The "unofficial" meeting place for intelligent discussions of Divisions I and II Sports of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC), Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) and HBCU Athletic Conference (HBCUAC).
America's #1 blog source for minority sports articles and videos. The MEAC, SWAC, CIAA, SIAC and HBCUAC colleges are building America's leaders, scholars and athletes.
Months after a program-defining moment, Grambling golf is on the chopping block. Continuing efforts to balance a teetering budget could, in fact, result in GSU dropping as many as four sports — men's and women's golf, as well as the school's tennis teams. But Coach Tegtira Thomas and the men's golf squad, coming off their best showing ever, are perhaps the most notable possible cut: Jonathan Coleman shot low individual score at the Southwestern Athletic Conference tournament to earn the area's first-ever automatic bid to the NCAA Division I Men's Golf Championship.
