WSSU chancellor wants to play A&T, Central again

ADVANCE, North Carolina – Heading into his first summer as chancellor at Winston-Salem State, Elwood Robinson says he’ll look at a lot of different areas within the university, including athletics.

Robinson, a definite hands-on chancellor when it comes to athletics, has some ideas that he hopes will spring to life at some point. He has made it known that WSSU needs to play N.C. A&T in football again. He also hopes to strike a deal with UNC Charlotte to play an exhibition basketball game there.

“We have a vision for a lot of things, and one of those visions is for our football schedule,” Robinson said earlier this month while attending the Big House Gaines Golf Tournament at Oak Valley. “We also have a vision for what we are trying to do overall in athletics.”

Robinson has already had discussions with Harold Martin, the chancellor at N.C. A&T, about playing again. Robinson doesn’t have a timetable but a guess is it could happen in 2017.
