Jackson State usually has the highest attendance for home games for all HBCUs with 30k+ and it will be cool to see them sell out their stadium. I already have plans to attend a game in the spring 2021 or fall 2021 (if there is a season) just because I BELIEVE. haha. I'm a big supporter of HBCUs in general (even though I didn't attend one) and I follow Grambling State, Jackson State, and Howard University for athletics the most.

You already know the Soul Bowl should be added to your list. Coach Prime/Jackson State vs Coach McNair/Alcorn State is going to be the most talked about game in the SWAC. I think this might be the last year Alcorn runs the conference. FAMU is going to come in strong and possibly take over.

Hope he does well. I was always a fan of Primetime.

I think he could have a boost to recruiting, but I still have a hard time believing he will pull in any 5 stars. Maybe he can get one or two 4 stars, but that still seems like a stretch. If you have NFL aspirations, like I'm sure most 4* and up guys have, then it doesn't make sense to go somewhere that scouts will question your competition level, especially if you want to be a high draft pick.

Yeah I remember hearing about the QB

7 game PAC-12 schedule starting in November...no room for cancellations before the championship. I assume an 8th game for everyone else the week of the championship like the Big 10 if they were actually doing that like I thought I read somewhere

Nevermind, I see the championship weekend is the 7th game. Basically a 6-game race to the conference championship with just one crossover game against the other division possible

Guessing they could have started a week earlier but Colorado can't practice for 2 weeks

Can't wait for our 0-7 season.

The return of Pac-12 football & basketball will, @_emcaron reports, secure most of $300M payout the Pac-12 was set to earn this year from long-term deals with ESPN & FOX. Also, interesting @LevAkabas chart below on Pac-12 schools' football money rankings. https://t.co/pz5i1DgteZ pic.twitter.com/KOzey5M6JC

Nice to see another Pac-12 fan in here. Glad the Pac will be back and hopefully one of our teams can get into the college football playoffs but it will be touch.

I knew once the Big 10 said they would play this fall that the Pac-12 would be nice.

Heh, Georgia State says they didn't need to cancel their game with Charlotte this weekend. All the tests were "not read correctly due to human error" whatever that means. I don't know how the tests work, but I would have thought a simple positive or negative is something we'd have achieved by now.
