A Color Line on the Gridiron?
Suggs, Welch
Chronicle of Higher Education, v45 n36 pA49-A50 May 14 1999

Coaches and administrators offer two suggestions for increasing numbers of black coaches: encouraging presidents and athletics directors to extend search lists, and creating more entry-level opportunities for young black coaches.
