HBCU Football New Head Coaches, NCAA Probation and Conference Changes


Welcome Home Coach Willie Simmons!!

WASHINGTON, D.C.  --  Selecting the right head football coach is as important as selecting the right academic and compliance services staff at HBCUs.  The NCAA is no joke when its comes to compliance matters, and the punishment that is issued by the Committee on Infractions panel.  

Keeping it real, Morgan State University, the latest to fall under the infractions committee is no better or worst than the 13 others currently under NCAA sanctions.  


Probation is more serious than being banned from postseason play with subpar APR scores.


On the positive side, no NAIA HBCU institution is currently under sanction or probation.


We have provided you with the latest listing and links below to each institution's NCAA Public Infractions Decision. Time to take action, alums.  Your financial donations does matter!
