TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Back in July, I spoke with Earl M. Hilton III, the athletic director at North Carolina A&T.He said there’s “no mystery” to fixing a school’s APR issues. Bring on more academic support staff, have a vision and stick by the process.
In 2012, the Aggies were stuck with a postseason ban, practice reductions and other penalties from Level Three NCAA sanctions. Those sanctions were handed down after years of APR issues and previous penalties.
Hilton was brought on in 2011 alongside head football coach Rod Broadway. Today, North Carolina A&T's football team is on top of the MEAC and is ranked No. 19 among all FCS schools. For good measure the group posted an APR of 934 for the 2013-2014 academic year.
The right people were hired, and A&T is doing just fine.
“Coach Wood is a good football coach,” Broadway said after A&T’s 28-10 victory over the Rattlers.
