I don't even understand why they keep calling these scools "historically Black". Its starting to mean "Blacks used to go here"

Nah there isn't tons of non Blacks that go there. It's 95% black
. FSU is less black, if I recall around 79-80%...They've got one FBA sister and a Bajan sister this year.

That has nothing to do with anything. Hampton hired her, they or their alumni could easily pay attention and notice the shift. Either someone's asleep at the wheel and letting this coach run her own fiefdom, or someone's making business decisions to stay with the money as opposed to putting students they claim are their demogrphic first.
This is not a new HBCU dance in the slightest.
And I'd imagine that most Black families that are passionate/can invest in tennis lessons have their children in private school, on the Ivy League tract.
Its an exchange
I wasn't speaking on your theory. I just thought it was interesting that she is an HBCU grad.

I get you. That's not as unusual as you might think. She's Serbian. Undergrad is undergrad when you really boil things down. Lower tuition + scholarships = whoever has the grades and applies will have a shot.
Ask Morehouse people about Steve Schukei.

They're #2 in the standings this year...
I'm inclined to think the coach/school want to win more than they dislike black tennis players.
I'm sure there's like 99% white schools where all the blacks are on their sport teams.
