Middle School athletic programs have an on-staff certified athletic trainer.....

This was just a colossal dereliction of duty, not only for the AD, but also for the school admin (the Alcorn SGA has approved a vote of 'no confidence' in Alcorn president Felecia Nave over this). They had a full-time trainer who quit some time ago but Alcorn showed no urgency at all to fill a position that is required by NCAA bylaws.

Should have been gone
