‘What more do we have to do?’ HBCU coaches are largely ignored | Liz Clarke

Heading into the 2022-23 season, Black coaches account for roughly 11 percent of head coaches in FBS (15 of 131) — a percentage that has stalled in recent decades while Black athletes account for roughly 50 percent of football rosters. https://t.co/ul8zgkYSJo via @lizclarketweet

Who is Leeiah Davis, the student-athlete that left Fisk University gymnastics team ahead of inaugural meet due to ‘bullying and hazing’? Why no public response from Fisk?

So far, no public response from Fisk University Administration on the allegations of 'bullying and hazing' within the gymnastics team.  We're patiently waiting ...  Meanwhile, the article below on Leeiah Davis reveals her goals and aspirations for signing with Fisk University Gymnastics prior to the alleged issues.
