Aycock to make Livingstone game; JCSU coach OKd after school review

CHARLOTTE, North Carolina -- Johnson C. Smith football coach Steve Aycock will be on the sidelines at Saturday’s Commemorative Classic against Livingstone.

Aycock, who has coached the Golden Bulls to a 2-7 season, confirmed to The Post he was reinstated for the season finale at McGirt Field. Earlier in the week, he was scheduled for exclusion, but school officials reversed course on Thursday evening after an unspecified investigation.

"It wasn't a disciplinary action or a grade issue," Aycock said on Friday morning.

JCSU officials also declined comment on whether Aycock was sanctioned or the reason why. He led practices in preparation for the Livingstone game, a renewal of the oldest rivalry in black college football that dates to 1892. The Golden Bulls lead the series 47-30-3.
