The recently reinstated FAMU men’s golf and men’s tennis programs are preparing to compete in Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) competitions this spring.

“I am pleased to announce that the men’s golf and men’s tennis programs are reinstated to full compliance and competition for the 2014-15 school year,” said D’Wayne Robinson, FAMU interim director of athletics. “The decision to bring these programs back comes with approval of President Elmira Magnum and backed with the full support of the FAMU alumni. We look forward to competing in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference this spring and competing for a conference championship.”

The university’s Department of Athletics suspended both programs as part of a budget-cutting process during July 2014. Men’s Golf Head Coach Marvin Green led a successful $30,000 fundraising drive to obtain the money his team needed for the season. FAMU officials also sought additional contributions to make the reinstatement of the men’s tennis team possible.

“We are excited that Florida A&M will compete in both men’s golf and men’s tennis this year and look for both programs to continue its rich tradition of delivering competitive teams and providing a positive experience for their student-athletes,” said MEAC Commissioner Dennis E. Thomas.
