Black College Athletes: Football

Our episode deals with black athletes in college football. We aim to inform, entertain, and further, the dialogue surrounding race and college sports. Our podcast will be roughly 25 minutes and broken into four primary sections. The podcast will begin with a 30-second to one minute introduction. In the introduction, Aidan will introduce our group as the host, review our main topic, and give a "table of contents" type breakdown for the rest of the podcast. In the first section, he will spend about 5 minutes looking at the college football landscape. He'll review demographic statistics, football's economic side, and modern college football's general shape. We want to use this as a foundation before entering the narratives sections. In the second section, we will go over two black college football players' success stories. We chose two players that football fans will recognize but whose stories would also interest non-sports fans. After these stories, we interview a black former college football player. This primary interview will be about ten minutes. We will interview him about his experience as a black athlete on and off the field. After the interview is finished, we'll move into our final section. We will spend five minutes tying the sections together and have a four-way conversation about the future of college football. We want to open a dialogue promoting equity in college football. We will talk about possible changes in the league and what we want to see. We will tie it back to the four previous sections. Lastly, we will add an outro that thanks our listeners and promotes the rest of the Black pod class episodes. We will also include any necessary credits in this section.
