*Ed Reed, the head coach of Bethune-Cookman Wildcats, has issued an apology after slamming the HBCU over the conditions of the campus’ football facilities.
Reed hit up social media on Sunday (Jan. 15) to complain about having to clean up the trash on football grounds. He also noted that once he arrived at Bethune-Cookman University, his office wasn’t set up and ready for his takeover, The Jasmine Brand reports.
“I just pulled up the work. We’re going to try to help y’all too man. Because I know a lot of HBCUs need help. I’m just here to help here first. I see it all too clearly. All of our HBCUs need help. And they need help because of the people who’s running it. Broken mentalities out here. I’m going to leave you with that. I gotta get in the office.”
