Nice locker room facility they have in place now. Take a jump to the link below to see a few pictures of what they have in place.
Actually found this link checking out SWAC Page where a fan of Southern Univ had the thread titled, " Is this the reason why PWC's in Div. I-AA out recruit HBCU's in Div. I-AA". Fact remains, as another Jag fan noted, the PWCs have an advantage because "most White players are still hesistant to attend a HBCU while most Black players will attend a PWC without any problem", which would make for another interesting thread in itself.
Point of the matter is, Northwestern St has new facilities and it seems McNeese is in the midst of a field project of their own (check out that nice video that made the rounds recently). The SLC, facility-wise is improving steadily...

NATCHITOCHES -- The monster TV at the back of the room is tuned to ESPN, while the two mounted on the walls in the far corners show different channels.
The carpet with the bright white logo in the center is brand new, as are the lustrous wood lockers and leather coach and chairs complete with cup holders.
Welcome to the new Northwestern State locker room. "We love it," said senior defensive tackle Tory Collins.
NSU spent close to $100,000 to redo its football locker room and weight room. And the results show.
The locker room had hardly been touched since the fieldhouse was built in 1979. The $60,000 cost for the facelift was raised through private donations, including a large donation from the family of former NSU assistant Chris Truax.
