Charleston White is known online for his controversial views – but he recently had one that was just straight up-wrong about an HBCU.
While speaking on “The Danza Project,” White got on the subject of Bethune Cookman University and its alleged lack of ability to launch players in to the NFL.
“Bethune College is like a special ed HBCU,” Charleston White said. “Ain’t no muth****in’ college you jump up and say ‘say that boy going to the NFL. Nowhere in the history of Bethune College have anybody made it to the NFL.
Well, besides the fact that the school has not ever been named “Bethune College” – it was once known as Bethune-Cookman College – he was also dead wrong about the Bethune-Cookman alumni in the NFL.
A total of 40 players, according to Football Reference, have played in the NFL. Thirty-two of them have been drafted. One of them, Larry Little, is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
