Chris Stevens: HBCUs can reach NCAA glory through basketball

[@vernonblyden822]

HBCUs should change their model and get out from under the NCAA umbrella. They should reverse the model from Student/Athlete to Athlete/Student paying the athletes to compete for the talent and become a farm club for the Pros.

We don’t have enough money to pay the athletes and bring them in droves like that. Not too many schools will be able to pay the athletes like what was announced a couple days ago. Also, an HBCU will never follow an athlete/student model. Education will always be the focus. Now to the first half of your comment if you study CIAA history you will see that their model for HBCUs was to be under one umbrella. That idea is really smart right now. HBCUs do need to have a plan in place as the NCAA as we know it changes.
