I don't think so.
It's a private school linked to a church.
It's a Presbyterian school.
It's located in my hometown. I honestly don't know a great deal of the history, but it was founded in the late 1800s along with a large number of colleges around the country dedicated to educating the black population.
They only brought back football about 15-20 years ago...I forget the date exactly. I've known a couple of guys to play over there.
I don't know why they don't just keep the big 3 around. They spent all that money on a football facility not too long ago so I don't see how it's going to help the school profile to drop it now.
Stillman is a small school...only about 2K students I think. They need to make more inroads into the community to raise funds. They've never been good at that.
