You still missing the whole point. The game should just be rolled off then. Y'all black people just don't get it. The game wasn't going to be played. The conference should have just made y'all wait until two years to play each other.
The difference genius is AAMU and Bama St game is never going to roll off the schedule.
Have the costs of the game ever been picked up by the city of BR or Jackson?
The problem is some schools will be permanent on each other schedules. The same way the SEC does it.
Give each school 3 to 5 million after expenses yearly, I'm sure they would be more than willing to listen, lol
So if this works out to be a good plan I can't wait to pull this topic back up.
The City of Jackson would have to offer free services to JSU. Now as it stands for home games, JSU has to pay staff to work the game, security, and most all expenses. Yes, they probably get money off all ticket sales, but you have to subtract expenses to calculate profit. Birmingham is paying all expenses!
Let's be honest here... I can't speak for BR, but the city of Jackson would have a mutiny on their hands if they said they were going to pick up the costs of a JSU football game. There are too many pertinent issues going on with the city right now. (ie...clean drinking water, hell just keeping adequate water pressure, garbage contract, streets, gun violence.... the list goes on). These issues all take precedence over fronting the money for football games. The "clear people" would probably get all the votes they needed from the black Jackson residents to take back over the mayor and city council positions just from the backlash of such a move...
Exactly, but if they did, they better be able to present a plan with sponsorships and revenue for the city to absorb the cost. It can be done, but it will take their city to make a concerted effort to develop partnerships and relationships to make it happen!

The city of Baton Rouge is probably a lot better off financially than is the city of Jackson, and is probably better off than the city of Birmingham. All three cities have experienced tremendous "white flight," and, by extension, "white economics" over the past few decades, but Jackson, it appears, has been hit the hardest. Like Jackson and Birmingham, gun violence is the big issue in BR. But the issues with water quality, street maintenence, and boarded-up buildings around the downtown area have not pronounced themselves in BR and B'ham like they have in the Mississippi capital.
My bad it's called hustling backwards because they can schedule each other in their non-conference game anyway. JSU was going to make more than that guaranteed 500K in a home game not to mention parking and concessions the whole bit. So now go play in that old outdated stadium and not to mention take that shine off JSU and SU in a full Mississippi Vet with TV exposure of kids seeing 60K in the stadium as well. We always talk about TV exposure then the SWAC decided to put them in a stadium of 71K that maybe half full or 3 quarters full with people traveling all the way from mostly Mississippi and Louisiana.
