MikeBigg,
Bruh, you way off with toy state. They aint about to schedule a home/away series with 1AA schools, especially HBCUs so far away from them. Not only will their "fans" not show up, but from what I hear, they will definitely try to low ball you. And with them expanding their stadium, I dont see them moving games to Montgomery either.

I thought Troy State was located in Montgomery. My bad on that one...

As for them coming to Grambling...that's the only way we would play them. I'm sure Jackson State and Southern feels the same way. They are the one's who need us for attendance numbers.
I was just looking to take advantage of their situation.

Never say never! In the words of former SU athletic director Marino Casem: "The only thing not negotiable is death".
 
Troy is in Troy, Al, bout 45 miles from Montgomery.

don't look for them to travel to those schools you mentioned. Before they schedule you all, it would only seem logical that they would schedule schools much closer, if they were choosing 1AA schools to boost their attendance. With FAMU soon to be 1A, surely they will have home and home with them.

There is a Troy in Montgomery. Also, a Troy in Dothan. One of their satelite campuses.
