Based on what fact is he making this claim?

"Howard’s presence in the MEAC has been a key one now more so than ever before. Multiple conferences (most notably the CAA) have reportedly reached out to Howard to see if it, too, would like to take the leap elsewhere. That interest likely won’t change between now and 2024."

i very passionately commend howard university for retaining their strong commitment to our community and hbcu's in general, especially the meac.  i wish my alma mater as well as hampton university had honored that very same commitment rather than give their support to pwc conferences that conversely supports the pwc community...

I'm a supporter of HBCU Gameday.They've provided a much needed resource and  vessel for HBCU sports  and the personalities behind it. That being said,was this article even necessary?

Howard athletics  is not at a "crossroads" being that he's leaving in twenty six months.

This was done because tomorrow Dr. Frederick is doing the "State of the University" address and wanted to get in front of the news cycle to not distract  initiatives and campaigns he may announce at that event.

Which is why I asked the question "based on what facts was he making this claim?" He has a habit of exaggeration and creating narratives that aren't there just for clicks. The recent article on TnSU is was the most recent example until this. Either he doesn't grasp the importance of delivering accurate information when it comes to hbcus or he simply doesn't care. I tend to believe it's the latter because it's done so frequently

It's definitely for clicks, that drives revenue from his site. I wouldn't call it journalism.

I don't think Howard University has a need to go conference hopping.

Dr. Frederick initiated significant investments in the University’s development and alumni relations infrastructure, leading to dramatic growth in financial contributions from alumni and philanthropic donors. Since 2018, the University has seen an 800 percent increase in fundraising resulting in over $350 million in philanthropic support. In addition, Dr. Frederick has overseen a doubling of our research grants and contracts funding portfolio, positioning the University to regain its status as a Research 1 institution.

*bookmarks thread*

Howard has never publicly denied having discussions with other conferences or made a proclamation like the Morgan State president gave me a month ago. Yes, there are two years before Dr. Fredrick leaves, and we all know how much things can change within that time frame. We shall see.

Dr. Frederick has always stated that he will bring athletics in line with its peer institutions.  But athletics would have to be a slower transition as there’s no way it would fly investing millions in athletics when student life and academic programming and infrastructure concerns loomed.

Its in the strategic plan that noone ever reads.

He has a core series of goals for the university before leaving.
