Black college football coaches at 15-year low.

The number of African American coaches is the lowest it's been in 15 years. There are now four black head football coaches for all 120 NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision schools (formerly Division I), down from six at the 2008 season open and eight in 1997--the highest number it's been in history, notes a recent study by The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport, a research firm at the University of Florida. The study also showed that whites represent 90.6% of all Division I campus leadership positions, including school presidents, athletic directors, and faculty athletics reps.
