BALTIMORE, Dec.13, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As much as college sport is a great equalizer of people via athletics, it has not been able to remedy the inequalities that have hamstrung HBCUs from capitalizing on revenue streams for universities in their association with NCAA sports. This has been caused, in part, by the NCAA's lack of interest in developing national black college sporting events.

Key Points: 
  • The Virginia Union Equality Health & Wellness Center highlights the impact of Coach Prime on viability of HBCU economics.
  • 'Prime Time' and his family became HBCU royalty and thoroughly immersed themselves in all the things that made black college sporting events great.
  • Coach Sanders' passion resonated with black folks socially, but it also appealed to supporters concerned about the financial wellness of HBCUs.
  • This past November the Equality Equation sponsored the second annual L. Douglas Wilder Equality Classic.
