"A Different World" aired on NBC from the fall of 1987 through the summer of July 1993. The sitcom dealt with the life and times of students, alumni and faculty at the fictitious Hillman College in Virginia. It was the first, and only, show that's reflected the stories and experiences of students who attend historically black colleges and universities. "A Different World" had a huge impact on the rise of HBCU enrollment. It influenced kids to head down South to go to school. I was one, heading from Michigan to Atlanta. Fast forward to last Wednesday. Kenny Carter tied his bowtie and prepared for the biggest day of his professional career. After 20-plus years of being an assistant at Football Bowl Subdivision programs like LSU, Florida, Penn State and Louisville, Carter signed on to be head coach at Delaware State University.
