Inside ‘The Coach Vick Experience’: How BET Turned a Bold Gamble into a Cultural Phenomenon
We have to be honest at a certain point: what are we comparing HBCU budgets to? Are we comparing it to other FCS programs or smaller FBS programs, or to HBCU sports budgets compared to Virginia Tech, the University of Virginia, or Alabama I’ve seen that element of the framework displayed in the show often, and I think it’s unfair to Norfolk State and to HBCUs.
There are surely several viewers who are not familiar with the HBCU experience but are fans of Michael Vick or curious BET viewers checking out the show. That’s not a great narrative to reinforce in the public consciousness, especially given that HBCUs face their own set of issues and benefit from their own institutional strengths.
