Black Colleges Lead Renaissance in Non-Revenue Sports
Black Colleges Lead Renaissance in Non-Revenue Sports

Stet Sports Blog Stet Sports Blog posted 4/7/2008 from www.hbcusportsblog.com

These athletes, coaches and institutions all are playing a significant role in increasing the visibility of minority participation in sports outside of the mainstream. These programs are laying the groundwork for future interest and visibility of these sports to young athletes, who will have a chance to see that there's more to sports than football, basketball and track and field.

Does Division I Diminish the Black College Sports Product?
Does Division I Diminish the Black College Sports Product?

Stet Sports Blog Stet Sports Blog posted 6/17/2008 from www.hbcusportsblog.com

While the sports nation has embraced black college sports with cautious arms, are these institutions helped or harmed with so much attention being paid to what many consider an inferior product? Do black college athletic programs competing at the NCAA Division I level suffer as a result of their classification?

Is Savannah State University Athletics Hiring Too Many White Folks?

Stet Sports Blog Stet Sports Blog posted 5/21/2008 from www.hbcusportsblog.com

To criticize a university for hiring white men for jobs historically held by black men is wrong; just as wrong for those who would criticize and traditionally white institution for hiring black men to fill the same positions.

Michael Strahan: Last of A Dying Black College Football Breed

Stet Sports Blog Stet Sports Blog posted 6/10/2008 from www.hbcusportsblog.com

In today's big-money sports world, colleges pay scouts too much money to let someone of his profile be snatched up by an HBCU. HBCUs on the other hand, don't make enough money to compete with the alluring facilities and financial benefits presented by the power conference programs.

Frankie Allen Named Head Men's Basketball Coach at UMES
Frankie Allen Named Head Men's Basketball Coach at UMES

Stet Sports Blog Stet Sports Blog posted 4/11/2008 from www.hbcusportsblog.com

If you needed further proof that the men's program was in dire straits outside from having only one winning season in the last 27 years, during the 2006-07 season, the women's basketball program out-earned the men's program by $96,000. Tough road ahead for Allen and the Hawks, but no one has proven more capable of the job.

Black Colleges Should Not Be Ryan Perrilloux's New Pond

Stet Sports Blog Stet Sports Blog posted 5/9/2008 from www.hbcusportsblog.com

Ryan Perrilloux is a young man who has come of age in the limelight, and acted less than his age outside of it. If his mentality would not change with national attention and the world at his feet, there's no reason to expect different at Jackson State, Grambling University, or Alabama State; three of the colleges allegedly interested in suiting Perrilloux up in the future.

What can you offer up to counter the thoughts of this reporter, this editorial board, this university who looks at NCCU as a university whose moral fiber isn't thicker than the paper its diplomas are printed on? What do you say to a culture that thought they were smarter, better, and more privileged than you years prior to the Duke Lacrosse scandal?
