The Ty comment bothered me also. As an African American, I feel that race may have played small part in his termination. But then I have to ask myself, "How many other instituions have even given an African American the opportunity to be a Head Coach?" Then I have to wonder what is more racist, Ty's firing or the horrible African American graduation rates at other top football programs? So when I hear fans of other schools brand ND as racist, I wonder why these fans don't call out the Ohio State's, Florida's, USC's and LSU's of the world. How can these institutions continue to make millions off these athletes and fail to educate them? So although ND isn't perfect, it is head and shoulders above most programs.
