🔄 Let’s run this back ⤵️ 
🗣️November marks three years since we released The Bison Project, the three-part investigative podcast about @howard1867 University’s soccer’s rise, fall—and rise again.
 🗣️The podcast has made the listening rounds around the world—and that’s great. But the ultimate goal remains: redemption for Coach Lincoln Phillips and his 1971 @howardmsoccer Bison soccer team—and the return of their national championship🏆title, unjustly stripped by the @ncaa.
 🗣️If you’ve already listened—thank you. If you haven’t, pull up a chair. (And maybe grab a tissue.)
 🎧 Available wherever you listen to podcasts. 🎧 Link in bio.

🥂Ours was the first wedding at the @njpac in October of 1999. Jersey, baybay. But that’s not the flex. The flex is 1️⃣the longevity, 2️⃣the love, and 3️⃣the laughter and 4️⃣the tears that came after.

🥂27 years in and we’re just getting started.

🥂Happy Anniversary, Mr. Wright. 💍

📻Fifty-five years later, the question still stands: When history leaves a wound, do we ignore it — or do we have the courage to confront it and make it right?

📻It’s a question Rick Yallery-Arthur is still asking — looking directly into the camera, and directly at the @NCAA.

📻“All I can say is that times were different back then,” explains Yallery-Arthur, a member of @howard1867 University’s soccer team from 1968-1971. “If you make a decision now with the information you have in front of you now, and turns out 10 years later that was actually a bad decision, was it a bad decision? Now that you have more information, you could redress that—and it’s time to do it.”

📻After a long career in law — practicing in Washington, D.C., Maryland and the Caribbean, and handling everything from bankruptcy and civil rights to wills and trusts — Lincoln Phillips’ former defensive stalwart remains unafraid to ask the tough questions, challenge the record and demand answers.

📍There’s plenty more from Yallery-Arthur in The Bison Project podcast — including why, more than half a century later, he believes it’s not too late to make things right. #PodcastLinkInBio

📻Sometimes, what makes “the beautiful game” beautiful is chemistry — that innate connection between teammates that’s almost impossible to explain, but unmistakable when you see it.
 📻Defender Tony Martin and goalkeeper Amdemichael Selassie shared that connection. Along with Ian Bain, they are the only three players to have played on both of @howard1867 University’s national championship⚽️teams in 1971 and 1974. 
📻Selassie passed away in February of 2022 — just weeks before this interview with Martin, who described his former teammate as a cerebral shot-stopper known to dive only when necessary. 
📻“He knew me [and] I knew him,” Martin recalled. “[News of Selassie’s passing] saddened me. May his soul rest in peace. He’s really a good brother.”

📍As @NCAA soccer teams prepare for the 2026 season, Ian Bain reflects on a championship that was won—and later taken away—more than five decades ago. 
📍A star freshman on @howard1867 University’s 1971 national championship team, Bain shares how the NCAA’s decision to strip the Bison of their title continues to affect him and his teammates all these years later. 
📍In a conversation with sports journalist @wright_one, Bain arrives at the same conclusion that many others—including legendary soccer journalist Paul Gardner and the late @grant_wahl —have reached over the years: if there was a violation at all, the punishment simply didn’t fit the alleged offense. 
📍Bain is one of the featured voices in The Bison Project, the three-episode investigative podcast that tells the story of a championship won on the field—but erased from the record book.
