I'm glad this finally happened. There are PLENTY of opportunities for Prairie View A&M to establish home-and-home series with regional FCS universities especially with the addition of our new stadium in 2016. Couple that in with at least one FBS university per year and you're set! This is great news!

Houston Baptist University
Incarnate Word University
Sam Houston State University
Stephen F Austin University
McNeese St University
Abilene Christian University
Tarleton State University lol (shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddd.... PVAMU doesn't want this one lol. Trust. )

One low-level FBSer:
Rice (2016)
Baylor
TCU lol
SMU
Texas Tech (rebuilding - ? )
UofH

Oh boy.... Here we go. Alright Mr Robinson, time to earn that check yet again.
 
*ring!* *ring!* Langston University?
*ring!* *ring!* Texas College?
*ring!* *ring!* College of Faith?
*ring!* *ring!* Virginia-Lynchburg University?
*ring!* *ring!* Central Methodist College?
*ring!* *ring!* Concordia College?

lol Oh boy... Hmmmmmmmm..... SWAC ADs have to actually work.

Stop being messy..............LOL

Yep! That's why I said PLENTY of opportunities for home-and-homes now. Don't forget UT-SA, Texas A&M-Commerce, Texas A&M-Kingsville...

Hopefully we can resume a yearly matchup with FAMU and maybe play Northwestern State every season. That would fill 2 slots. I would love to keep at least 1 FBS team on the schedule. It's fun visiting new stadiums.
 
Hey War Party Room Folks....

We about to see what type of football team we really have. I want OOC HBCUs on the schedule.
 
BTW, SWAC Should add this rule as well:

Rule: The Two Previous SWAC Championship Game Representatives from the SWAC West and SWAC East must play each other in a conference game the following year.

Example: Alcorn vs. SU 2017 SCG
2018: Alcorn and SU must play each other.

SU vs. JSU 2018 SCG
2019: SU and JSU must play each other.

Again, this creates incentive.
 
Finally they got it right......Good Job!

JSU/Grambling
JSU/Southern
JSU/TN State
JSU vs MEAC, OVC, Ga State, Ga Southern, La FCS Opponent, Jax St, South Alabama, Troy St, or Money Game...

Thats pretty much where we will be going OOC...

Stop it.
 
Now let me say this about scheduling SWAC Opponents as Non-Conference Games:

There must be a system or agreement in place to ensure one team is not traveling to the same stadium 5 straight times, etc. Example: Say if SU and JSU play each as a NON-CONFERENCE Game in 2017. Say the game takes place in Baton Rouge. Now say in 2018, the SWAC has rolled SU and JSU as conference opponents BUT....the game is scheduled to be in Baton Rouge again. This cannot happen. Have to be fair to both schools. The 2018 game would have to place in Jackson.

Just say a rotating schedule similar to what the SEC does....
