You have to give N.C. A&T athletic director Dee Todd credit for her honesty during yesterday’s athletics subcomittee meeting discussing recruitment of “troubled players.”
Todd laid it on the line:
“My job is to do what’s best for North Carolina A&T, but that also encompasses trying to be competitive in our conference. I’m afraid that something like this, with the word ‘behavior’ being so subjective, that it really puts us at a disadvantage to even get me to the point where I have to make these decisions because no one is going to come.”
Considering the fact that, out of 116 Division 1-AA teams, A&T ranks 115th in run defense and 114th in scoring defense, it would be accurate to say the Aggies need all the help they can get.
But by the same token, A&T might as well take the high road considering it has nowhere to go but up.
