An incident during a college basketball game between Norfolk State University and Illinois State University highlighted the ugly side of college sports when a fan directed a racial slur at Norfolk State's star guard, Jamarii Thomas. Norfolk State's head coach, Robert Jones, confronted the officials about the incident, while Illinois State's head coach, Ryan Pedon, tried to intervene and downplayed the situation. The fans responsible were ejected, but the incident serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by Black players at predominantly white institutions.
