I would of thought that they would support athletics better before even thinking about making that move, as from my understanding Benedict College is the only SIAC school that supports football with the full amount of scholarships. It make season to join the MEAC if the move up because of the smaller number of schools that have to split the conference payout with.Good interview and he made a bunch of really good well thought out points. I agree with him that Hue Jackson wouldn't be a good hire. What stood out to me the most is that Morehouse is considering joining the MEAC.
What does that mean?Sooooooo ....
Morehouse can get a Title IX waiver from the NCAA? McClelland said that was an obstacle for them
Morehouse is headed in that direction. I feel like it can be done, they got the money. Morehouse is in the middle of a $250 million campaign and some of that money will go towards upgrading athletics. Morehouse like so many other HBCUs are really trying to level upEven if they do join, they still won't put the amount of money in athletics that it would take to actually be successful. Hell their last coach complained about the lack of resources and support and that's on the D2 level. They will never commit to athletics being a priority.
Spelman has raised more than any HBCU and they still dropped athletics altogether. I'll believe it when I see it.Morehouse is headed in that direction. I feel like it can be done, they got the money.

A couple of years ago (after FAMU and Bethune came in) McClelland was asked about expansion and Morehouse's name came up. McClelland said that Morehouse's status as an all-male college would mean they would need a Title IX waiver from the NCAA in order to move up to Division IWhat does that mean?
That money aint going to nothing but scholarships….. Morehouse dont care about NOTHING else. Valley got better facilities than Morehouse does… their campus looks horrible for their prestige.Morehouse is headed in that direction. I feel like it can be done, they got the money.

wow, Morehouse had two home games last year.
Spelman is about the same. Those freshman girl dorms still don't even have A/C.That money aint going to nothing but scholarships….. Morehouse dont care about NOTHING else. Valley got better facilities than Morehouse does… their campus looks horrible for their prestige.
I thought about that first issue when read line about Morehouse and MEAC. I was thinking, since when did Morehouse have women teams or women for that matter.A couple of years ago (after FAMU and Bethune came in) McClelland was asked about expansion and Morehouse's name came up.

@TvSportsGuy21 can you correct me on this if my memory is incorrect?
It would've worked better if Spelman had intercollegiate sports, although McClelland's explanation would impact them too.I thought about that first issue when read line about Morehouse and MEAC. I was thinking, since when did Morehouse have women teams or women for that matter.

[off topic] So whose fault is that?Spelman is about the same. Those freshman girl dorms still don't even have A/C.
I dont think Spelman even has a reason to add sports at this point.The schools. They make more than enough money to be able to improve that campus...ESPECIALLY Spelman. A degree from there costs 200K and they constantly get big donations, the one they just got for 100 mil being the latest. You're not gonna tell me you can't put air conditioning in the dorms. Now as far as Morehouse athetics, the fact that they spend so little and have never really shown any interest in really being competitive is part of what I question about the move to begin with.
They would need to spend a huge amount of money to get their facilities right. Like for example, having to add another side to their stadium. Or renovating their gym. Then adding scholarships, sports, coaches, programs (they have no strength and conditioning program nor a recruiting budget) and having to convince alums that don't care anything about sports to give money. For me, knowing that they put all of their resources into their academics, I just see it as something that will always be on the back burner. Those presidents sole jobs are to keep that money rolling in and to keep the school's prestige up. They'd probably be like the HBCU version of one of the small Ivy League teams.
would add another old SIAC rival game like Miles Tuskegee Clark-Atl etc...would feel like the old days prior to 1998Atlanta having a MEAC school would be great. Morehouse could play A&M and Bama St and sell out for OOC games. A&M and Morehouse used to sell out in Football and Basketball in our SIAC years
