My answer is always Hampton's the better HU.
- You know, choosing Hampton was my first real look at this whole HU versus HU thing.
- I tell you what, all of it's in fun, sometimes good, healthy fun.
Obviously, we support all HBCUs, but at the end of the day, you have Hampton.
They wanna refer to it as the university, I get it, I understand.
- Like, historically we started off as Hampton Institute.
I will be the first one to tell you that, but right now, we're a university.
- And we are Howard University by name, by trade.
Our brand is what it is, and I think it speaks volumes to the excellence that comes with being a part of being a student or being an alum, being any part of Howard.
- I always felt that Hampton was better from an academic and sports perspective, even though both are good schools.
(audience cheering) - I think I'm long past since comparing one institute.
I think that all of us, whether it be Grambling, whether it be North Carolina A&T, whether it be Hampton, whether it be Howard, we have a mission.
