And so those three pillars are things that we live by every single day in order to give our student athletes the best opportunity to thrive in the sports that they love as being members of the NCAA and Division II.
- When you think about the CIAA, you think about Black excellence.
- Watching the CIAA and the importance of what that is to our country, to the culture, to the sport, and the fact that they choose Baltimore for its home and its long-term home, it means everything to me.
- CIAA means everything to not only historically Black colleges and universities, but to Black people across the United States.
- These historically Black colleges and universities, and when you mix that with Baltimore, one of America's Blackest cities that has a deep, deep history and culture of Blackness, right, when you think about Thurgood Marshall, Frederick Douglass, Elijah Cummings, Black Baltimoreans, when you mix that with the CIAA, you don't get anything better than the CIAA in Black Baltimore for Black History Month.
