WASHINGTON WATCH: Poor Treatment Of Black Coaches At The College Level

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that college football is a damn big business. Just the 15 highest-grossing schools brought in a billion dollars in 2010. At many big football schools, the head coach makes more than a million dollars. In fact, some make as much as 5 million — and, clearly, more than the president of the university.

So, the pressure on college coaches to win is enormous. In most cases, if the coach fails to have a winning program in three years, he’s out. Fired. Gone. Unless you’re Jon Embree at the University of Colorado, who was fired after two years.

Now, Embree did have a pretty bad record in the first two seasons, but he inherited a sorry program that had five, consecutive losing seasons before he arrived; and the coach before Embree got a full five years before he got fired. In fact, that coach, who was white — they actually renegotiated his contract after a couple of losing seasons. And, of course, Embree is black.

Floyd Keith the executive director of the Black Coaches and Administrators Association joined Roland Martin from Indianapolis, Indiana, to talk about the treatment of black coaches at the college level.
