Major Keys From ESPNW Campus Conversations and Howard by Cecelia Townes | Beyond the Game LLC | GladiatHers

One of the most wonderful times of the year for me is Howard University Homecoming.  It’s a time to see old friends who’ve become family, take trips down memory lane and celebrate the legacy that is The Mecca. This year was particularly special because I was afforded the opportunity to talk to the women of Howard Athletics about the challenges and triumphs of life after college sports.

I don’t know about you, but I’ve been counting down the days since the 0:00 mark in Game 7 of the Finals. The feeling that I’m feeling right now is like a teen who hasn’t seen their crush since the last day of school — cue up Usher’s ‘You Got It Bad’.
