Memo to White High School Football Players: Race Matters!
by J. B. Cash
If you are a white high school football player, or if you are the relative or close friend of a young man who is looking to play college football, it is essential that you follow Caste Football. We are the only ones, and I mean the ONLY ones, that are going to give you the straight information on what schools will give a white kid a shot at some actual playing time.
Parents will spend many hours researching the best college or university to send their children to. They will study everything they can about the curriculum, the student body, the teaching staff, the coaches, and the history of the program. However the one issue they ignore, and perhaps the most important one, is the racial politics of the school and athletic program.
For some odd reason white people are taught to ignore race. "Race doesn't exist." We hear it all the time. "All men are created equal." "Judge a person by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin." These well-worn phrases are all used to convince white people to ignore a basic reality that non-whites realize instinctively: RACE MATTERS. And one place where it matters a lot is in who gets to play on a college football team.
This column is mainly aimed at those white high school football players (or interested friends and family) who are considering playing a skill position in college. By "skill position" I mean running back, receiver, or defensive back. However it is also useful for quarterbacks, tight ends, offensive and defensive linemen, and linebackers, since a school that is at least somewhat "white friendly" toward the skill positions will also be welcoming to players at other positions
Those of you who are being recruited by a major university to play one of the skill positions and imagine yourself running for big gains, catching clutch passes, or making game-breaking interceptions, I would ask you to stop and consider: How many white kids do you see doing that right now?
White athletes who have starred in high school at one of the ball-handling positions and want to parley that success into a college career have to decide which of the following categories they fit into:
* A player that wants to start and star for a big-time college program with an eye to a shot at an NFL career.
* Someone that just wants to play a little while getting a good, and if possible, free education
* Someone that just wants to be on the team and get a degree.
There are very few white players at running back, wide receiver or defensive back that start at Division I-A schools because of the racial caste system that has dominated I-A and the NFL for the past quarter century. I have been reading some of the various scouting services and noticed that there are a few white skill players being recruited, for example in the SEC. Bad move. The SEC, like many major football conferences has very little use for white players, except as practice fodder and sideline cheerleaders.
As an example the 2004 Alabama Crimson Tide had a roster that was about half white. Yet there were only 4 white starters out of 22, 3 o-linemen and the quarterback. To do a little rough math, out of the approximately 50 black players on the team, 36% were starters. Out of the approximately 50 white players on the team, a mere 8% were starters. Quarterback and the offensive line were the only positions where a white kid had even an outside chance of starting for Alabama and it has been that way with that program for many years, which makes one wonder: Why does a white kid who doesn't play QB or O-linemen even bother to make all the sacrifice a football program requires when he has zero chance of playing? Not that Alabama is some kind of exception; it is the norm for most Division I-A football teams.
So listen kids, if you want to play running back, receiver, or defensive back at a Division I-A school here are some tips for you:
1.) Go west young man. Football teams in the West are more white friendly than teams in the East. Some of it has to do with population demographics, as there are less black people in the Western states than in the Eastern and Southern states. But attitudes are different in the West. There is less worship of the black athlete in the West. Perhaps it's because many Westerners see themselves as the heirs to the rugged pioneers that "tamed" the western part of America.
Colleges such as BYU, Colorado State, and Boise State, sometimes feature whites at the "forbidden" positions, something almost unheard of in the South and East. When was the last time Tennessee had a white running back, or the University of Michigan a white receiver, or Florida State a white cornerback? 1980? 1970? Will it ever happen again? Maybe but don't expect it anytime soon.
So why go to one of those schools if you are a white player that wants to play? It's a waste of time. You could be much better than any black player on the team at that position but the coach just won't play you there. Caste Football has documented instances where white high school football stars were told flat-out by recruiters and coaches that they were the wrong color to play certain positions.
The Mountain West and Western Athletic conferences are the best conferences for white skill players in Division I-A football. They will sometimes play whites at running back, receiver and defensive back. Some of those white guys will be stars and get enough attention to get a shot at a pro tryout (think Luke Staley and Brock Forsey).
Unfortunately the Mountain West and WAC are considered second tier conferences. Without an automatic BCS berth the conference champion is frequently looked down upon. Western teams get little TV exposure in the East so big media essentially ignores Western teams.
2.) Uncle Sam wants you! The service academies and military colleges always have a student body composed of a large majority of white men. Many middle class white families still posses that old fashioned pro-U.S. patriotism that is so out of style on the Eastern seaboard. Those families send their sons to these schools to provide the officers for our military, which no matter how wrongly it is sometimes used, is the best in the world. Only a few young men can manage the discipline and skill necessary to graduate from one of those schools, let alone play football AND graduate.
So, due to the unique circumstances of having to possess a high IQ, a disciplined personality, and physical skill, the service academies must turn to white men to play many of the positions reserved for black men at other schools. Hence Army, Navy, Air Force and the Citadel, among others, will often feature white players at running, catching, and pass defending positions.
While we are on the subject of players with high IQs and athletic skill we give tip #3:
3) Think Ivy League. Though the Ivy league is not, strictly speaking, a Division I-A conference (it's Div. I-AA) its schools are so famous that an athlete that plays for one will have the rapt attention of the eastern media. Ivy League schools have to have a student body composed of the smartest students in the country, or risk losing their status as academic powerhouses. Quite simply put that means there are few slots open for non-white students, who on average score hundreds of points lower than their white counterparts on the SATs. Sure the schools can sneak a few affirmative action cases in on the sly but it is nearly impossible for them to find a way to house and educate the type of black "student-athletes" that play football at other universities.
It is nearly impossible to graduate the black football players at any of the Division I-A schools. You hear the complaints all the time. "Oh! So-and-so university is only graduating one percent of the black student-athletes that go there!" Believe me, if the University of Miami can only graduate a few black players with the Mickey Mouse courses the football players take there, what chance does Cornell have to keep the same "students" from flunking out in their first semester?
Watch an Ivy League game some time. It's like watching a game from the 1960s. A few black players scattered here and there, but mostly white players, and they're playing those positions forbidden to them at nearly all other schools. Running back, receiver, and corner back/safety. If you want a good education, and some good exposure for a very long-shot at the pros, the Ivy League is not a bad place for a white player to go.
4). Some schools in the "heartland" also provide opportunities for the skilled white player. The MAC (Mid-American Conference) is composed of schools in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and West Virginia. Those states turn out thousands of great white high school athletes annually who are ignored by the major Div. I-A schools. Some of this surplus talent finds its way to the MAC schools.
Thus MAC schools will feature an occasional white running back and some white receivers and d-backs. The MAC has been upsetting some of the major schools in the last few years, getting bowl invites and, most importantly to those white players interested in playing pro, sending some kids to the NFL. Ben Roethlisberger is from the MAC, and Rob Lee, a cornerback from Northern Illinois, got a serious look from the Buffalo Bills this year as (hold your breath) a cornerback. Eventually someone realized that he was white and cut him, but anyway Rob Lee was THE best white cornerback in college football in 2004, and EMU¡¦s Eric Deslauriers was one of the top receivers.
And there are major programs in the Midwest that will give some white skill players a shot. In the Big Ten, Iowa can be considered "white-friendly." They have had some excellent white wide receivers in recent years  Kevin Kasper and Tim Dwight, went on the play in the NFL while Ed Hinkel, who is playing there now, has pro ability though the NFL rejects excellent white pro prospects at WR every year. Iowa will also give a white player some carries at running back.
Wisconsin has been known to play some white kids in the defensive secondary. Standout safety/punt returner Jim Leonhard starred at Wisconsin and is currently on the Buffalo Bills roster. Purdue usually features a white receiver in its offense. John Standeford graduated in 2004 as the Big 10's all-time leading receiver.
Northwestern is always looking for white talent as they are in a similar situation as a program like Vanderbilt, a school with very high academic standards but stuck in a conference that recruits only blacks at most positions. Ohio State, while not especially friendly to white skill players, is still open to the idea. Dustin Fox starred at CB before moving on to the pros and the Buckeyes have a tradition of great white linebackers.
The following list shows the schools with the highest number of projected starters that were white at the beginning of the 2005 season (of the 22 main offensive and defensive positions). Obviously some players were injured or lost their spots but the list is a good overall indicator of which schools are not afraid to play white players. The list is must-know information for any white high school player interested in actually playing during his time in college. (Thanks to Caste Football's own Colonel Reb for his hard work in putting the list together):
- BYU-19
- Boise State and Ohio-17
- Utah-16
- Army, Wyoming, and Colorado State-15
- Cincinnati, Ball State, Rice, Air Force, and Iowa State-14
- Miami of Ohio, Utah State, North Texas, Navy, and Idaho-13
- Ohio State, Northwestern, Wisconsin, Colorado, Vanderbilt, West Virginia, and Buffalo-12
- Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Kentucky, Florida International, Indiana, Duke, Kansas State, Tulsa, and Arizona State-11
- Notre Dame, Boston College, Illinois, Kansas, Wake Forest, TCU, and California -10
Schools change philosophies as coaches come and go so it is a good idea to keep up to date in these matters. There is no other place on the internet to do this. Please visit Caste Football regularly, especially our discussion board, for the valuable and FREE information we provide in helping to determine which schools are the best match for you.
