Future Out of Conference Schedules








Don't know how being apart of PWI conference means a HBCU is now a "white" HBCU is beyond me. Hampton, NC A&T State, and Tennessee State (who supporters fought over 10 years in federal court against the state of Tennessee and won) are still holding true their founding values and all have a majority black student student population and faculty\staff. What Tennessee State has done in a very hostile environment is great and have use the increase in travel costs to their advantage with the OVC and Big South Alliance. I can see in the near future that all of their out of conference games could be against HBCUs (except for one game against an FBS school).

As far as Grambling State playing Ohio State, it is a good move if they manage to hold their own and they can actually clear a profit from the trip.

Because you're not allowed to leave even if you know it's not the best option for your school. Otherwise, you're a "c**n." You could be the worst rated fcs conference for 100 years in a row and folks will still act as if they don't get why you left. Notice, none of the other FCS conferences have that stipulation. And it's typically selective, because no one seems to be annoyed by the fact that BCU and FAMU bailed on the MEAC too. But, it's not an issue because they joined the SWAC. People don't like that conversation though.

The band was just coming off of suspension that season.

Even more depressing, that was probably the second worst football team in FAMU history. That team was HORRIBLE….

I went to an OSU game a few years after that and the FAMU game was a running joke.
