Savannah State's admission may depend on WSSU.
If they don't get it together to qualify for D1 the MEAC may stay at 12.
If they do the MEAC will probably take SSU to get to 14.

Is WSSU struggling? may they move back down? I honestly think it would be in Savannah State's best interest to move back down too.

Yes, WSSU is hemorrhaging money. I believe they are currently three million in the hole. An announcement should be coming this month about their status.

Congrats to all of the NCCU family.

The announcers on the WSSU- FAMU game last night mentioned WSSU considering moving back down. Should be interesting to see whats happens.

Well, that didn't take long: WSSU trustees vote to stop move to Division I (http://www2.journalnow.com/content/2009/sep/11/wssu-trustees-vote-stop-move-division-i/sports/)

My guess is the timing of NCCU's admission wasn't coincidental.

Condolences to WSSU fans, by the way.

WSSU trustees vote to stop move to Division I

Winston-Salem State University has stopped its drive to Division I.
The decision to continue to compete in Division II and rejoin the CIAA was made Friday afternoon, by the school's board of trustees at a specially called meeting on campus.
Chancellor Donald Reaves, who has researched the move to Division I over the last 18 months, presented a detailed resolution that the board unanimously approved.
"This has been a difficult decision," Reaves told the board. "…but it's time to move on."
Since leaving the CIAA and starting the transition to Division I five years ago, WSSU's athletics department has lost more than $6 million. Reaves projected that the deficit would grow to $15 million by 2012.
Reaves said that the university's continued funding of the athletics program was taking away from academic endeavors.
