Terrance’s Take: Texas Southern expected to make basketball and athletic director hires, but who? | Terrance Harris

I am being told that Texas Southern students and alumni are on campus right now protesting the anticipated Board of Regents vote and subsequent hiring of basketball coach Corey Lowery and AD Ashley Robinson. I'm told they want Tony Wyllie for AD and for Shyrone Chatman.
