TENNESSEE STATE ATHLETICS
Athletics
The Department of Athletics at Tennessee State University was established, and exists today, in order to provide an opportunity for student-athletes to participate in a broad-based program of intercollegiate athletics, which is inextricably linked to the academic mission of the university. The Department will operate in a manner consistent with the ideas and purposes of the university, NCAA and conference in its pursuit of educational excellence and in the mental, physical, and ethical development of the student-athlete.
The mission of the Department is to offer wide-ranging programs of both curricular and extra curricular activities, which will accommodate the needs, and the interests of the students. Student-athletes will be given the opportunity to participate in athletic and recreational programs while achieving academic success through rigorous degree-completion programs. All of the Department’s activities will reflect a commitment to the academic integrity and the fiscal integrity of the university, as well as the general welfare of student-athletes, both today and in his or her future.

The Aristocrats of Bands
In the fall of 1946, after six weeks of practice, a 100-piece marching band took to the field at Tennessee State University and a tradition of excellence was born.

The Sophisticated Ladies
A group of vivacious majorettes, now referred to as The Sophisticated Ladies, enhance the dynamic style and SOUNDS of “The Aristocrat of Bands”.
This impressive auxiliary group was forged under the legendary leadership of Judy F. Gentry, majorette coordinator for thirty plus years.
