🗣Parents & Student-Athletes, NIL deals & collectives can't buy self-respect. Don’t mortgage your child to coaches or schools that don’t value you beyond wins. Make choices that honor your family & community. #itsBIGGERthantheball

Game Day Schedule ‼️

We have to adjust the lens of the #HBCU as a low resource institution. She is rich in the greatest of resources… Human Capital. President to Groundskeeper. It’s our responsibility to provide an experience that elevates the consciousness and aptitude of every student.

Coaches, Why should parents entrust their child 2 U & that school other than a NIL💰? WHAT DO YOU STAND FOR? Do kids leave you built to INFLUENCE CHANGE in the 🌎? Is your program a SOCIAL JUSTICE entity? Is the brand more than wins, graphics, 👟&🎒? #itsBIGGERthantheball

“… student organizations can continue to receive university funding, but cannot use that money for “discussions or events that may involve ‘divisive concepts’ or for ‘diversity, equity and inclusion programs’ in accordance with the law.”” al.com/educationlab/2…

Met Coach Hayes @nccu in 2016 North Carolina Central University_MBB Tip Off Banquet when I was an assistant NC Central WBB Went to his table to introduce myself & share how honored I was to meet him & work in an athletic department he helped build. His response: “I hired all these ______!”😂 Thank you Coach🫡

Our schools > My school. #HBCU’s are a collective. It’s BIGGER than who wins on Saturday. Our ability to strategize, collaborate, & market our unique value proposition in this evolving college sports ecosystem will determine our future. Together… 🤝 #itsBIGGERthantheball

The new “Yolanda Laney – Basketball Way” pays tribute to her remarkable career as a player and coach, as well as her lasting impact on the sport, particularly for athletes from historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs). hbcugameday.com/2024/09/09/hbc…

I BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION. I AM A PRODUCT OF IT. I BELIEVE IN THE HISTORICALLY BLACK COLLEGE and UNIVERSITY. #HBCU #itsBIGGERthantheball HBCU Sports Summit

It’s disappointing to see #HBCUs treated as stepping stones by those who ignored them for decades. Proximity to majority spaces doesn’t make you a leader. Authentic leadership comes from a deep love for our people and genuine desire to uplift others. #itsBIGGERthantheball

"My life got so much better when I let people be who they are. When I stopped expecting them to show up the way that I wanted them to, or even needed them to.” thedaily.coach/p/sunday-think…

Authentic leadership is about service, not power. Invest in others, nurture their growth, and create space for your people to embrace their capacity to lead. The people you lead can’t grow, if you not. #itsBIGGERthantheball #Transformation>Transaction #Leadership #Growth
