Hampton (Va.) University has fired its assistant athletic director of compliance, Alexis Avery, after it was discovered that several of the school's student-athletes were not academically cleared to compete last month. 

“We have unbelievable student-athletes at Hampton University, including 182 student-athletes representing every team on the Dean’s List for the 2022-23 academic year, a cumulative student-athlete GPA of 3.24, including 24 student-athletes who earned a perfect 4.0," Hampton athletic director Anthony Henderson said in an email to The Virginia Pilot. "Most of the current eligibility issues we are facing relate to meeting progress toward degree requirements.”
