Why we keep bailing them out? Squeeze those wannabe PWC folks out as much as you can and force them to make a league move

Exactly. But people wanna say I'm mean for feeling indifferent about them, A&T and Hampton

People need to remember that Tennessee State is in a hostile state and thus certain decisions was made due to those complications when the HBCU conference they were in collapse. We just saw the state fire everyone on the board and put in the people that they wanted in charge. The DOJ just sent out a letter to all the states that have land grant HBCU about the money they owe these land grant HBCUs and base on the state governor reaction, in Alabama, this is going to get interesting quick.

I think Tennessee State is doing the best they can given their situation and have used the OVC-Big South Alliance increase travel cost in order to adjust their budgets so that they can schedule more HBCUs for out of conference games in football. TSU is bringing back baseball too and that is one of the moves that I figure the SWAC office likes.

At the end of the day Tennessee State is a state school and we all have seen what damage a state government can do to public HBCU (see the the West Virginia public HBCUs - they successfully plan and succeed in pushing out and reducing the black student body and faculty\staff. In the case of BSU they was rumor KKK and the white President collaboration to close the dorms, which did happen and the dorms demoloish. Note: BSU has a black president now, they are back in the CIAA, and they have built new dorms on campus).
