Hypocrisy in the highest offices

     They hate federal overreach. They should be appalled at what’s happening in cities all across the United States. Unwarranted National Guard deployments. Seven hundred Marines illegally sent into Los Angeles. Over 2,000 armed agents in Minneapolis. Murders of citizens by immigration agents.

 BLACKPRESSUSA – An 18-wheeler carrying H-E-B merchandise struck a disabled car on US 87 near Dalhart, resulting in the deaths of four young Texas women. Dashcam footage shows their hazard lights flashing before impact. As H-E-B points to subsidiary distance, families wait for accountability.

       Those words framed the entire afternoon. Not as charity. Not as optics. But as access. And in women’s basketball, access still matters—especially for HBCU programs.

     During the HBCU Sports Pod-a-Thon, Grambling athletics director Trayveon Scott sat down with us to talk candidly about what’s really happening inside Grambling Athletics, from the difference between NIL and revenue sharing to how decisions are made, pressure is managed, and how progress is measured in an ever-changing landscape.
