None of these things mean that a Black person "hates White people" or you as an individual.

If you can't understand why Black students would feel insulted by the glorification of people who fought a losing war to keep their ancestors as slaves, that says more about you than them. The CSA lasted a shorter amount of time than Nirvana. Pokemon Go has now existed for longer than the CSA did. It isn't the be all end all of my culture as a White Southerner, and it sucks that people pretend it is.

People can demand respect for themselves without disrespecting you. They can even "have their black names", regardless of how you feel about it.

Its was fun to hate yall during football season but for me its over. College football was only sport i actually liked. We now know that the teams we rooted for actually despise the people that spent money and supported them.

I can understand how you feel, but don't fall for the media portrayal of these protests and especially the players. You are correct that there are some haters, but they are not the majority. They are a small minority and the media is giving them a larger platform than they deserve because it drives ratings. There are way fewer haters on both sides, but the media is always stretching things out of proportion.

In the SEC those players combined with MBB Programs generate $80MM to $160MM dollars depending on the school

Given the above stmt combined with the fact that folks like you don't want them getting any "serious" money above their full scholly, then yeah most folks generating that much money(the players) , having to deal with assholes in the fanbase wanting to keep their pockets full of lint, then hell yes, that makes REVENUE GENERATORS despise people that think like that

They don't just wake up and despise people for no reason, anywhere on the Planet, if revenue producers feel that their market value is artificially capped, then hell yes, there will be some resentment towards the assholes that favor the status quo

For you to not understand this makes you naive, or just a run of the mill idiot

Claim naivety, it'll work out better for you

The free education isn't enough of a trade off when you have abt 70 colleges grossing between 4 and 5 billion dollars combined, human nature dictates that the players will want their FAIR share
