I'm sure you're referring to football here because 25% of the male basketball coaches are minorities which is an almost exact mirror of the US population (74.7% white and 25.3% Minority).
Now, this brings up an interesting question. Should these numbers reflect the population of the area where the school is located or reflect the student body's ethnicity? I'm not sure.
These numbers are fundamentally skewed in favor of the minorities making the claims. The reason I say this is that these numbers do not reflect coaching staff, AD's, etc. The head coach's job is just more visible.
Personally, I think affirmative action destroys the world of competitive promotions. I love the theory, it just doesn't work. It screws over some very capable people based on their ethnicity. In turn, creating an atmosphere of discrimination.
I ask you this, in the list of 114 "Historically Black Colleges", how many of those schools have white head coaches? How many white students? Would the world be in an uproar is there were an actual list of "Historically White Colleges"?
