I believe the goal is to have at least 2 dedicated academic advisors just for the football program.

I don’t think anyone is complaining. I know we had kids suspended for academics. What did we do to support these young men? I heard we have one academic advisor for athletics. I was wondering if this is correct? Going to class is on the guys and not the coaches. Not true (Staff of 4) Thank you!!!! All these assumptions are killing me!

Thank you!!!! All these assumptions are killing me! I hear one ladies name all the time for the student athletes. After talking to some parents this weekend it seems like there is not a lot of support for the kids that are struggling. I am only saying what I am hearing.

Seems like a pretty easy thing to look up. He are the academic folks currently listed on the website. ncataggies.com/staff-directoryNow of course, I have no idea what their various roles are and what sports they serve.

If you have 4 advisers you should have 4 grad /student monitors for classroom, study halls and tutoring sessions. To make sure that these athletes are attending. It's useless to have just advisers without having the structure in place to monitor the athletes presence and participation . Also yes to a degree it is the athletes responsibility to attend his or her classes, but it is also the responsibility of the Head Coach and his Staff to make sure that they are on time and present in the classroom, study halls or tutoring sessions. When parents deliver their child to a coach's charge. That coach becomes the father and mother of that child as long as they are attending the institution..i.e making sure that the athlete is doing the work in the classroom to complete his or her degree.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume we either have or are putting all that into place.
Not everybody that can catch a pass is college material in the first place. Some parents won't admit that and will make every excuse under the sun and place blame on everybody for their baby's inability to grasp college-level material.

I disagree...parents cant even make their kids complete school work. If a kid cant do the basics they shouldn't be in college. Its not a coaches responsibility to make sure a student goes to class, I would just not renew their scholarships. The other 13K students can attend class without someone being there to babysit.

Some parents won't admit that and will make every excuse under the sun and place blame on everybody for their baby's inability to grasp college-level material. That is why all of the things I mention should be structured in our program . A lot of times it's not that the individual can not handle college level material, it's more so the major that they pick that is the cause of their academic problems . NCSU has an amazing system that they implemented ( aptitude testing)to evaluate and recommend academic curriculum and placements/majors to there athletes before they declare majors . And yes you see a lot of criminal justice, Social Service, kinesiology, Recreation and sports management majors. But these student athletes remain eligible and graduate with majors that are transferable into the job market or even grad school. So it's not so much that they can't do the academic work because if they couldn't they would not have been admitted to A&T in the first place. And yes athletes do or may get admitted at times that are a tad below the academic standards most of the student population. But if they pick the right major they will not struggle at least not as much.

Then the question you should ask yourself is how did they get into A&T in the first place ? Also how did they get past the Clearing House or even get a reasonable score on the SATs or Acts. Also I don't know what parents you're talking about (That are real parents) ! Because as my father RIP would say " you're going to do your class work or you're going to get your a$$ worked with this belt, until you leave this house " ! Now what parents are you referring to ?

When I my brothers and sisters were recruited the first thing that most of the coaches said was I will make sure your child gets an education and treat him as if they were one of my own. The head coach's job is a lot more than just X's and O's . You can call it "Baby Sitting " or what ever. But for 9 months out of the year the HC is the Mother and Father to those young men and women and that includes making sure that they are where they are supposed to be and doing what they are supposed to be doing..i.e going to class, study halls and tutoring. So that they can stay eligible . That is what good programs do. What about that is so hard for you to believe or understand 🤔 .

What is hard for you to understand that if the coach has to do that the players shouldn't be in college. The kid is better of learning a trade.

This aint the 70s. If a kid does not want to go to class, their coach will find somebody in the transfer portal who does.

As most of us remember at A&T, we had instructors and professors who would reach out to us, especially when we were not coming to class. I'm hoping that our HBCU faculty haven't lost that touch because it is what made A&T special to me, academically. Without them, I wouldn't have a college degree....

Me neither.
Of course it’s a new day. I wouldn’t have a snowball’s chance in hell of even being admitted nowadays.

What areas do we need to improve on to help prepare us for next season? Here is my Christmas list. Transfer QB to add depth (maybe even a starter) Offensive Line to add depth Defensive Line to add depth and experience LB’s to add depth and maybe even a starter (loss Stuckey) DB’s (faster and stronger) added depth (injuries hurt us) Depending who leaves (transfer portal). QB coach Special Teams coach Grad assistants Extra Strength and Conditioning support Better communication from the Admin and Chancellor. Community involvement (fan support just like the GW game) Academic Support (more help for the student athletes) Nutritionist Have the questions been answered with this group?
