Tennessee State University explores adding hockey programs in what would be an HBCU first
CNN
Tennessee State University announced it is exploring adding men's and women's ice hockey teams, a development that would make TSU the first of the historically Black colleges and universities, or HBCUs, to do so.
TSU, in partnership with the National Hockey League, the Nashville Predators and College Hockey Inc., is conducting a feasibility study on how viable it would be to have hockey at the school. Results are expected late fall. "The idea of establishing a collegiate hockey program at TSU is a tremendous opportunity as the nation's first HBCU to take on this endeavor," President Glenda Glover said in a statement. "This allows us to expand the sport, increase diversity, and introduce a new fan base."More Related News
