Scrolling through twitter, I saw this post from a discussion regarding Hampton and NCA&T no longer being members of HBCU conferences; I'm guessing maybe there is some discussion about Hampton returning to the MEAC. I don't believe the UTN-TSU merger had anything to do with this. So, from the alums here who were around the programs during that time, why did TSU select the OVC?

"Tennessee State has been in the OVC conference since 1988. But do you know the reason why because it a part of settlement in a court case when TSU absorbed UT Nashville" ---> this is one of those lies that will not go away.

I didn't think that was the reason, but since I did not know for sure I didn't respond.

If Harold Love and crew can find documents that said the state owed money to TSU since its inception, then they should be able to easily find a document saying that the state Made TSU join the OVC. I said this before on this site or maybe on the old one, just find the document.

TSU joining the OVC, had nothing to do with part of the "Settlement or Funding". Go back many years ago, TSU was Independent (1A and 1AA), going forward, one of the NCAA Rules, stated schools like TSU had to become part of a conference, in order to go to the playoffs, prior to joining the OVC - I recall TSU during the era of Big John, looked at the OVC and was denied. I am not sure about the SWAC or MEAC - but for years TSU was Independent 1A, then it was subdivided to 1A and 1AA, think it had something to do with student enrollment and a few other requirements.

We probably should have been hopping on that train with a men and women team.

Chicago St. slowly sliding in the door. If the OVC picked up another Midwest school, it would make sense for Chicago St. to come on in as a full member. As far as TSU adding soccer, I imagine that would be held up by the same thing that's holding up hockey and the new basketball facility. I don't what that is, but if you got outside people ready to put down some money and nothing is happening.......WTF?

I was told the Covington Basketball Facility is questionable. TSU as a university, need to stop depending on others. If Soccer, is added "Just Do It" I can see it taking the back seat. What happened to all the fanfare about Baseball -
