Alcorn State University, an HBCU located in Lorman, MS has had its women’s soccer season canceled and is facing accusations of possible Title IX violations.
The Clarion Ledger reports that the HBCU doesn’t have enough players to field a team.
“Our previous interim head coach left the university, and we had a short period of time to recruit additional players after the new soccer coach arrived,” Alcorn State interim vice president of marketing and communication Maxine Greenleaf said in an email to the Clarion Ledger.
Ken Kabiru was hired as the Alcorn State University Soccer coach on July 22.
Unfortunately, that’s not the worst of the news.
Key issues include inadequate facilities—such as showers with bats and snakes, and the absence of hot water—as well as unfulfilled promises of soccer equipment like cleats. The training room was reportedly understaffed and poorly equipped, with unqualified students performing medical treatments.
