Coach Rick Comegy is in the last year of his contract, and the program is ineligible for the 2011 SWAC championship game because of failing scores on the NCAA's Academic Progress Rate.
If APR scores fall a fourth straight year at JSU, there could be worse penalties, including NCAA expulsion.
Asked about these problems, Fuller said she prefers to think of them as challenges.
She said she'll keep track of the rates and that there will be academic monitoring and help.
She will see what works and what doesn't in order to improve scores, she said. "It's a work in progress."
Fuller said she plans to start programs aimed at rewarding student-athletes who excel in the classroom, including a "Breakfast of Champions."
Turning to those in the room, she said if "students are not coming to classes, let us know."
Well, at least she has a plan. Jackson State has a female president and now a female Athletic Director.......I ain't mad!:clap: Hope the sisters do well at J-State!
