New Tuskegee AD takes over: Campbell envisions improving baseball, football facilities as priorities

TUSKEGEE, Alabama  —  Curtis Campbell has always held Tuskegee in the highest regards.

He watched and admired from afar for 10 years through various administrative roles at member schools of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. It didn’t matter if it was during his stints at Kentucky State or Stillman College, Campbell’s personal appreciation for Tuskegee never wavered.

“People may want to categorize that Tuskegee is a great HBCU, but Tuskegee is a great institution,” he said. “It’s one of the most prestigious institutions in the country, bar none. If you look at history, academics and athletics, it’s strong on all of those areas.

“I’ve been in the (SIAC) conference for 10 years, and I think Tuskegee is one of the premiere institutions in the country. To have an opportunity to work there and lead their athletic department is a great opportunity.”
