  Mickey Clayton, the pioneering FAMU coach who made history as the only NCAA Division I leader to win championships in both men’s and women’s basketball at the same institution, died Monday evening at age 70. His passing marks the loss of a towering figure in HBCU athletics, remembered for transforming FAMU’s programs and inspiring generations of student-athletes.

It is with heavy hearts that the Bethune-Cookman Department of Athletics announces the passing of Bethune-Cookman Athletics Hall of Fame member Calvin Jackson, who passed away this week.
       Jackson, born December 23, 1953, was inducted into the B-CU Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2016. He lettered in two sports for the Wildcats from 1970-73, competing in both football and track & field. In 1972, Jackson swept the discus and shot put titles at the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) Track and Field Championships.
