at comments ppl made you want him leading your boy into manhood? If his name wasn’t Ed Reed
I like Ed's passion, but he should've Kept it internal..talk to administration and curse them out, not on IG. .students still have to go there..Im a HBCU product....so how he went about it was completely wrong
@@antoniosmith7964 Ed Reed was there to do more than coach football & that’s blatantly obvious. And it wasn’t just the mold. First, they didn’t even have the decency to clean his office. There was trash all over campus & even more trash hoarded in buildings. Ed Reed even commented about drug addicts casually strolling around on campus & these are things he just noticed in over a week.
@@DD-cs7kl all the repairs don't have to be done all at once. Bethune-cookman tuition is about 15k per student and they have almost 3800 students enrolled there. Thats 56 mill right there. Now I know they have salaries etc to pay...but let's not act like these universities don't have the money. They just don't bring in revenue as PWI
@@significantnobody823 Salaries and fringe benefits usually cover at minimum about 80 percent of program cost. They dont have money . Most HBCUs barely break even . Look at the Financial reports for BC
@@Kevinschart correct. But the next coach needs to hold BC accountable or things will never be fixed. If the next coach accepts the job before the school pledges to improve, the students will suffer.
Bethune lost credibility to me when they announced him as a coach without a signed contract... not the sign of a good org to me. And honestly sounds like an attempt to trap him by saying he is our coach prematurely, so he would sign a lesser contract.
This is why I prefer undisputed than first take. Both have controversial takes at times when it comes to sports but when it’s social issues undisputed is miles ahead of first take
You get better & faster results when ya do it out in the open. Doing stuff in the dark is why we end up with the bare minimum in all kinds of areas. No American school should have these probs tbh. So yea. Put it on blast no matter where it is.
Sad news. Much respect to Reed and Prime. I would trust my young man to them both. Stay strong and true and always stand for truth, and you'll never go wrong
I don't think it was so much Ed blasting the institution than it was Ed getting his story out first, from his mouth, with evidence. It would've been way too easy for the rumors to start circulating and ppl badmouthing Ed for leaving the program, if he didn't show firsthand what he was working with.
ok so document and keep it for a later time. NOT while you're trying to gain employment. He had to be fired. matter of fact he fired himself with his behavior. the world doesn't work the way you think it does cupcake
As a FAMU alum, it’s sad to see HBCU be viewed in this light. FAMU was an excellent university for me and I recommend anybody to bring their children there.
Hey Shannon, FYI, Prairie View A & M University (PVAMU) just had a brand new Football Stadium and new Track & Field Facility built in the last few years. This Campus, overall, appears to be a developing small city with new Student Housing Buildings, a new Electrical Engineering Building, etc......
@elhombrenegro4999 he might not have been to them all , but it's been revealed that they are all ran the same= something like the city of Detroit (hint hint 😉).
Shannon, you know Ed was right on this. The only time HBCUs make a change for the better is when they're publicly outed. Ed knew this and he knew these kids needed someone to stand up for them. NOTHING would have even thought of changing if it wasn't for him
It's not just the HBCUs. Please do not denigrate these institutions. The dedicated educators at those schools do not deserve that. I am a tenured professor at San Jose State University. Our campus is in the middle of the city (San Jose, CA). Our problems w/ housing, homelessness, etc. are many and probably worse than at Bethune-Cookman. Conditions are rough for students and for many faculty.
@@keenannorris3309 The difference between HBCUs and other schools is that HBCUs will change when outed. Normally other schools still won’t do it. And I never have anything against professors and faculty. It’s the head administration and the allocation of funds.
So donate, and get your network to donate, some real money to the HBCUs. Don't just trash them. The difference in quality is directly related to a difference in funding.
I do donate and everytime my Alumnae Association has a fundraiser, my sorority sisters and I are on the Frontline leading the charge. However, it takes more than money to solve these decades of problems. A change in mindset must occur in order to sustain progress. Onwards and upwards...AA&MU Bulldogs
@Sterlington Parker you mean Ed was working at school: cleaning, chasing rodents, trying to make it a real facility prior to sigining a contract because he was that commited to doing and being better
Jackson state was already a step ahead of Bethune-Cookman current conditions before Prime got to JSU, don't know if he could prepared him for what was going on in Florida.
It’s not about the underfunding it’s about the lack of effort and accountability. Why do we expect our coaches to accept less than what they deserve and let these universities sweep these things under the rug? Rare bad take from Unc
Was Ed expecting this poor low level HBCU to IMMEDIATELY fix everything? With what money? The money comes AFTER your football team starts doing well. That college is currently an awful sports college.
The ONLY thing that Ed had a point on is cleaning. They could have at the least hired folks to do a quick trash clean up. BUT they had just been hit by a friggin hurricane a month or two prior
Problem with some of these smaller schools that are no matter if it is HBCU or not, there are some mismanagement in funds in the athletics department that the money could be used to upgrade the facilities, but not lining the pockets. It is not just that department, but in the education department.
This was a BLESSING for brother Ed Reed!! While he shouldn't have posted what he posted (and sincerely apologized)... The school is super PETTY for not moving on past it!! He dodged a bullet!! He saw they didn't clean the field, didnt clear the trash, didnt fix the gate, didnt runoff the homeless folk, or CLEAN HIS OFFICE!!! The kids would have greatly benefitted from him being at that raggedy Traphouse of a school... But the administration put their own feelings and pettiness ahead of the kids!!! He definitely dodged a bullet!!! 💯
@@itsmebedazzle I saw it. He was still trying to stay for the kids. Then last night I saw where Coach Prime facetimed him and was telling him he know Ed want to stay for the kids but he gotta move on.
@@aking2330 how was he wrong? He shed light on issues at HBCU that many people didn't know was happening? Those kids coming together for a greater cause is because of ed reed passion and that shouldn't be over looked!! So like I said protect Eddie Cane at all cost!
@@ismaelcorneille776 I completely agree and it's not pride because I believe this needed to happen. All I'm saying is that it could have been at least discussed first to the admin before going on IG live. Even Ed admitted that in his interview with Roland Martin. That is all I'm saying.
@@groverbyard5287 maybe. Why aren't you also asking maybe the administration could have picked up the TRASH from the campus if they wanted to abuse this man's time, resources and contacts. He's a multi millionaire, Hall of Fame 9 time pro bowler. He'll be smoking cigars on Miami Beach tomorrow while those kids are left to live in those utterly deplorable conditions. I played at Morehouse in the 80's and the EXACT same thing happened to Super winning Hall of Famer Doug Williams from Grambling. BC needs him... now they are free to hire a "politically correct" hire of their choice! 👍🏾✌🏾
Ed Reed was right but he expressed his concerns in the wrong way. A total lack of professionalism. Hopefully he can learn from the mistake made and continue to hold his value and be a great advocate for funding at HBCU'S
I love this topic, reminds me of the old Cuban defector story. Should I stay improve my team or should I go pursue personal glory. The golden question.
They thought they were getting another Coach Prime but Ed Reed is not Coach Prime. Ed Reed is going to let you know what going on. That why JSU need stop taking about Coach Prime because it things he still know but instead of dragging JSU in the media he just left have he gave JSU so much and got nothing in return. JSU need to thanks Coach Prime for what he did.
And Shannon Sharpe is right, everything is not meant for social media right away. Try to get Bethune to clean it up, go to the Board and others first. Then if you make no headway; then you go to the public.
Let me tell you all the diplomatic ways was done but no one from the BOT the president responded. I watch a interview with Roland Martin the other day. He had in the interim president, then Ed Reed, then three kids from the football team, then a rep from the Alumni board. The kids said on many occasions they emailed the interim president, the BOT and no one responded back to them. The BOT even sent out cease and deceased letters to some parents. The Alumni board is in a law suit right now with the BOT
We're not talking about the game, were talking about trash 🗑️, picking up trash. The administration needs to be fired. Lawrence drake liying n talking with his Eyes closed while on Roland Martin.
HBCU's have problems that we all know but afraid to speak on. We as a community love to point blame at everyone else for our shortcoming but we dont hold ourself to the same requirment. Have family and been to most HBCU's in Atlanta, Philly and midwest like Morgan, Lincoln, Clarke Atlanta etc. We spend money on houses , cars, other B.S but we dont ever support these schools they way our racial counterparts at their respective university's. I have been hearing and seeing this for 30 years and here we are again. Glad Sanders and Reed at least giving this some light.
If HBCU were given the same funding as most PWI schools we wouldn't be having this discussion. For ex. Prairive View A&M is fully funded in Texas and they have a very beaufitful campus and endowment support as well. Also, they are ranked #3 as the best school to attend. I am not a alumni of their university but pride they are receiving their blessing.
@@2vcious Public HBCUs rely on federal, state, and local funding more heavily than their non-HBCU counterparts (54 percent of overall revenue vs. 38 percent). Private HBCUs are also more tuition-dependent than their non-HBCU counterparts (45 percent tuition-dependent compared with 37 percent tuition-dependent). Private gifts, grants, and contracts make up a smaller percentage of overall revenue for private HBCUs relative to their non-HBCU counterparts (17 percent vs. 25 percent). The government via taxes, via White people finance HBCUs. The issue is those schools do not produce enough wealthy graduates or those graduates do not donate enough. Also habitual mismanagement. Or put another way, White people do more for those schools than Blacks
@@BLACKxVISUALS he was complaining about his office? he had no office yet he was never hired or under contract. The school was hit by a hurricane or was he not aware of that. This dude is not stable or level headed enough to be a Head Coach. He has to be able to reach out and communicate effectively. He sounded like he was at a bar .
Great conversation. Not totally dogging the school but just giving facts about what Ed did that blew this all up. He should have kept it between him and the institution.
ASININE MORONIC TAKE. They had many years to create and maintain a clean respectable campus and program. It’s not Ed’s job to tolerate mediocrity. Why coalesce with those at fault, if you’re Ed? NO. The trap house has surveillance footage now. CLEAN UP WITHOUT WAITING ON DONATIONS. Demand self-respect! Grew up poor- yet extremely clean and highly educated. NO EXCUSES.
Coach Prime didn't do it alone. If you cared to research. It is literally in the Clarion Ledger that JSU was upgrading their athletics facilities back in 2019. Coach Prime took sole credit for what JSU primary did. Deion is a liar and very dishonest.
This entire situation is a cautionary tale on so many different fronts and has revealed how little so many people still understand about HBCUs, their noble and historic struggles, and the deep rooted anti-Blackness that keeps other institutions enriched at our expense. There are so many metaphors for the Black Experience at large. We are so quick to tear down, attack, and denigrate our own while operating with the utmost respect and deference for other institutions. I haven’t been this shocked at attacks on an HBCU in years. But I am standing with BCU always and forever.
Preach Shannon!!! I went to Virginia Union University and played ball there as well. It is a hard-knock life!!! We maybe black, but we're better than this!!!
well whose fault it is that trash is everywhere on the school grounds? Why aren't the kids picking it up they are the ones dropping the trash. Also i'm curious to see how much former players of these HBCU schools give back to the schools after they make it to the NFL
Campus has had these issues going back to 2010. This ain’t nothing new but hbcu people will tell people to not be loud and handle it behind closed doors which doesn’t work because this has been a issue before ed reed. Now people paying attention. And Shannon needs to understand this goes beyond football. Everything there is messed up.
Hello Skip and Shannon. I actually went to Bethune Cookman College. Not Bethune Cookman university, but Bethune Cookman College. I totally agree with you. You have to build these schools up. Not just the athletic programs. I was born and raised in Florida. We have not just hurricanes, but also major storms. Takes time to rebuild.
Well Shannon as we find out now it has to do with some Tomfoolery in the upper Management so it really doesn’t have anything to do with ED going off, As a few chairmen of the board said that they felt that they would not be able to control ED Reed.
The school did right by not hiring him. Ed was wrong with the way he went about it and ruined his own self. Don't try to blame the higher ups in the school for Ed behavior.
Exactly what I said!! 💯 And I think when Ed said that he wanted them to just stay out of his football program.... All while he got Shaq and big donors ready to invest.... Naw they didnt like that!!! This is a Blessing for Ed!!! Take your skills and kids somewhere more worthy!!!
@@davidmoody1235 Ed apologized and tried to offer an olive branch FOR THE SAKE OF THE KIDS!!! The school administrators dgaf about them kids. They put PETTINESS above the institution!! They won this battle and lost the war!!!
Cant control Ed but wanted his services as an All Pro NFL Super bowl Champion. Now these HBCU's trying to duplicate hiring HOF coaches one at a time. Ed going off on IG added to the already strong personality he demonstrated that's why no contract was signed. They were split (Board of Trustees) on the hire. School came out and said he was the coach. After IG post?? No way! The 4 members told the other 6 members "We told y'all this 2 weeks ago!!🤷♀️🤷♀️
my high school back in 90s we had just 1 coach for the football team. we did all right, but my 3rd year of high school the football team had to be shut down because the school couldnt afford it anymore.
The Chairman basically feel the same way and they told the same thing to the Boss in charge but had a law suit on them so there is a lot that you guys are missing. And no not every HBCU including Prey view looks as bad as BCM. Prairie View is actually a clean up to date School.
Kinda mad he threw PV in there. They may not be getting all the money the state of Texas owes them, but the school is in really good shape. Every HBCU is not in the shape they are making it out to be
"Passionate" in this case means childish. Not understanding what would be needed to EFFECTIVELY address the results of decades of underfunding shows a bizarre lack of awareness of the disadvantages HBCU's have traditionally faced.
Whistleblowers don't speak to admin because they get fired...just as he did. The interview with the AD at Bethune-Cookman was very telling, the firing was not about his lack of professionalism, it was clearly in retaliation for whistleblowing.
I came here because Ed Reed called out unc. And I don't see Unc saying anything worth calling him out for. Weak men masquerade as strong men by calling out others for no reason.
The Board of Governors, The President, and the rest of executive administrative staff do not care about the students. They're too busy lining their pockets with government money.
I wish tthat hey had someone with thorough knowledge of the HBCU plight on this topic. It would have been a great addition to this needed conversation.
3:07 Love how Skip Bayless (my dude) recognizes he isn't astute here. And asks for help to understand. I know yall don't like him, and probably with Good Reason. But this white man, from OK, raised by a Black Woman, don't know nothing to do but RIIIIDDDE!!! Jordan, Brady, Cowboys. And at least he's asking for help to understand. Most of them gives NAY damn!!! He tries, daily and provides platform for the Great Shannon Sharpe!!! He did the same for Stephen A!! Michael Jordan (who doesnt or didn't) need it necessarily. Michael Irvin too!!! I like SKIP BAYLESS. He is a Rider!!
The strategic move would have been to record a video first, using tactful language to highlight the issues, but hold it. Then approach the Admin and give them an opportunity to correct the issues. After some reasonable period of time, if the Admin doesn't act, release the video, but only if you're prepared to face the consequence of losing your position. Ed Reed overplayed his leverage and denied the very real presence of human ego. Office politics 101.
I don't know the whole story so I disqualify my post as an opinion but I side with SS on this one: this is Missionary work. You can't have expectations of greatness, excellence in a situation like this. You're going to have to be both Superman and Clark (actually a better example would be Daredevil and Rup. Murdock). Keep your head down and grind that ish out and transform it into a powerhouse school in athletics.
This part!!! Sums it up. Just like in education, we take jobs in underfunded schools with parents and students that don't always care, with the goal of leaving the place better than you found it. You show up everyday because you have a job and mission and a calling. Any educator can drag the public school system or you do like most of us and work with what you are given and try your best to make a difference each day. Ed Reed hasn't learned how to get along to get along. I agree with Sharpe, it is a way to handle things.
These NON HBCUs in the comments talking. Ed Reed didn't get hired because he went to social media like a City girl instead of handling ish like a real man. I'm not defending BCU bad ish but let's be real Ed Reed at fault for his own messing. BCU will get a REAL MAN A REAL COACH to coach the team. See ya Ed Reed
BCU has been a dump for years even before the two hurricanes. The hurricanes didn’t strike them as badly as they’re saying so they’re just using that as an excuse. Also, BCU within the last 5-10 years lost their accreditation for a while. Myself and others I know wanted to go to BCU but because they had lost their accreditation, we decided to go elsewhere.
Well let's hope a hurricane doesn't come and hit your house. Hurricanes are never a small thing to be taking lightly and the school was not using that as an excuse ,it was in fact a good excuse.
The hurricanes have nothing to do with it there’s a community college and embry riddle right down the road who haven’t had buildings infested with mold, if you’ve ever lived in Daytona you would know it’s not the hurricanes 😂
@@davidmoody1235 you right they should have just kept sleeping with it they said they slope in there cars filed complaint tried to clean it they did nothing and now that they have a light they using there voice to speak to us bout it
Ed too emotional to lead. You can’t cuss out your employer and go live with it. He did that too himself. He means well but he needs serious PR training
Ed saw the results of Prime's work at Jackson state and thought that's what all the HBCU's were doing. I guess he missed the part where Prime was putting in the work behind the scenes and outsourcing for assistance to get Jackson state lifted up. Ed was wrong to blast them like that because there's ALREADY an assumption about HBCUs but the school also needed that pressure applied.
Yep. Blasted them without getting the full story. And made himself look bad in the process. Unk like always gives you the whole truth. There is a right way to go about things. Ed probably cost himself a career in coaching at any school with his outbursts.
Who's to say he didn't go to the administration first, he got tired n reached a boiling point n blew up. Make change n force their hand. I know he will be a coach somewhere. There's a college looking for a coach and Ed Reed will become a coach. BC didn't deserve him but in the court of public opinion Ed reed did what he had to do. Then they lied on his name too.
It wasn't that BCU was underfunded, as many HBCU's are. It was that they didn't take care of what they had and didn't care to change it. If all you can afford is a 1998 Corolla, take care of it like it's a 2023 Mercedes. Until one day you can afford a new Mercedes. It doesn't take but effort and planning to do it. Ed didn't expect millions to pour in. He expected a higher standard with the resources they had, and that was too much for them.
Jackson State University was already upgrading it's athletics facilities ... Deion helped donated half his salary but Jackson State was already in the process of moving forward ... prime did his homework, not sure if that's the case with Ed Reed 🤷🏼♂️
@@itsmebedazzle Morgan state offer him job there they even spent millions on football field.that money just want to used them kids just like the school
You can’t go on social media to bad mouth your employer and expect to keep your job. Ed had valid concerns but he went about it the wrong way. And the fact he attributed it to the “broken minds” of the people running is filled with condensation and out of touch with reality.
I agree wholeheartedly with Shannon and Skip. Ed Reed should have had a conference with administrators and discussed all his concerns first. If they refused or didn't respond adequately, then he could have changed his mind and not taken the job. However, his constant belittling of the university was not going to change things.
Those students said there were issues b4 the hurricane. A former student commented on 1 of Roland vids that attended n 07 said the school was like that back then
Janitorial and lawn service contracts aren’t cheap. Savior complex is absolutely correct. Remember Ed announced that he was going to be a patriots coach early and never got the job.
In January 2019 they were “searching” for 20 plus million that was given to them for new dormitories. They have had management and leaders who can’t lead or manage.
From what we’ve seen from Prime and Reed’s experience with HBCUs, I think leadership especially at the top is rotten at the core. It’s time to replace overhaul HBCU leadership because they seem to be either apathetic or corrupt about their own institutions,

Where is the money going if the school is operating at such a low level??
This is the $64,000 question..... If all these HBCU's produce doctors lawyers businessmen government employees and HALL OF FAME athletes every year.... Why cant they get their alumni to donate money back into the school??? Ill give you one theory..... The students see that over their time at that school certain things NEVER got fixed or never got cleaned. No matter how much fund raising or donations were given. And they know theres a question about the priority of these funds!! WHERE IS THE MONEY GOING?? These administrators have carved out a nice little hustle for themselves. Its like claiming a failed business for tax purposes. Whos gonna give them folks money when they know they never see the fruits if all this "fundraising!" Its a damn shame.
@@nitroluskincaid I agree Or donations are kept by Administration with the power and knowledge to sweep it away for their own funding. Theres no way all these schools have the same problems and not one PROSPERS unless they are all being taken advantage of by administration, Accounting, or Poor funding/poor use of funds procured, or Victims of the same ol same mentality thats to me shouldn't be acceptable by anyone. These schools need to stand together and DEMAND CHANGE. For higher ups to open the books and find a solution and reasons WHY? why are we suffering at SCHOOL????? WHY? Change will never come unless the schools enduring these shameful situations daily STAND UP AND SAY ENOUGH!
@@nitroluskincaid Thank you i appreciate it
I am a HBCU alumni. It isn't just about people & alumni not donating money its about the money they're donating disappearing or being used inappropriately.
Thank you! Somebody said what it really looks like out there.
Everyone there should be fired that has anything to do with the money situation
U got greedy fools at the top of these hbcu's... ALWAYS HAVE ALWAYS WILL
You're right that that's not all that it's about, but it's a major part of it. The rate of HBCU donations is too low. I was invited to speak at an HBCU in Texas a few months ago and I donated most of my speaking fee to the university. the best HBCUs are generally pretty well run. Ed Reed's tantrums have done a lot of damage to the perception of these schools.
@@keenannorris3309 he was going to bring in plenty of money there was so many millionaires willing to donate but now not so much
As a recent graduate of BCU 2016-2021 (undergrad and grad)... these problems that Ed brought to the world have always been at BCU. The best thing that can happen from this is that they reconsider Ed Reed to be the HC, because anyone that gets this job now has to have those issues addressed before signing a contract. Let Reed and his donors do that that they told him they would do. And the University keeps its money to go where it's needed in other places.
Also an HBCU alum ('00), I saw it back in the 90s as well. I also studied at a PWI and saw not just the disparity in funding, but a flagrant neglect with HBCU's to take care of what they already had. Ed wanted standards to be raised and with those standards and in time, funding will follow.
Yeah into they pockets, they ain’t putting no money into those school. Benedict College is/was the same way them jokas was running thru there with choppas.
Ed don't need to be over kids, that man unhinged
@@Executnr how do you know?
@@Executnr this man has been working with kids for over 20 years. He was on the Miami football team staff as well. C'mon man really
It took the players from Grambling St University to publicly humiliate the university into building a suitable facility for them to practice and play. Sometimes it takes public outcry to get these administrators to get up off of their behinds to do right by the students
The polite obedient game doesn’t work all the time so you gotta flip the table sometimes
So perhaps he took the hit for the next coach. Maybe that was his goal. I doubt it
Thank you.
I respect Ed for what he is desiring to do with the students and the school, but he handled this dituation wrong. He should have stepped to the administration in private first. If no reasonable progress was made after an agreed upon period of time then he could have rightfully put them on blast.
Also I read an article on the condition of the buildings. One had a leaking pipe that a freshmen said was leaking when her mom was there.
*It wasn't meant for Ed Reed to Coach Bethune-Cookman. BC wasn't ready for Ed and Ed wasn't ready for BC. I'm just glad the trap house now finally got surveillance footage! This was a necessary punch in the mouth for BC, HBCUs, The Black Community, and the American Community.*

This what the best take I’ve heard
You don’t need donors to do something simple as cleaning up. These people just don’t care and that’s what Ed was showing
A ghetto school is wat it looked like 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly! It wasn't a funding issue because ed got student athletes to clean it up for free. The school admin just didn't care.
Exactly
‼️
They need a new BOT because they’re the issue as of now with the situation.
The one time I visited Bethune Cookman, I was surprised out how bad the conditions were. And I lived in NC, home of FSU, NC Central, A&T, and St. Augustine. The conditions at those HBCU’s weren’t the BEST, but they took pride in the campus and it was clean and kept up to the degree their resources would allow. Bethune Cookman was not thT
That what I’m saying because one day hbcu do right is keep the outside clean bcu is a hbcu who gave up
“Go to admin first”
How do You know he didn’t??
They knew about it and had to have approached before. The second Ed got the boot, everybody started confirming his claims and protesting. Sometimes taking somebody to Front Street is necessary when they're bullshitting you.

Comment of the week 😂😂
Sadly, this incident will take Brett Farve further out of the Media, so we can forget. Thanks for adding that Criminal to the conversation. It is relivent.
The mismanagement and thievery aren't just at HBCU's. Watch how the National Media plays this if there is some " funny money dealings " around BCU. Not excusing it but most schools have scandals " Penn State" a few years back.
Not for Black Folks!
Those kids were out there sharing helmets.
Basically they want Ed Reed to take on a project and be quiet about it. Salute to Ed for being vocal
He was dumb
They were sharing MOLDY helmets and gear. They helmets, gloves, jerseys, pads - it all got moldy. No locker room. No shower. No safe or even clean or even dry storage places to put equipment and personal belongings while practicing or in a game.
And folks wonder why Deion left Jackson State
He came to them, he had to know what he was getting himself into.
@@nicholasjordan7334 how is he supposed to know about the moldy equipment? Even in middle school football teams have locker rooms and clean gear. It's assumed that this basic thing, gear not being moldy, is taken care of.
Ed is completely right. If you're going to bring him in to turn the school around, how are you going to do that showing kids a dirty campus with mold in the dorms? Having the campus clean is literally the first thing in having a viable college
He wasn't there to turn the school around he was there to coach football now the mold should of came to light before ed reed got there but a football coach do turn a whole college around just the football program with a few extras at time that the school might come up off
Take his accomplishments away can you honestly say you want someone who gets mad based on twitter comments and get on the internet in his feelings his first LIVE comments weren’t just about the school it was him mad at comments ppl made you want him leading your boy into manhood? If his name wasn’t Ed Reed
I like Ed's passion, but he should've Kept it internal..talk to administration and curse them out, not on IG. .students still have to go there..Im a HBCU product....so how he went about it was completely wrong
SS meant that change comes slow even in what you suggested, it shouldnt but it does.
@@antoniosmith7964 Ed Reed was there to do more than coach football & that’s blatantly obvious.
And it wasn’t just the mold. First, they didn’t even have the decency to clean his office. There was trash all over campus & even more trash hoarded in buildings. Ed Reed even commented about drug addicts casually strolling around on campus & these are things he just noticed in over a week.
Admins already know its unacceptable. Now they have to address it because it went public. Admins aren't blind but they'll take their pay
At least 40 million or more is needed to make repairs . Where does the institute get that type of money?
@@DD-cs7kl all the repairs don't have to be done all at once. Bethune-cookman tuition is about 15k per student and they have almost 3800 students enrolled there. Thats 56 mill right there. Now I know they have salaries etc to pay...but let's not act like these universities don't have the money. They just don't bring in revenue as PWI
Don't take 40 million to get equipment
To true good comment
@@significantnobody823 Salaries and fringe benefits usually cover at minimum about 80 percent of program cost. They dont have money . Most HBCUs barely break even . Look at the Financial reports for BC
BCU is one of the most expensive universities. Still no word on the 25 million that went missing few years back
The administration stole it, how they all got bmw's n Benz's?
Let's not forget one of the most terrible facilities anywhere in the country trust me it's a sad sight to see
Any coach that accepts this job, without making Bethune Cookman address the issues Ed exposed first, will not be taken seriously.
I drive by Bethune almost everyday.
why are those issues the responsibility of the head coach? the administration has to handle that.
@@Kevinschart correct. But the next coach needs to hold BC accountable or things will never be fixed. If the next coach accepts the job before the school pledges to improve, the students will suffer.
Bethune lost credibility to me when they announced him as a coach without a signed contract... not the sign of a good org to me. And honestly sounds like an attempt to trap him by saying he is our coach prematurely, so he would sign a lesser contract.
Couldn’t agree more

I don't think it was so much Ed blasting the institution than it was Ed getting his story out first, from his mouth, with evidence. It would've been way too easy for the rumors to start circulating and ppl badmouthing Ed for leaving the program, if he didn't show firsthand what he was working with.

FACT 🙏🏾
Ed is right. We just didn’t need the yelling and cussing.
It's not just the HBCUs. Please do not denigrate these institutions. The dedicated educators at those schools do not deserve that. I am a tenured professor at San Jose State University. Our campus is in the middle of the city (San Jose, CA). Our problems w/ housing, homelessness, etc. are many and probably worse than at Bethune-Cookman. Conditions are rough for students and for many faculty.
@@keenannorris3309 The difference between HBCUs and other schools is that HBCUs will change when outed. Normally other schools still won’t do it. And I never have anything against professors and faculty. It’s the head administration and the allocation of funds.
A change of mindset is needed by the staff of most of our HBCUs. We are too comfortable in mediocrity.
💯
$$$$
And you hear about mold & mildew in the dorms
So donate, and get your network to donate, some real money to the HBCUs. Don't just trash them. The difference in quality is directly related to a difference in funding.
I do donate and everytime my Alumnae Association has a fundraiser, my sorority sisters and I are on the Frontline leading the charge. However, it takes more than money to solve these decades of problems. A change in mindset must occur in order to sustain progress. Onwards and upwards...AA&MU Bulldogs

HBCU's have problems that we all know but afraid to speak on. We as a community love to point blame at everyone else for our shortcoming but we dont hold ourself to the same requirment. Have family and been to most HBCU's in Atlanta, Philly and midwest like Morgan, Lincoln, Clarke Atlanta etc. We spend money on houses , cars, other B.S but we dont ever support these schools they way our racial counterparts at their respective university's. I have been hearing and seeing this for 30 years and here we are again. Glad Sanders and Reed at least giving this some light.
If HBCU were given the same funding as most PWI schools we wouldn't be having this discussion. For ex. Prairive View A&M is fully funded in Texas and they have a very beaufitful campus and endowment support as well. Also, they are ranked #3 as the best school to attend. I am not a alumni of their university but pride they are receiving their blessing.
@@2vcious
Public HBCUs rely on federal, state, and local funding more heavily than their non-HBCU counterparts (54 percent of overall revenue vs. 38 percent).
Private HBCUs are also more tuition-dependent than their non-HBCU counterparts (45 percent tuition-dependent compared with 37 percent tuition-dependent).
Private gifts, grants, and contracts make up a smaller percentage of overall revenue for private HBCUs relative to their non-HBCU counterparts (17 percent vs. 25 percent).
The government via taxes, via White people finance HBCUs. The issue is those schools do not produce enough wealthy graduates or those graduates do not donate enough. Also habitual mismanagement. Or put another way, White people do more for those schools than Blacks
The staff and administration is responsible. Tired of mediocre and survival mindset. They should at least clean the damn campuses and facilities.

Hello Skip and Shannon. I actually went to Bethune Cookman College. Not Bethune Cookman university, but Bethune Cookman College. I totally agree with you. You have to build these schools up. Not just the athletic programs. I was born and raised in Florida. We have not just hurricanes, but also major storms. Takes time to rebuild.
Well Shannon as we find out now it has to do with some Tomfoolery in the upper Management so it really doesn’t have anything to do with ED going off, As a few chairmen of the board said that they felt that they would not be able to control ED Reed.
This 100% has to do with the "university" not wanting this type of image.
The school did right by not hiring him. Ed was wrong with the way he went about it and ruined his own self. Don't try to blame the higher ups in the school for Ed behavior.

School came out and said he was the coach. After IG post?? No way! The 4 members told the other 6 members "We told y'all this 2 weeks ago!!🤷♀️🤷♀️
my high school back in 90s we had just 1 coach for the football team. we did all right, but my 3rd year of high school the football team had to be shut down because the school couldnt afford it anymore.
High school students don't pay room board and tuition
The Chairman basically feel the same way and they told the same thing to the Boss in charge but had a law suit on them so there is a lot that you guys are missing. And no not every HBCU including Prey view looks as bad as BCM. Prairie View is actually a clean up to date School.
Kinda mad he threw PV in there. They may not be getting all the money the state of Texas owes them, but the school is in really good shape. Every HBCU is not in the shape they are making it out to be
Prairie View A&M University is actually in great condition. Please make sure you have facts before assuming all HBCUs are in poor condition.
"Passionate" in this case means childish. Not understanding what would be needed to EFFECTIVELY address the results of decades of underfunding shows a bizarre lack of awareness of the disadvantages HBCU's have traditionally faced.
Whistleblowers don't speak to admin because they get fired...just as he did. The interview with the AD at Bethune-Cookman was very telling, the firing was not about his lack of professionalism, it was clearly in retaliation for whistleblowing.
Is that why my dorm room at Tennessee State looked like a project development in Queens NY?
Y’all need to have ED Reed on the show: put him on frist take ….
I came here because Ed Reed called out unc. And I don't see Unc saying anything worth calling him out for. Weak men masquerade as strong men by calling out others for no reason.
Shannon Sharpe is a stand up guy 🤴🏾👍🏾
Yeah, it always had been since we grew up as kids
@@apostlearthuryoung_55 U grew up wit Unc??
This applies to accepting any job, research the company (employer) and visit and tour the department/office/facility/buildings.
The Board of Governors, The President, and the rest of executive administrative staff do not care about the students. They're too busy lining their pockets with government money.
I wish tthat hey had someone with thorough knowledge of the HBCU plight on this topic. It would have been a great addition to this needed conversation.
3:07 Love how Skip Bayless (my dude) recognizes he isn't astute here. And asks for help to understand. I know yall don't like him, and probably with Good Reason. But this white man, from OK, raised by a Black Woman, don't know nothing to do but RIIIIDDDE!!! Jordan, Brady, Cowboys. And at least he's asking for help to understand. Most of them gives NAY damn!!! He tries, daily and provides platform for the Great Shannon Sharpe!!! He did the same for Stephen A!! Michael Jordan (who doesnt or didn't) need it necessarily. Michael Irvin too!!! I like SKIP BAYLESS. He is a Rider!!
The strategic move would have been to record a video first, using tactful language to highlight the issues, but hold it. Then approach the Admin and give them an opportunity to correct the issues. After some reasonable period of time, if the Admin doesn't act, release the video, but only if you're prepared to face the consequence of losing your position. Ed Reed overplayed his leverage and denied the very real presence of human ego. Office politics 101.
I don't know the whole story so I disqualify my post as an opinion but I side with SS on this one: this is Missionary work. You can't have expectations of greatness, excellence in a situation like this. You're going to have to be both Superman and Clark (actually a better example would be Daredevil and Rup. Murdock).
Keep your head down and grind that ish out and transform it into a powerhouse school in athletics.
This part!!! Sums it up. Just like in education, we take jobs in underfunded schools with parents and students that don't always care, with the goal of leaving the place better than you found it. You show up everyday because you have a job and mission and a calling. Any educator can drag the public school system or you do like most of us and work with what you are given and try your best to make a difference each day. Ed Reed hasn't learned how to get along to get along. I agree with Sharpe, it is a way to handle things.
These NON HBCUs in the comments talking. Ed Reed didn't get hired because he went to social media like a City girl instead of handling ish like a real man. I'm not defending BCU bad ish but let's be real Ed Reed at fault for his own messing. BCU will get a REAL MAN A REAL COACH to coach the team. See ya Ed Reed
BCU has been a dump for years even before the two hurricanes. The hurricanes didn’t strike them as badly as they’re saying so they’re just using that as an excuse. Also, BCU within the last 5-10 years lost their accreditation for a while. Myself and others I know wanted to go to BCU but because they had lost their accreditation, we decided to go elsewhere.
Well let's hope a hurricane doesn't come and hit your house. Hurricanes are never a small thing to be taking lightly and the school was not using that as an excuse ,it was in fact a good excuse.
@David Moody it's not a good excuse if students complained about the same issues BEFORE the hurricanes
@@davidmoody1235it was 4 months ago. They could’ve cleaned it up to be presentable by now
The hurricanes have nothing to do with it there’s a community college and embry riddle right down the road who haven’t had buildings infested with mold, if you’ve ever lived in Daytona you would know it’s not the hurricanes 😂
@@kells9492 The School has moved on from Ed Reed. I think you should move on also.
Ed Reed needs to understand he won’t win against the system. He needs to calm down and reset if he hopes to ever get a HC job.
Come on Unc so what you say bout the students that feel the same way
Why didn't the students speak up a long time ago before they thought they were getting another celebrity athlete to use their school as a come up.
@@davidmoody1235 you right they should have just kept sleeping with it they said they slope in there cars filed complaint tried to clean it they did nothing and now that they have a light they using there voice to speak to us bout it
Ed too emotional to lead. You can’t cuss out your employer and go live with it. He did that too himself. He means well but he needs serious PR training
Ed Reed would be a Great Social worker not a Business man in football
“I bet I stole 50 packs of gum, never seen so much gum”😂
He leaving with something 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Shannon comes from humble beginnings and it’s great to hear those stories.
No really he starts fights with NBA players if it was a white man it would be different white man would be thrown out the game cause he's white
Ed saw the results of Prime's work at Jackson state and thought that's what all the HBCU's were doing. I guess he missed the part where Prime was putting in the work behind the scenes and outsourcing for assistance to get Jackson state lifted up. Ed was wrong to blast them like that because there's ALREADY an assumption about HBCUs but the school also needed that pressure applied.
Yep. Blasted them without getting the full story. And made himself look bad in the process. Unk like always gives you the whole truth. There is a right way to go about things. Ed probably cost himself a career in coaching at any school with his outbursts.
Awful take here
Bcu way different situation than JSU was when Deon got there.
Who's to say he didn't go to the administration first, he got tired n reached a boiling point n blew up. Make change n force their hand. I know he will be a coach somewhere. There's a college looking for a coach and Ed Reed will become a coach. BC didn't deserve him but in the court of public opinion Ed reed did what he had to do. Then they lied on his name too.
But that "assumption" is usually right.
I just gained a lot of respect for Ed Reed! Thank you for educating the world.
It wasn't that BCU was underfunded, as many HBCU's are. It was that they didn't take care of what they had and didn't care to change it. If all you can afford is a 1998 Corolla, take care of it like it's a 2023 Mercedes. Until one day you can afford a new Mercedes. It doesn't take but effort and planning to do it. Ed didn't expect millions to pour in. He expected a higher standard with the resources they had, and that was too much for them.
They do what hbcu besides bcu have trash everywhere. Most hbcu keep they outside clean
Shannon is so right here...love Ed Reed but he's no Deion when it comes to tact and salesmanship...way too emotional, that's just his nature
Jackson State University was already upgrading it's athletics facilities ... Deion helped donated half his salary but Jackson State was already in the process of moving forward ... prime did his homework, not sure if that's the case with Ed Reed 🤷🏼♂️
That's what I am thinking. Did Ed even tour the entire campus ahead of time?
@@itsmebedazzle Morgan state offer him job there they even spent millions on football field.that money just want to used them kids just like the school
ED Reed was going to coach for FREE no salary that why it is crazy they already fired him from a coaching job he was not going to get paid for
@@BloxStarzLifestyle he wasn't fired. They took the offer away.
Love Mr. Sharpe's take on this. I was worried he would be a little more biased toward Reed who is good friends with Coach Prime. Good job Mr. Sharpe.
Mold in the dorms is inhumane
This! Im glad it's being exposed for the world to see
Thanks for the UMES bigup! ✊🏿
You can’t go on social media to bad mouth your employer and expect to keep your job. Ed had valid concerns but he went about it the wrong way. And the fact he attributed it to the “broken minds” of the people running is filled with condensation and out of touch with reality.
It had to be exposed
This was on Ed Reed no doubt.
Prior coaches have been asking the same thing and no results
I agree wholeheartedly with Shannon and Skip. Ed Reed should have had a conference with administrators and discussed all his concerns first. If they refused or didn't respond adequately, then he could have changed his mind and not taken the job. However, his constant belittling of the university was not going to change things.
Dang, Reed was like Craig in 'Friday,' except he got fired before starting work! 🤦🏾♂️
Those students said there were issues b4 the hurricane. A former student commented on 1 of Roland vids that attended n 07 said the school was like that back then
I agree with Shannon. Ed Reed handled this wrong, though I think his heart is in the right place.
He handled it right actually.
Janitorial and lawn service contracts aren’t cheap. Savior complex is absolutely correct. Remember Ed announced that he was going to be a patriots coach early and never got the job.
Shannon’s first sentence was so true, a lot of HBCU’s have that problem.
In January 2019 they were “searching” for 20 plus million that was given to them for new dormitories. They have had management and leaders who can’t lead or manage.
From what we’ve seen from Prime and Reed’s experience with HBCUs, I think leadership especially at the top is rotten at the core. It’s time to replace overhaul HBCU leadership because they seem to be either apathetic or corrupt about their own institutions,
How when most of campus are clean and lot of them have folks who work for big schools and companies as leaders
