A repeat of its 2005 national championship run was not in the cards for the FAMU Honda Campus All-Star Challenge Team, as Morehouse College cruised past North Carolina Central University in the final game to win the 17th Annual Honda Campus All-Star Challenge this weekend.
In addition to the sense of personal satisfaction the Morehouse team gained from winning, they also received a $50,000 grant for their school. The runner-up, North Carolina Central University, took home a $25,000 grant. The remaining 62 teams earned grants ranging from $3,000 to $15,000.
North Carolina Central University tops FAMU in National Achievement Scholar recruitment, enrollment growth, and now the Brain Bowl competition.
ReplyDeleteNCCU, under Dr. James Ammons, has become everything that FAMU used to be. Ammons is getting the best black students. NCCU is expected to reach well over 9,000 next year. He's got the university on track to become America's new, largest single campus HBCU in just a few more years.
Is anyone else tired of watching FAMU move backwards? Where is the accountability for the destruction Dr. Castell Bryant inflicted upon our recruitment program?
Congrats to Morehouse!
ReplyDeleteIt seems the effect of a lack of a recruitment program is beginning to show up in many places, such as a no win here.
Did Castell attend this event over the weekend? The couple of days that I happened to be in the Orlando area, did not provide me with a Castell sighting.
Although, I did see former President Humphries cheering on the team.
It was just like old times.
