In season three, Burke abandoned Cristina at the altar and then just took off, eventually winning a Harper Avery award elsewhere and then at some point, moving to Zurich, Switzerland to open his own hi-tech hospital. He got married, started a family, and then in season 10, he invited Cristina to his hospital to take it over for him as he retired.

Isaiah Washington left the series after it was reported that he called costar T.R. Knight a gay slur during an argument on set with Patrick Dempsey, and all his defenses just kept making it worse before he finally was let go from the series. Apparently he and ABC made up, because they let him return for a second in 2014.

As for what Washington has said of the incident? He later issued a public apology, adding in another statement, “I can also no longer deny to myself that there are issues I obviously need to examine within my own soul, and I’ve asked for help.”

In the years since his Grey’s Anatomy departure,he has starred as Thelonious Jaha on The CW’s The 100, until his character died in season five, followed by Starz’ critically acclaimed P-Valley.

Next month, Grambling State University and Jackson State University will bring the spirit of Historically Black Universities (HBCUs) to Allegiant Stadium for the inaugural Las Vegas HBCU Classic at the venue. The initiative, set to empower the legacies of HBCUs, is spearheaded by Sandra Douglass Morgan, the President of the Las Vegas Raiders.

As the first Black and Asian woman to serve as an NFL team president, Morgan is excited to continue the Raiders’ history of breaking the mold and setting new precedents.

Historically, in 1968, then owner Al Davis drafted Tennessee State quarterback Eldridge Dickey, the first Black quarterback selected in the first round by an NFL team. He also was the first NFL owner in the modern era to hire a black head coach with the appointment of Art Shell in 1989. Additionally, Davis was first NFL owner to hire a Latino head coach, Tom Flores in 1979, and to hire a female chief executive, Amy Trask in 1997. He also refused to have the Raiders play in any city where Black and white players had to stay in separate hotels.

“I mentioned it to our team owner, Mark Davis, [and] said, ‘Hey, there’s a potential for the HBCU Classic. But it would be in the middle of a football season, so we would have to make sure we were at an away game or something.’ And he didn’t even let me finish and said, ‘Get it done. Absolutely.’ I didn’t even have a chance to run through numbers, tickets, anything. He just said, ‘Get it done,’” explained the Las Vegas native during an insightful video chat with VIBE.

“I knew he had a history and the team has had a history and his father’s had a history with Eddie Robinson and Grambling. But for us it was just kind of a no-brainer to want to host this to kind of highlight not just Grambling, but HBCUs in general.”

She continued, “Having this history here and being able to use a world-class stadium that we’re very lucky to play in every week, like Allegiant Stadium, we know this game is about more than football. It’s about honoring the tradition of HBCUs, creating opportunities for visibility, reinforcing our commitment to non-traditional. I think people who have served in different roles at every level of the game. Whether it be a player, a coach, in business operations, in marketing, in finance, that is what I think this game… It represents so much more than a football game. It truly represents Black excellence at every level in the organization.”
