There are 4 or 5 HBCUs in the state of Louisiana alone, schools who
we have tried contacting for our tournaments. In my experience, CBI
has been very reluctant to release the names of the team coaches at
the schools who participate in the HCASC. Also, many of these teams
are not actually part of a single quiz bowl club or student
organization at their respective schools, so as far as travel
expenses go, they usually rely solely on their own money or funds
from their school administration or SGA. For the most part, HBCUs are
at a disadvantage in relation to these matters.
