"Black men are overrepresented on revenue generating intercollegiate sports teams. In 2009, they were only 3.6% of undergraduate students, but 55.3% of football and basketball players at public NCAA Division I institutions (Harper, 2012)."
It would probably be called a racist comment if a sports announcer said this, but it appears in The Black Male College Achievement Study.
