"I think plenty of people write about the men that surround football b/c that's the expectation. Mothers not only give bodies to the sport, they’re giving birth to these players. They're also caring for them in a way that's different from the other people around them" - @traciecanada.bsky.social

The NCAA's early signing period ended today. So it's fitting part 3 of Andscape's #RecrutingWhileBlack series is about the impact of Black mothers on college football recruiting.

This year, universities are giving $228 million to football coaches who failed at coaching football so that they won't coach football anymore.
