Winslow says FAMU athletics can’t be fixed

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Newly hired athletic director Kellen Winslow told a group of FAMU supporter that the university has an athletic department that is “broken.”

Speaking Wednesday afternoon at the 220 Quarterback Club’s weekly luncheon meeting, Winslow said the issues that plague FAMU athletics are too many for a quick fix.

“It’s broken,” Winslow said, to a suddenly hushed audience. “It can’t be fixed. Tear it down, start over build it the right way.

“We all know what happens to a house that doesn’t sit on a strong foundation. It doesn’t hold up to pressure. So let’s strip it down, restructure it in a way that it should be done so we can get the value of FAMU athletics that we’re supposed to.”
