Might as well .. I'm here now (tongue in cheek). Seriously, Houston is a lot closer to more of the conference schools, our biggest championships are here and no one else has Houston as their hub. It would be nice to get out of the SEC shadow in B'Ham, but they would have to do a better job of getting the local media to report. It's a damn shame that TxSU and PVU get the coverage they do here.

If we win, we get coverage. Simple as that...Last year we had weakly articles from the Chronicle in basketball.

I say go with who ever makes the best offer. After all it's just the HQ. But I would really consider the move if Houston is really trying to help rocket the brand. Free rent is good but sometimes you have to pay a little to earn a little bit more same as they did with the football championship hosting site. Legion was rent free and now NRG is right at $150,000 and so much more I think after 35,000 fans. As long as they do right by burmingham by showing a great amount of thanks and appreciation because BHam city leaders did as much as they could for there size city. They supported the SWAC highly and you never know who you'll need again. But Houston should help market the brand even more. But again it's just the HQ. Hell the HQ could be in Australia honestly. Lol lol as long as the game hosting site is within the member institutions geographical locations. Lol

Yes, I'm satisfied with weekly from the Chronicle. We were getting post game stories and getting more press than Rice, and UH.
We also have various news stations at our football games, while we are terrible. Overall, its much better than 5 or 10 years ago when all the focus was on the negative. And with social media now-a-days, print media is damn near extinct.

Shreveport was in play until a last minute vote that kept BHAM a few years back.....BHAM will make a full court press though..
coverage for the SWAC was much better then....with more outlets its worse unless we shoot someone on campus

Historically (1920, session in Houston) the SWAC is just returning to its ROOTS. Full circle (360 degree) right on time for the 100-year anniversary 2020.
