SWAC/MEAC/HBCU 2018 Offseason Thread

[3rd Coast Tiger]

Did you see the statement from Dr.Harvey saying that Hampton still wants in on the Celebration Bowl even as a member of the Big South? Hampton is about to become everybody's headache

If I was the MEAC Commissioner I'd tell Dr. Harvey sure you can participate in the Celebration Bowl..... as a member of the MEAC.

Glad the SWAC Championship Game is still an annual game!
