Robin Hughes has been researching Black males and athletes for some time, and concludes what everyone knows, that Black men are largely missing in action on many college and university campuses. They are supposedly one of the most difficult groups to find in higher education--definitely shallower than the pool of Black graduate students and Black professors. Yet Black males make up a large percentage of athletes who receive Division I-A athletic scholarships. So how are universities able to find these athletes? Simply put, they look. So why can't colleges and universities find Black doctorates? It may be because they are looking for African-American male bailers, but they are not seriously looking for African-American scholars. College coaches search and find top athletes, but are faculty search committees looking for Black academicians with the same intensity? Faculty and administrators need to take some pointers from college coaches who are able to find the mythical Black male in such a shallow pool. But perhaps they are better researchers than folks in higher education.
