Why we get stuck with Howard. lol I would have rather had South Carolina St. lol

I want to see Texas Southern and UAPB repping the SWAC in the challenge too.

The MEAC side is really lacking in teams since the Grand Exodus of members.

They really have frozen TxSU, UAPB and Valley out of the game.

its a regional game now and who has a strong Atlana presence - basically, it'll be everyone east of Southern and a MEAC school not named Delaware State & Morgan State

You know the reason why...

And Valley, UAPB and TxSU can continue to call them out

Jackson State, Alabama State and FAMU aren't the only schools in the SWAC

 

[the band fan]

valley and uapb has participated when it was in birmingham and orlando - only TSU has never set foot in the game
