Inside ‘The Coach Vick Experience’: How BET Turned a Bold Gamble into a Cultural Phenomenon
The Overstating of HBCUs being under-resourced
There’s a scene where Kijafa Vick is with her college friend at the Wagner game. Her friend notices that Norfolk State’s cheerleaders weren’t at the game, and Kijafa, an HBCU alumna of Hampton University, immediately quips that Norfolk State didn’t have the budget to bring them. Now, I don’t know whether that was insider information Kijafa knew or just a guess based on her experience, but I didn’t like that comment. Do we have to remind the audience every episode that HBCUs are often under-resourced?
