Inside Historically Black Colleges And CAU Universities Come Together, Not Apart

Sports By Richard N. Hayes Contributing Writer Let me begin by stating Historically Black Colleges should never over emphasize athletics. However, SPORTS WEEKEND IN it is important that we recognize our collective accomplishments while looking ambitiously towards the future in black college athletics. Recently, eight of our institutions, (Howard, Florida A&M, North REVIEW Carolina A&T, South Carolina State, Tennessee State, Jackson State, Southern, and Grambling State), Black College football games played on Saturday, September 25. began preliminary discussions towards creating a Division I-A conference. This move will give increased credibility and exposure to Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Many brilliant and talented black student-athletes choose white schools, feeling that one can TEAM SCORE only go pro if they play in Division I-A. The media exposes this idea by failing to recognize Jerry Rice as an alum of Mississippi Valley State or Doug Williams as a Grambling State grad, or Charles Oakley as SAMFORD 27 a former Virginia Union star. Having a Black Division I-A conference will allow black colleges to keep BETHUNE-COOKMAN 10 some of our student-athletes “home.” THE GATEWAY CLASSIC We can also keep our athletes in our schools by celebrating our victories, together!
