You don't say...
From today's Chronicle of Higher Education:
Leadership positions at the top competitive level of college football are largely held by white men, even though a majority of the athletes they supervise are not white, according to a study released this morning by the Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport at the University of Central Florida. The study found that, in the 2009 season, there were nine minority head coaches at colleges in the Football Bowl Subdivision, commonly known as Division I-A. Seven of those men are African-American, one is Hispanic, and one is Asian-American. By contrast, the study found that 50.4 percent of Division I-A athletes are African-American, 2.1 percent are Hispanic, and 2.3 percent are Asian-American.
No kidding.
