I kinda feel get ready. It doesn't look right on tv with the crowd being small at those minor league baseball stadiums. The commish could've called Hattiesburg to see if there stadium could be used.

The minor league park in Biloxi would be more of a centralized location for the baseball tournament with the amenities that Biloxi has to offer relative to where the stadium is located in the city. That location IMO would make it more attractive for people to attend. I think its hard to judge the true size of the crowd at this years tournament because a lot of people were occupying the shaded areas of the stadium to stay out of the sun.

Yep Biloxi would attract more people but the stadium would be to large and expensive. New Orleans Wesley Barrow would be preferable.
 
The SWAC may be headquartered in Alabama but Louisiana and Mississippi are definitely the heart of SWAC country. If the events are not in those two states, they need to be in Houston which is home to the largest SWAC alumni base I think ... Houston or Atlanta are the biggest ... real close.

Adding BCU and FAMU was a great move and I don't understand your critique about Alcorn going to the West ... I think all these things are great shake ups for the conference
 
If centrality were the essence of location, then all SWAC activities would be held in Louisiana or Mississippi. But centrality won't work here because we should not give the financial benefit of hosting an activity to just the most centralized locations. I think the Conference should spread out the acticvities so that all swac-connected communities can have the opportunity to benefit from their SWAC affiliation. Just like Biloxi should be considered, so should New Orleans, Little Rock, Birmingham, Montgomery, Shreveport, and now Jacksonville, Orlando and the like.

Definitely agree that Louisiana and Mississippi are the heart of SWAC country.

Texas is N-O-T. Period, w/ these apathetic colored folk.
 
We have to support it reguardless of where its at to continue building the brand. I drove from Texas to attend the softball tournament in Gulfport. I'm grateful that the baseball tournament is available live for viewing. Madison is too far of a drive for just a weekend trip for me. The live broadcasting is a step in the right direction. The swac needs to come keep coming up with ways to continue to create excitement with these tournaments. Maybe they should play the 2 brackets at different sites, and play the championship game in a best of 3 at a 3rd location. Based on the SWAC baseball schedule, they have 2 weeks to make it happen since they start the conference tournament, 2 weeks before the brackets are announced for the NCAA tournament.
 
Don’t take the tournament away from the folks that’s been supporting all season. Leave the tournament in Louisiana/Mississippi, both are centrally located. Both are short drives for the majority of the schools and the casual fans will come out also. Folks really supported the tournament in New Orleans, but the best tournament were in Baton Rouge.

Ummm GR, the PV season folded when the mighty JSU opted out of our game

PV hid behind Covid after your season was obviously over. Dont worry, grambling did the same thing. But since our leadership is so weak and we didnt have a plan schools like yours were able to hide behind Covid

  1. The commish is doing a outstanding job. Why wasn’t the stadium ready in Jackson

There is so much wrong with this statement...both sentences. There's nothing wrong with the stadium in Jackson. The game was moved because SWAC schools was bitching and moaning because yall didnt want the SCG and SWAC trny in Jackson. That weak ass commissioner had to assure the SWAC schools that JSU would benefit financially from the SCG cause God forbid if someone black makes money off black folks.

Outstanding job? Says who?

He brought FAMU and BCU in the SWAC, that's a dumbass move. The MEAC couldn't wait to get rid of BCU

He moved alcorn to the west. That ruins the effectiveness of the BC and the SoulBowl

Had no Covid protocols allowing schools like alcorn to opt out AFTER they committed to play.

I could go on and on. But let's just focus on this standing room only crowd in Bugtussle Alabama for the SWAC trnyScreenshot_20210522-155126_YouTube.jpg

The SWAC was doing this before the pandemic hit. Valley hosted the volleyball tourney for 2 years amd there was talk about possibly hosting soccer as well. This gives an incentive for institutions to invest in their facilities

Football is unique and I like the best overall record hosting the SCG. I wish they would do it in basketball to reward the regular season champ but I think we might be heading down the path of the SCG and basketball tourney heading back to Birmingham once they are done upgrading their facilities
