I believe the commissioner said back when Bethune came along that each school would have 2 permanent cross division rivals.
Alcorn State to the West...

We have not hosted a SWAC championship game in Red Stick in the last two years, but we sure can tell you how it feels {with pics} to play in one.

He sure did
That's why it really didn't matter if Alcorn, JSU or Valley moved to the West because each school would claim the other MS schools as their permanent rivals. The only reason most picked Alcorn was because of geography (Alcorn is closer to Grambling and Southern than Valley is to UAPB and Grambling (not by much though). Alcorn is 212 miles from UAPB compared to itta Bena being 250+ miles from Southern.

My bad....3 then
Great...I know FAMU/SU are pretty much a lock. And I’m certain BCU/Alcorn are also inevitable. The Jags pretty much have their cross division schedule set.
That leaves Texas or Grambling for the Rattlers (I know we aren’t getting locked in with UAPB).

I am not sure about Alcorn....My thoughts are Alcorn/JSU is an obvious lock. Then one has to consider MVSU is an Alcorn in-state rival as well.

On the serious tip, PV & AAMU are not far off......

Now, I want to see if the Jackson State - Alcorn game will move to an earlier date in the season?
This is true. I figured Alcorn would be one of BCU's opponents because it’s the closest SWAC West school to em.

Geography and travel were considered when aligning the divisions. Taking those factors under consideration the permanent cross division rivals may look something like this.
The Alabama schools with the Texas schools.
The Louisiana schools with the Florida schools.
The Mississippi schools with each other and UAPB.

A visit to Pine Bluff, AR every year is not that bad. Plenty of Black folks there.

With this in mind, I'm going out on a limb and predicting the following: For FAMU: GSU and SU. For BCU: Alcorn and GSU
Lol... I doubt that FAMU will be at the bottom of the conference fighting for fourth or fifth place. We will miss Alcorn though because we wanted to beat them before they went out the door.

in women's basketball you are incorrect... top 4 schools were Jackson, Texas So, Southern, AAMU... then Alcorn was 5th..... so you had two of the top 5..... and BCU may be bringing in the best women's team in the league.
