The best option: Going back to Division II
#8220;Moving Back to Division II will be a huge mistake.” Those were words my predecessor Steven Gaither used to describe our return to the CIAA in our Feb. 25, 2009 issue. I’m sorry Steven, but I don’t agree. Mr. Gaither, a 2009 WSSU graduate, is not the only person […]
