and a HOF Monument to Blacks be placed in a prominent place on campus.
Amazing what 17-22 year olds can demand and get due to a high profile game-sport.. when they are “only” football players on free schollies, hopefully there to learn, too.
Whoa!

The real question in this situation as well as all the other madness going on is, where are the adults to simply respond to these demands with a...NO.

Holy cow. It will make your head hurt.
Brennan Eagles, the school's sophomore wide receiver, and Brandon Jones, a senior defensive back, were among the students who posted the statement, detailing a list of actions Longhorn athletes want the university's athletics department to take. These include donating 0.5% of the department's annual earnings to the Black Lives Matter movement and black organizations, establishing a permanent black athletic history exhibit in the Athletics Hall of Fame and renaming parts of the football stadium after Julius Whittier, the first black football letterman at UT-Austin.
In addition to demands specific to the athletics department, athletes also want UT officials to rename campus buildings named after Texans who were proponents of segregation or held other racist views, remove a statue of prominent segregationist James Hogg and discontinue the school song, “The Eyes of Texas,” which has ties to minstrel shows and was created during segregation. Other calls to action include requiring a module on the history of racism at UT and increasing outreach efforts to inner-city schools in Austin, Dallas and Houston.

Tons of Tnetters will agree that this list is reasonable.
