PRESENTS:
Dr. Cavils HBCU Major and Mid-Major Division Preseason Poll Rankings are based on a combination of a ranking algorithm and a voting system. It is
the original HBCU sports poll that separates the rankings (since 2002) of NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NAIA Division I member HBCU
institutions into two distinct categorical polls: Major and Mid-Major (This format is unlike the historic SBN Poll).

The Major Division Poll, consist of NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) [formerly I-AA] programs and the Mid-Major Division
Poll, which consist of both NCAA Division II and NAIA Division I programs. This format was introduced to the public based on the request of Black
College blogging fans and on the research that consists of data mining and the difference in scholarship limitation requirements beset by NCAA and
NAIA bylaws (i.e. maximum allotment: Division I FCS = 63, Division II = 36 and NAIA = 24).

THG Agency, LLC (The Heritage Group) is an applied data analysis, sports entertainment
consulting and management company specializing in statistical computation.
The poll is based on a combination of a ranking algorithm and a voting system. It is the original HBCU
sports poll that separates the rankings (since 2002) of NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NAIA
Division I member HBCU institutions into two distinct categorical polls: Major and Mid-Major (This
format is unlike the historic SBN Poll). The Major Division Poll, consist of NCAA Division I Football
Championship Subdivision (FCS) [formerly I-AA] programs and the Mid-Major Division Poll, which
consist of both NCAA Division II and NAIA Division I programs. This format was introduced to the
public based on the request of Black College blogging fans and on the research that consists of data
mining and the difference in scholarship limitation requirements beset by NCAA and NAIA bylaws (i.e.
maximum allotment: Division I FCS = 63, Division II = 36 and NAIA = 24).
J. Kenyatta Cavil, EdD, MBA, is an entrepreneur, HBCU sport business analyst,
and lectures at Texas Southern University in Houston, Texas as an Assistant
Professor and acting Coordinator of the Sport Studies & Leadership Program.

"INSIDE THE HBCU HUDDLE" is here for its fourth annual weekly release featuring multiple Major Division and Mid-Major

Powered by The Heritage Group (www.THG-Agency.com), an applied data analysis, sports entertainment consulting and

system.

The polls separate the rankings of NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II and NAIA Division I member HBCU institutions into
two distinct poll categories: Major and Mid-Major. Unlike the SBN Poll which groups all HBCUs together regardless of
competition level, the Major Division Poll consists of NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) [formerly
I-AA] programs and the Mid-Major Division Poll includes NCAA Division II and NAIA Division I programs.

"INSIDE THE HBCU HUDDLE" is a weekly HBCU Major Division and Mid-Major Division Reports by Demetrius Gatewood
