After the Supreme Court ended affirmative action Charles Barkley revealed he will leave $5M in scholarships for Black Auburn students in his will.

If it’s one thing we know about Charles Barkley it’s his love for his Alma Mater Auburn University. Throughout his playing career and broadcast career Barkley has always championed the college to millions around the world. With the Supreme Court gutting affirmative action  Charles is doing his part to ensure black people can always experience Auburn. According to TMZ, the NBA legend will fund students at the university way after he has left this earth. Barkley says he will leave $5 Million to Auburn University in his will.

“That’s just my way of trying to make sure Auburn stays diverse. After that ruling yesterday, my phone was blowing up. I was talking to my friends and said, ‘I need to make sure Black folks always have a place at Auburn.”

African American students only make up 5% of Auburn’s student body. The Supreme Court ruling could almost gut that percentage after its latest ruling. Hopefully, more alumni can step up at other universities to ensure more children can attend the schools they choose. For the SCOTUS to rule Affirmative Action violates the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution is a slap in the face. How this will impact employment has yet to be seen. The move is the latest befuddling moment from the Supreme Court.
