HBCU Conferences Unite to Launch Groundbreaking Football Poll and All-American Teams—What It Means for the Future of College Sports
In addition to the weekly poll, awards for different individual superlatives—such as Freshman of the Year, Offensive Player of the Year, Defensive Player of the Year, and Coach of the Year—will be awarded alongside a list of Black College Football All-Americans. NCAA Division I and Division II teams will have separate polls and All-American teams.
In a statement, the HBCU conference commissioners spoke about the HBCU conferences teaming up for this endeavor.
“We’re extremely excited to partner on the formation and creation of the Black College Football Poll and the Black College Football All-American Team,” the statement read. “We view this strategic alliance as a game changer for our respective leagues and undoubtedly a significant step in the right direction towards unifying our collective conferences as it relates to preseason/postseason polls and awards while simultaneously recognizing the best Black College Football teams and student-athletes at the highest level.”
