I always thought if we’re going to do the HBU thing for a FCS game:

1. Make them bring their bands as part of the deal

2. Tie it in to Paul Robeson somehow

How would you tie an HBCU to Paul Robeson?

Should we do the same for school's with great theater departments or top law schools?

He's ours, and I'm proud enough of that. We should celebrate it more.

I think the HCBU games were for the bands and possibly get them a needed pay day. There can be a separate celebration for Robeson.
