Perspective: Ed Reed can help HBCUs — if he doesn’t act like a savior
“Maybe I wouldn’t go on Instagram Live to do it,” Melendez said. “I would address it internally because that’s just who I am, but Ed Reed is Ed Reed. He has a platform. Him and Deion Sanders can do a much better job than I can in saying, ‘Hey this is not acceptable.’ But you know what, I commend that and I applaud that. Clean it up. Do things the right way. Don’t have the mentality of: ‘Hey, who cares? Nobody’s going to see it.
Reed knows the idyllic world of Power Five perks and NFL accommodations, and if he brings his knowledge — and especially his contacts — to his new job, Bethune-Cookman would be better for it. Melendez or Pough could have shouted to the heavens all day about needing benevolent donors, but Reed — and Sanders before him — possesses a greater megaphone. When Sanders publicized his complaints about the practice field at Jackson State, Walmart swooped in and built him a new one.
Reed must have sensed the higher calling. Now he should notice everyone else who has stayed to uplift the legacies of the ancestors and guide the new generation. His hand might be more famous, but it’s not the only one on the plow. His peers in coaching, such as Pough, are also doing the dirty work. So many other devoted yet unrecognized men and women are trying to save HBCUs, too. Maybe the problem isn’t their “broken mentality” but rather aReed’s outrage was warranted. HBCUs do need help.
