Robinson comes to the conference office after a one-year stint as Director of Compliance at Mississippi Valley State University in Itta Bena, MS, where he was responsible for monitoring the academic process and eligibility for student-athletes in the Delta Devil athletic program. Prior to Mississippi
Valley, he was assistant compliance officer at Jackson State University and formerly an academic coordinator at Delaware State University. A native of Jackson, MS, Robinson received a bachelor’s degree in physical education with a minor in business administration in 2003 from Mississippi Valley
