NFL Combine Faces HBCU Representation Concerns + 50 Cent and T.I.’s Family Feuds
Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss the upcoming NFL Scouting Combine, the lack of representation of HBCU athletes in the draft process and the ongoing public feud between 50 Cent and T.I.'s Family.
The 2026 NFL Scouting Combine will run from Thursday, February 26 through Sunday, March 1, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana, giving teams a chance to evaluate top prospects through on-field drills, interviews, and medical testing. The initial list of 319 invitees drew criticism for including no players from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), raising concerns about exposure for HBCU talent. A later update added at least one HBCU player, and others continue to showcase their skills through events like the Allstate HBCU Legacy Bowl, providing scouts additional opportunities to evaluate these athletes ahead of the draft.
50 Cent and T.I. are currently involved in a public feud that has escalated in recent weeks. The tension began over a proposed Verzuz battle that T.I. claims 50 Cent backed out of, sparking disagreements between the two rap veterans. Since then, T.I. has released multiple diss tracks, including “War” and “Right One,” taking shots at 50 Cent’s credibility and trolling behavior. In response, 50 Cent has fired back on social media with memes and provocative posts, including an unflattering image of T.I.’s wife, Tameka “Tiny” Harris, which also drew reactions from T.I.’s son, King Harris. What is going on?
