Oh, we've been paying CLOSE attention to the mid-year recruits Mr Jenkins has signed (Green, McGhie, Woulard) AND who you all are going after as well (offered).
The SWAC E will be a battle... and the SWAC W will be a battle.
Do Our HBCUs Thoroughly Research Our Money Game FBS Opponents before Scheduling?

Your point is valid, BD, but make no mistake about it, it has become a strategy of ADs to make football schedules "attractive" in order to put buts in the seats.
For a team like ULL or La. Tech, playing SU in Lafayette or Ruston is attractive for their fans if they know the Jukes are going to perform at halftime. At least those schools will make it worth SU time to make the trip. But in the case of someone like Northwestern State, that matchup is likely going to be a home and home. And if past results are any indication, non-HBCU FCS teams don't bring fans to our stadiums like we do theirs. And because of that, and I know this may be a stretch, I think we should suggest that those schools pay us the difference of a particular benchmark (attendance wise) if we don't meet that number.
Just a thought.

That's exactly what Dr. Broussard did in the case of NWST. Hopefully the next AD ( whenever that's going happen) have enough sense too do the same.

The hate is real.......I see the Hornets and Panther's have crossed paths on the trail at least a couple times. Most mean that we both have good taste in quality athletes. I'm pretty sure the Hornets will win most of those battles though. LOL I always enjoy the trip to Houston. 2016 will be extra nice I think.Mums the word.

Really? I think someone told me once before that Broussard did that. If that is the case, it needs to be standard practice with particular games...especially those with FCS regional ties. Good for Broussard and SU.

Jenkins just got a commitment out of a 3 star QB out of Nashville. Several more have committed, but as most know that means nothing until you get their signature on Feb 3rd. We got caught in some shenanigans back in Dec with 2 highly rated JUCO recruits talking mad isht about Bama State and ended up signing with FAMU on signing day. Jenkins coup was getting six freshmen to sign in Dec. These highly regarded players came from Prep School or graduated early from their high school. They will have 2 semesters in the program and an advantage over the freshmen reporting in Aug.
