Hornung, In Black And White (washingtonpost.com)

Pretty good write up on the complicted issue. I think there is a similar problem with law schools, colleges and affirmative action too though. The point to make is that there are only so many of these students that are minorities and can be outstanding legal scholars (or win football games) at the same time. College athletes have another problem in that they also have to do ok at school. This pool of people is very small (how many people are qualified for Yale Law School? How many are black? How many other schools also want this black qualified student?) Hornung statement is racist, but reasonably explained away by Wilbon.
