We have to diversify in order to sustain our numbers. This is one the conjunctive reasons for joining the Big South, not to increase Black enrollment, but to increase White enrollment. Wrong, that is not accurate. It was to place student back in student athlete. Yiu know Latinos are included in that 30 percent non African American population too right? and the fastest growing demographic in America. America is more than black and white

America is more than black and white Your statement implies that is the only reason, and that's inaccurate. Surely you agree the The Big South is more palatable to that future diverse student population.

TSU has been in the OVC for how many years and only has an undergraduate white population of 8%, so joining a PWC conference does not equate to an increase in white students. WSSU is in the CIAA and has a white graduate school population of 36 percent. www.collegefactual.com/colleges/winston-salem-state-university/student-life/diversity/chart-graduate-students-racial-ethnic-diversity.html

What does WSSU graduate school enrollment have to do with the discussion? Except an attempt to conflate your viewpoint. Winston-Salem State University is 74.9% Black 12.6% White.
North Carolina A & T State University is 78.5% Black or African American, 6.09% White, 4.32% Two or More Races, 4.12% Hispanic or Latino, 1.15% Asian, 0.303% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0.0319% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders.
Tennessee State University is 72.1% Black or African American, 15.6% White, 2.14% Two or More Races, 1.7% Hispanic or Latino, 0.99% Asian, 0.161% American Indian or Alaska Native, and 0% Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islanders.
If you think the move to the Big South was solely an athletic move, that's you choice.

What does WSSU graduate school enrollment have to do with the discussion? I think the graduate school conversation is very important. A&T is trying to grow its graduate school with programs in Health Sciences and Social Sciences. WSSU has a mature Health Sciences program that attracts working adults. Both of you have good points. I think the collaborations with Big South schools will have to potential to attract graduate students to A&T from Big South undergrads. I also think A&T undergrads may consider Big South professional schools such as the Campbell Medical School. I also think we must continue to build stronger and stronger relationships with the Community Colleges in order to stay true to the mission of educating 1st generation and rural Black students in NC. Many of these kids fell behind in the 3rd and 4th grade through no fault of their own and have an even stronger desire to succeed. Our value add is the ability to wrap our arms around these students so that they reach their potential in a nurturing but firm space

... is probably 500 students. For the record: www.ncat.edu/news/2021/09/historic-fall-enrollment.phpFor the third consecutive year, graduate student enrollment likewise climbed, from 1,623 in 2020 to 1,726 – an increase of 6.35% and A&T’s largest graduate enrollment ever. That growth was driven by a 12.16% increase in new doctoral students. With new online master’s and Ph.D. programs ready to launch this year, further graduate student growth is imminent.

I questioned the reference to WSSU's Graduate numbers ("white graduate school population of 36%") as basis for supporting a position that white students are enrolling HBCU's at significant numbers, when the actual enrollment is around 4%. So, the 500 is in regards to WSSU.
