Chicago state Universities men's basketball team is feeling the budget crunch in the state of Illinois. College sports has long been accustomed to be given free money by state tax payers so they can field what is largely segregated sports and in some cases all black teams especially in basketball Chicago state has not had a White player I am willing to say in its schools history and the days of downstate people supporting this urban ghetto school and its basketball program is coming to an end. All State universities need to have no more free lunch for their programs at the expense of tax payers including the University of Illinois and other schools.
Most of these schools fielded teams in sports such as basketball and football that were long unrepresented of the state and consisted much of black participation rates that far exceeded their proportion of the population. Chicago state is the most egregious of these schools being an all-black school and it is set to run out of funds in march. hopefully it will be followed by Western Illinois, Northern Illinois, Eastern Illinois, Southern Illinois, Illinois State and other basketball programs paying their own way to put on their black power basketball quads representing their schools when their own makeup does nothing but represent the South and West sides of Chicago and maybe Rockford, Illinois. Chicago once had another university that had to dismantle its sports infrastructure as it was too costly to run ad this was back in 1998. Universities and colleges need to find a way to be more sustainable and budgeting a top priority to student0athletes is just not the way to go and the state was long overdue to ending tribute to sports athletic programs that had no business getting free lunches from the state. they say that many of these players would be on the streets as most have fathers in jail for drug sales and that is too bad so sad. These men chose to have children without a future and one that consisted of illegal transactions and the amount of spending by the athletic department at Chicago State University and other universities is not a top educational priority.
