College Coaches - Are you being pressured to recruit more DIVERSITY?

It’s called racism. Many coaches are being told to do this and it is not legal.

Nope, not getting this at all. The college, and the team, has a nice mix of kids.

...Well, except almost all of them are smart. But otherwise very diverse.

I really doubt it is happening in football, basketball or baseball.

You were not told you would not get any future raises. That is illegal and you are being dramatic. I do believe the issue of diversity was mentioned, that is standard conversation in the collegiate, liberal world. No admin would violate title 6 or 9 and tell you that you will face consequences if you do not recruit more diversity.

To answer your question, diversity depends on event area. Most coaches do not need to worry about diversity recruits.

I just had my yearly evaluation and I was told I didn't recruit enough diversity. My administrator said if I don't recruit more diversity then I can miss out on future pay increases. Is anyone else dealing with this from their administration?

My school is up north where it's cold, and we are a very expensive private school. I'm lucky to get ANY recruits to come here, now they want to to prioritize recruits of a certain color?

I am getting pressured to recruit more minorities. Part of my evaluation is the diversity of my recruiting class. I actually need to submit a list of the minorities that I bring in for official visits and the minorities that commit. Since raises are solely based on evaluations, my pay can be affected by the number of minorities I recruit.

The system is broken. Not surprisingly, I was specifically told Asians don't count as diversity.

I love fake grievances. Next tell me about how your female athletes falsely accused you of something. I want to hear the hits.

The broke system might only be comprised of your school. Encouraging diversity in recruiting athletes is illogical.

Why don't Women"s basketball teams recruit more hetrosexual Women for the sake of diversity?

Gee, I wonder why people who aren’t white don’t want to run for you. White grievance politics is sure attractive to young people of color. Do you lecture recruits about how CRT makes white people hate themselves and how BLM is a terrorist movement too? Recruit women by whining about how feminism emasculates men and bitches be crazy?

You are deranged, you should seek help. This has nothing to do with politics. I'm not even white.

So much triggered soy here...like a little little tofu hand grenade!

You probably don't believe a sitting governor of NY would sexually harass his staff because it's illegal too.

I can certainly see where an administrator would try to send the message that there would be repercussions if there wasn't greater diversity in recruiting.

Asians do make up the majority of the world's population. Everyone else is a minority.

Unfortunately, here we go again. First, let's learn about the foundation of the USA. Hint: founded on the backs of Black slaves. Second, Diversity makes the World way more progressive and fair, than let's say, um vanill6. Third, it is the RIGHT thing to do. Fourth, nobody cares about your objections to the above.

“I’m not even white.”

Lolllll for days. The fragile whiteness drips off you bud.

Weird too because in your first post you suggest getting non-white people to go to a school where it’s cold is somehow impossible…if you were actually not white you’d know from your own experience being there that it’s not a barrier.

I can’t recruit people who aren’t white because it’s cold!

Being the sort of person that whines about the diversity conspiracy on a message board filled with incels who get off on making racist posts is your problem, not the weather.

You are the only racist here, accusing someone of "fragile whiteness".

He said the fact that the school is in a cold climate and expensive makes it so NOBODY wants to go there.

Colleges in the south have more blacks than colleges in the north. Thise are facts. Why do facts upset people when they don't quite support their agenda. Track teams in the north are more white than teams in the south.

As letsrun loves to tell runners, shut up, stop whining and do your job. Oh waaaah, it’s so hard to make an effort to recruit people who might not immediately consider my school but would if I did anything to make it attractive to them, made them feel wanted and valued, and provided a good program atmosphere.

Did he get the recruiting twisties or something?
