Historically black college and university athletics have become more prevalent in recent years, largely in part due to NFL legend Deion Sanders and his work with Jackson State’s football team. On the golf side, Howard has shown over just two years what can be accomplished when resources and opportunities are paired with hard work.
According to a Black Golf Directory listing, 31 HBCUs have golf programs spanning NCAA Divisions I, II and NAIA. Eleven schools have both a men’s and women’s program, 19 are men only while Delaware State is the lone school to have just a women’s team.
