According to a report by ESPN, Monta Ellis is set to become the basketball general manager of Alcorn State University. He joins John Wall and Kendrick Perkins as former NBA players working in athletic administration at HBCUs, with Wall becoming Howard's basketball general manager and Perkins becoming Jackson State's basketball general manager. I have the ability to make that happen being a GM of Alcorn State. The program benefits from other folks who may want to support Alcorn State University Athletics because Monta Ellis has said, ‘Hey, I'm here supporting Alcorn State University as a person and with my brand.'” Alcorn State had a rough 2025-26 season, finishing 9-23 with a 7-11 record in conference.
