Tuskegee football coach and athletic director Reginald Ruffin suggested last week that Alabama should schedule more games vs. HBCU programs.
Ruffin said Wednesday he received death threats for those comments.
“To see those comments over what was misconstrued from my post—my post was not to suggest to coach [Saban], to tell coach or demand coach or tell him what to do,” Ruffin told HBCU Sports’s Kendrick Marshall. “My post was something that someone asked me what I thought of the situation.”
Alabama coach Nick Saban has been in hot water recently due to his comments about Jackson State and Texas A&M’s potential use of NIL opportunities in recruiting.
