UNDERFUNDED HBCU ATHLETICS:
We need to do better for them
I am a huge believer in (and supporter of) the important role of our HBCUs and their great athletic legacies.
One thing that that concerns me greatly is the overall underfunding of the institutions across the board, but an areas where it manifests itself very clearly is in sports.
Our two HBCU confs are dead last in D-I avg. sports funding, and that translates into keeping them dead last in on-field performance.
NC A&T (a @CAASports member) is a bit of an exception to this (and an important engineering research school), but still deserving of better funding across the board, along with the @MEACSports, @theswac, and other HBCU teams.
We need to do better in funding our HBCUs across the board... for sports, research, instruction, scholarships, and infrastructure. Most of them lack the endowment resources of other schools, and I think that we owe it to ourselves to find a way to support them better.
I can’t speak for everyone, Bethune Cookman definitely changed my life. I am a better person because of Mother Mary’s legacy. #Hailwildcats ❤️🙏🏾
