“I have no knowledge of anything else going on,” Manns said by telephone Sunday night. “Bill Hayes is still the AD here.”
This news comes a little less than three months after football coach Conell Maynor departed for Hampton. The school has multiple CIAA championships in football, basketball and baseball. WSSU became the first HBCU to appear in the Division II national title game
This is Hayes’ second stint with the school which he helped turn into a football powerhouse in the 70s and 80s.
Update: The Winston-Salem Journal reports Tonia Walker is now acting AD at WSSU.
