We don&#8217;t have the technology that the Dukes and all these major universities have. An injury like this could have been prevented.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hercy was injured on November 9th in the Tigers&#8217; first game of the season against Alabama A&amp;M. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Four days after his injury, TSU&#8217;s medical staff cleared Hercy to play in games against Norfolk State and Fisk.<\/p><div id=\"first-738105787\" class=\"first-content first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream2 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Afterwards, the school sent Hercy to see a doctor who recommended the freshman take six months off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That effectively ended his season on November 30th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Master P wasn&#8217;t content so he consulted a specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The specialist said if we would have waited any longer he probably wouldn&#8217;t have been able to play basketball anymore because next his ACL was going to go out and all other kinds of injuries,&#8221; Master P said.<\/p><div id=\"first-4166630278\" class=\"first-content_2 first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream3 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s when he made the decision to pull his son from TSU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yet he didn&#8217;t blame the school. Instead, he blamed the lack of medical resources HBCU institutions have compared to bigger programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tennessee St. school disagreed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;The issue is not that we&#8217;re underfunded at all,&#8221; said TSU director of sports medicine Trevor Searcy. &#8220;It&#8217;s actually the opposite. The issue is that since (athletics director Mikki Allen) has been here we&#8217;ve been growing and when you grow your facilities have to grow as well and that&#8217;s what we&#8217;re in the process of doing now.&#8221;<\/p><div id=\"first-1902861875\" class=\"first-content_3 first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream4 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700414036595-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700414036595-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Searcy&#8217;s comments come after the Office of Legislative Budget Analysis&#8217;s report that said TSU had been underfunded by an estimated $544 million in land-grant funding over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regardless, TSU&#8217;s director stood by his staff and department, which has seven full-time medical employees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Master P would not budge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;How can we help HBCUs&nbsp;if we\u2019re going to sugar coat the truth?&nbsp;Then we are failing the next generation,&#8221; said Miller. &#8220;What do we need to fundraise for if staff members are saying we have everything we need?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So is this situation good or bad for HBCU athletics?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Overall, it shines an uncomfortable light on HBCU programs that have gained much-needed momentum in athletic competition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To address Master P&#8217;s claims, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennessean.com\/story\/sports\/2021\/12\/07\/master-p-hercy-miller-tennessee-state-basketball\/6418713001\/\">the Tennessean looked at other programs in the state<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">FBS programs Tennessee and Vanderbilt each have 37\u00a0staff members on staff. They range from directors and athletic trainers to rehabilitation specialists to interns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those are much bigger programs, so more appropriate comparisons are to schools like Austin Peay (Ohio Valley Conference) and Middle Tennessee State (FCS)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former has 7 full-time sports medicine staff members consisting of four athletics trainers, two interns and one graduate assistant.&nbsp;They also have a team doctor for all home games.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The latter has 11 sports medicine staff members, including six certified athletic trainers and five certified graduate assistants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TSU, as mentioned previously, has 7 full-time medical staff members. They also work with orthopedic surgeon Damon Petty, who is the Tennessee Titans&#8217; team physician.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While we don&#8217;t know about the facilities at TSU, it appears the size of the staff isn&#8217;t the issue. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Maybe it was the initial treatment or maybe Hercy did something to aggravate it later on. That&#8217;s unknown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But maybe Master P&#8217;s decision will help improve the treatment options and resources at HBCU institutions in general.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;That&#8217;s when I said I have to bring awareness to what&#8217;s going on at all these HBCUs&nbsp;\u2014 underfunding with&nbsp;no resources. I&#8217;m going to be with all the HBCU programs to bring awareness to this but I&#8217;m not going to sacrifice my son&#8217;s career and his future.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Hercy recovers, Master P said he&#8217;s open to returning if changes are made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;If they got the right funding and resources and doctors and nutrition like all the rest of the state-funded schools,&#8221; Master P&nbsp;said. &#8220;He loved the coaches, he loved the school, he loved Nashville, my family loved Nashville.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the recent wave of support for HBCU institutions continues, hopefully it will flow over to the medical treatment options to comfort more parents and students like the Millers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In July, Master P and his son, Hercy Miller, announced a $2 million NIL deal for Hercy, an incoming freshman basketball player for HBCU university, Tennessee State (TSU).
