HBCU hires conference rival assistant as coach
At Edward Waters, Britt helped the Tigers reach historic milestones. His recruiting strategy and player development approach played a key role in EWU posting its first NCAA Division II winning record. The team also earned its first victories over Sunshine State Conference opponents, and finished with an impressive 3.4 team GPA-further demonstrating his commitment to academic excellence within HBCU athletics.
'Coach Britt's reputation for building winning programs, while staying deeply committed to the academic and personal growth of his players, aligns perfectly with our vision at Fort Valley State,' said FVSU Director of Athletics Daphnie Johnson.
Before his time at EWU, Britt was the head coach at Western Kentucky High School from 2018 to 2023. He inherited a struggling 4-22 program and turned it into a regional contender. His team posted an 83-56 record during his tenure, broke the school's single-season win record, and earned a No. 2 state ranking in 2022.
His coaching résumé also includes a 58-4 run as head coach of a 14U AAU team and a successful stint as an assistant coach at Indiana University Southeast, where he helped lead the team to a conference championship and an NAIA national tournament berth.
Britt earned his bachelor's degree in sociology from Indiana University Southeast in 2015 and later completed a master's in teaching from the University of the Cumberlands.
His arrival adds another rising name to the ranks of HBCU basketball leadership, as Fort Valley State looks to build on its athletic tradition and make new noise in the SIAC.

Hands-On Leadership Rewriting the HBCU Athletics Playbook
For Tiffani-Dawn Sykes, returning to Virginia State University isn't just a new chapter - it's a full-circle moment that began as an HBCU student-athlete walking the same campus halls. "It's amazing to be home. It's really a full circle moment for me," she said at CIAA Media Day. As a freshman, Sykes saw something powerful: a Black woman leading athletics - Alfreeda Goff - showing her that this career was possible. "I knew I could work in college athletics because… Alfreeda Goff was a Black woman who was the athletics director there." Now, Sykes holds the same seat of power, building on the foundation laid by Goff and her predecessor, longtime AD Peggy Davis. "Being in her footsteps - and following Peggy Davis, my predecessor - is really special." The Trojans came heartbreakingly close to a CIAA title last season. There's no dancing around the goal this year - it's championship or bust. Sykes put two players on the spot at an alumni event ahead of CIAA Media Day. "I asked Donovan, 'What can Trojan fans look forward to?' He said, 'A championship, Bruno said [he's] most looking forward to the championship game." Their clarity fuels hers. "My expectations are their expectations - we're back in Durham to end our season in the championship game and then go on to the NCAA playoffs." The message is loud and clear: this program isn't just competing - it's coming to win. Sykes doesn't just lead Athletics at Virginia State University - she lives it. Whether taking photos with championship teams or pulling up to away games, she's everywhere her student-athletes are. "I can't be an armchair AD. I need to be involved," she said. For her, presence isn't performance - it's strategy. She knows being hands-on helps uncover gaps, support staff, and elevate the student-athlete experience. "There are things even a coach has blind spots on… Being present lets me say, 'Hey, we can do this differently.'" And that presence builds something just as important as strategy: trust. "Student-athletes and coaches earn trust when they see that you are around the program." Tiffani-Dawn Sykes isn't the only one fully invested. University President Dr. Makola Abdullah is equally immersed - and it's making a difference. "It's awesome to work for a leader like President Abdul - transformational, progressive, and sincerely interested in athletics," Sykes said. His support goes beyond suits and speeches. He asks coaches about their schemes, learns rosters, and shows up. "At one event, he came upstairs and did a chalk talk with some of our coaches. He wants to know, 'What kind of offense do you run? Is defense your thing?" He's all in, and not just for show. "Not just good-looking facilities - he wants the right people leading our young people… and he wants to see what it looks like on film." Trojan alumni have been discussing a move to Division I. Sykes respects the ambition, but she's focused on the program's current state. "There's not a hint from me on moving to Division I… though there is interest from our alumni." With 20 NCAA sports and a growing profile, Virginia State looks like a D1 school in many ways. But that's not the playbook - not yet. "People see our sports profile and think that's a step toward D1. But really, we want to win a national championship in Division II." And to do that, she knows what it takes: strategy, structure, and strong financial backing. "It's my job to bring in more resources and allocate them properly… I want us to have a nationally recognized athletics program. Once we do that, I'll entertain the conversation. But right now, I don't think we're ready." From her legacy-driven return to her sideline presence, Tiffani-Dawn Sykes is building something bigger than a season - she's building a model. If Virginia State lives up to its expectations - and if Sykes gets the buy-in she's working for - this could be the year Trojan athletics doesn't just win, it arrives.

Virginia Tech responds to accusations made by HBCU coach
Virginia Tech has responded to serious allegations from North Carolina Central head coach Trei Oliver. Oliver claims a Virginia Tech assistant coach was on the sideline of the Durham, NC HBCU last season in an attempt to recruit one of his players. In a statement released Saturday, Virginia Tech stated that it had no prior knowledge of the incident. 'This is the first time the issue has been brought to our attention, and no concern has previously been shared with us through any formal channel,' the statement read. 'Virginia Tech takes all NCAA rules seriously and is committed to conducting our program with integrity. We are reviewing the matter internally and will address any findings appropriately.' The comments came after Oliver spoke at a media event on Friday. When asked about the most outrageous moment of his coaching career, he pointed to an incident during the 2024 season. 'Virginia Tech was actually on my sideline recruiting our running back,' Oliver said. 'That was pretty bold. I couldn't believe it.' Oliver said the moment caused a stir during the game. Several of his assistant coaches tried to calm him down, suggesting the visitor was just there to watch. 'He's just down here visiting,' they told him. But Oliver wasn't buying it. 'I knew what it was,' he said. Star Running Back Transfers to UVA Oliver didn't name the player during the interview, but it appears that it was his star running back J'Mari Taylor. Taylor was a first-team all-conference performer and has since transferred to the University of Virginia. Taylor is expected to be part of the Cavaliers' running back rotation this fall. UVA is scheduled to play Virginia Tech on November 29. 'Thank God he went to UVA,' Oliver said. 'And UVA is going to beat the smoke out of them other folks.' Broader Implications Oliver's claim has sparked conversation around recruiting ethics and the treatment of HBCU programs in the modern college football landscape. The NCAA transfer portal has created new opportunities, but also new risks-especially for smaller programs trying to retain their top talent. As Virginia Tech begins its internal review, the coaching world is paying close attention. Oliver's story raises important questions about access, tampering, and respect across all levels of college football.

Atlanta Dream star Allisha Gray has an interesting HBCU connection
The post Atlanta Dream star Allisha Gray has an interesting HBCU connection appeared first on ClutchPoints. Atlanta Dream star Allisha Gray has enjoyed an incredible season, earning her a spot in last week's All-Star Game, a special moment she shared with her sister. Gray's sister Ashley was among several other members of Allisha's family to travel to Indianapolis to see her partake in the All-Star festivities. Via her father and sister, Gray shares a very deep HBCU connection. Ashley Gray is a basketball player at Alabama State University. She's entering her senior season with the Hornets, a team that she committed to in November 2021. Allisha was in attendance when Ashley made her commitment and posted about it on her Instagram page. 'Congrats to my Lil sis for signing with Alabama State today for basketball!! I'm so proud of you! Love you,' she said on her Instagram account. Ashley was a standout in high school. She earned several honors, including being named First-Team All-State and scoring 1,000 career points. Fittingly, she won the Allisha Gray MVP Award. She's been a contributor to the Lady Hornets team throughout her time with the team, logging nine starts last season. But Ashley isn't the only HBCU alumnus in the Gray family. Her dad, Allen Gray, is an alumnus of West Virginia State University. While at the institution, he ran track and played basketball while working toward his degree. In an interview with The Next Hoops, Gray spoke about how her family has been supportive of her WNBA journey. 'They're going to get on that road for every home game,' she said. 'That's been one of my favorite things about playing in Atlanta. Knowing I can also drive home to see them on off days is everything, especially the home-cooked meals.' Being able to play for your home state team and get the support from your family is certainly a blessing that has helped Gray become one of the best players in the league. She's currently averaging a career high 18.6 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 3.9 assists for a Dream team that added massive talent to it's roster and looks to enter themselves amongst the contenders in the WNBA.
