Really?

Don't you think scholarship numbers might have something to do with it? If not, why? if so, why?

Why ask us? We're not college coaches. Ask a college coach, he'll know.

It's rare for the same reason blacks are rare in graduate level mathematics programs.

It's not a matter of *thinking* they can't play running back. If a white guy is the best RB on the team, he'll be playing. No college coaches are trying to lose, trust me.

you could say the same thing about any position that requires explosiveness and speed. it's going to be dominated by black players.

Why don't black guys in America play more Soccer? Why don't white guys in America play more Basketball? Why don't asian guys in America play more Baseball? Because either they don't want too or they suck at it.
