UNDER THE BANNER What's Going On In and Around Black College Sports
 MOVE OVER ROCKETTES: The Summer 2001 (Football) edition of
Black Voices Quarterly magazine hit the streets this
week with in-depth profiles of the 45 football-playing black
college teams including all-American and all-academic selectees.
North Carolina A&T running back Maurice
Hicks graces the cover and is featured in a
story ("Tailback U.") from Craig Greenlee about the recent
ball-carrying tradition at the school. Also featured is a piece
by Michael Hurd outlining Grambling's historic rise to
become the Notre Dame of black college football through the
efforts of three enterprising administrators, President
Ralph Waldo Emerson "Prez" Jones,
head football coach, Eddie Robinson,
and sports information director, Collie
Nicholson. Get the latest on the Southwestern Athletic Conference's
legal fight with ousted commissioner, Rudy
Washington, in a column by USA Today's Roscoe
Nance and the lowdown on the goings on in black college sports in the "Grapevine" section. "Beauty
and the Beat" gives you all the sights of the greatest
halftime shows in college football while Nance chronicles how
the halftime show dancers craze got started. All told, it's
168 pages to get you ready for an exciting 2001 season
which starts in two weeks. BVQ is available at some newsstands
or by calling their offices at 1-877-785-1350.
