HBCU Tennis Programs Ranked by Funding
Tennis is not a revenue generating sport as a result you will find that budgets are usually very tight. This is true for the largest and top schools in the nation. HBCU’s will have even smaller budgets. I put this list together to help parents and potential students understand the limitations that exist as they begin their conversations with Coaches of these programs. The following universities and colleges are HBCU schools. The information source is Kaarme.com A college sports data site.
