well...you will definitely have an unbalanced schedule now.
As long as you know the conference belongs to us now. On the bright side, now you probably won’t have to lose to Alcorn in the Championship game anymore...you can get that out the way during the regular season LOL
I thought the same but my brother convinced me that morehouse is who the swac should really be after. getting that market would be huge. can u imagine what their home schedule would look like in atl?I believe both SC State and Bethune are unfounded rumors. Two schools with financial struggles, dwindling enrollments, and located in the eastern Time zone 6 hours from the nearest SWAC members make no sense. The only school that adds value to the conference is Tennessee State. I’d rather us have 11 teams like the Big Ten Back in the day and have unbalanced divisions instead of adding a school just to have a travel partner. I would say if the d2 prospects Albany State would be intriguing if they decided to move up.
Even though Morehouse is a great institution, it’s a small private liberal arts school and I don’t think Morehouse could fund a jump to Div. I. Also, Morehouse does not currently have the adequate sports facilities. Clark Atlanta maybe a better option if you are trying to tap into the Atlanta market, but I also think that’s a stretch.
If they are an all male school Title IX should not apply. That is just my guess.Plus Morehouse would have to be in compliance with Title XI. Which means they would have to add women sports to their athletic department and either have to start admitting women or merge with Spelman and recruit the ladies from there to play on the teams.

We all know a merger is never going to happen.Plus Morehouse would have to be in compliance with Title XI.

I don't disagree but how does an all male school comply if it has no female students? I don't know. I am just guessing.I thought all schools in Division I had to be Title IX compliant. Unless I’m mistaken.
Title IX just requires equal participation opportunities for women (actually just as close as you can get) based on the sex demographics of the campus. So Morehouse is in complianceI don't disagree but how does an all male school comply if it has no female students? I don't know. I am just guessing.
I am amazed that there are still all male and all female schools. Just saying.
When i pulled up mapquest it was a no brainer for FAMU to join the SWAC
In the MEAC FAMU had only 1 team that was in 200 mile range (BCU), 1 team in the 400 mile range (SCSU), 2 teams in the 600 mile range (NCAT, NCCU), 1 team in the 700 mile range (NSU), 2 teams in the 800 range (Howard UMES), and 3 schools in the 900 mile range (CSU, DSU, MSU). The average distance for FAMU is 727 miles or a 10.5 hour drive.
In the SWAC FAMU has only 1 team in the 200 mile range (ASU), 5 teams in the 400 mile range (AAMU, Alcorn, JSU, SU, MVSU), 1 team in the 500 mile range (GSU), 1 team in the 600 mile range (UAPB), and 2 teams in the 700 mile range (Prairie View, TXSU). The average distance for FAMU is 516 miles or a 7.5 hour drive. The SWAC has 9 out of 10 teams that are a shorter distance than the average team that FAMU traveled to in the MEAC.
