DURHAM, North Carolina — North Carolina Central University will fund the education of at least seven former women's basketball players whose scholarships were not renewed for the upcoming season.The school confirmed the decision Tuesday to WRAL News.
"North Carolina Central University remains committed to the academic success of all our students, including student-athletes who were part of the women’s basketball team during the 2017-2018 season but who will not be returning next year," Associate Vice Chancellor Ayana Hernandez said.
"The university has reallocated resources for the seven students who are not graduating in May to continue and complete their education at North Carolina Central University. NCCU will provide scholarships and other funding to support each academically qualified student as she matriculates through her respective undergraduate degree program."
Head women's basketball coach Trisha Stafford-Odom decided last month that 10 members of the team wouldn't have their scholarships renewed for the 2018-19 academic year.
