• Delaware State softball coach Jeff Savage and former Hornets student-athlete (current NCAA intern Jessica Chrabaszcz) spoke with the Double-A Zone about the school and the opportunities for coaches and student-athletes alike.

• The Coalition on Intercollegiate Athletics expressed concerns about the NCAA’s Academic Performance Program and its Academic Progress Rate.
