Damn Tiger! Just think, we turned up our little noses  at Benedict College, and drug then through the streets of Columbia  when they asked to come in the conference.   Then we turn right around and  jump right into bed with a wolf dressed like a sheep.   Oh well, look for the positive. That TV appearance thingy is a non-issue. I don't even know why they included it. They should have hit y'all where it really hurts and said no chicken plates after the game.

Cap:

I have to laugh to keep from crying.  After getting more info, Lincoln Athletics were aware of these issues and was the reason they removed the former track, and men's basketball coaches.  Most of the penalties were self imposed except former track coach and AD Jones cannot go any other NCAA institutions, and we vacated two championship trophies, and four runner up trophies.

We get to keep selling chicken & fish dinners to pay for the fine.  

On a serious note, I think our AD D. Ford-Kee is bringing in the right type of coaches and staff to Lincoln.  Our new T&T/XC coach from Grand Valley State University is the right guy.  Now we have to do the right thing in hiring the right men's basketball coach.  I'm sure tha the fact that we're in the CIAA, there is no shortage of applications for the position.

Oh btw, we were Lions dressed in sheep's clothing.  Please don't ever ever confuse us with some wolves.    That other HBCU in Pennsylvania are the wolves.

Ok back up....this is not good. If the school has a self imposed no TV ban. Then Lincoln may as well not show up for the CIAA tournament. This is the same thing that almost happened to the SIAC and Lane a few years ago. It will be interesting to see if this ban gets suddenly lifted before basketball season.

   You hit the nail on the head with "self imposed".
