HORNETS' DREAM ON HOLD
Question. How does an institution jump from I-AA to I-A with no president, no athletic director, no facility, and no money? Answer. It doesn't. In 1999, Alabama State trustee Donald Watkins unveiled his plan to make ASU the first historically black university to move to the I-A level in football. The plan relied on $100 million in private funds and included a 40,000 facility and a Black College Sports Hall of Fame, among other features. The projected move helped ASU land former Tennessee State head coach L.C. Cole in December of 1999, though Cole has never been tendered a contract. Watkins resigned from the ASU board due to in-fighting over the plan, and told the Montgomery Advertiser this week that he may take the plan to another historically black institution. "If they don't want it, I'm not going to let all of this [work] go to waste," said Watkins. I'm no expert in these matters, Donald, but here's a tip: things might be easier if you hooked up with a school that had some leadership in place.

Now what is it about the state of Bama that makes people not want to have a contract or not to sign a contract? What does cole do get paid in food stamps?
