Barton College


Oct 30, 2018, 9:32 AM

many of you probably never even heard of this school.. a tiny Div II college in Wilson NC

used to be Atlantic Christian College. changed to Barton in 1990 - many high schoolers at the time weren't interested in going to a 'christian' college. it's still associated with the Christian Church - Disciples of Christ, although it's a liberal arts college. produces a lot of teachers and nurses

the school is near and dear to me as i grew up in Wilson - moved there after living here in Tigertown. my dad taught there for almost 40 years. my mom and several of my relatives graduated from there

spent many hours of my youth on the basketball courts on the campus

hoops team had a brief moment of fame back in 2007, when one guy - Barney 'Ant' Atkinson- scored 10 points in the last 40 seconds to win the Div II championship.

interesting.. didn't know that.

wonder why such a small school would want a football program?

they will have to play in one of the HS stadiums

interesting reasoning..


Oct 30, 2018, 10:22 AM [ in reply to Heard they are about to start a football program.*** ]

the campus is 70/30 female to male...think they want to even up that ratio a bit:

"In alignment with the College’s BartonBold Strategic Plan, the addition of football will intentionally focus on campus vibrancy, institutional growth and vitality, and balance in the current gender ratio of 70/30 women to men."
