The Alcorn State football reign of terror in the SWAC East will soon be over.

The Mississippi school will soon be crossing over to the SWAC’s West Division, first reported by Samaria Terry. This move will take place starting in the fall of 2021 when Florida A&M and Bethune-Cookman join the conference.

The SWAC will officially expand from 10 teams to 12 teams starting July 1, 2021. Alcorn State will become the sixth team in the West, joining Prairie View A&M, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Texas Southern, Grambling State and Southern. The SWAC East will include FAMU and BCU as well as current members Mississippi Valley State, Jackson State, Alabama State and Alabama A&M.

Recent team strengths will make this an interesting race each year.

Kinda feel bad for Prairie View A&M, Arkansas-Pine Bluff, & Texas Southern. They have no chance now

And you know this factually how? xsmhx

PV has beaten GSU 2 consecutive years and lost to both SU and Alcorn St by a TD in very tightly contested games which were in doubt up to the last 1.23 minutes 4th quarter.

Ridiculous. You are welcome.

PV has won the West once since the SWAC split in 1999.

Grambling has been 10x

Southern 7x

And now you add Alcorn who has represnted the East 6x. Again odds aren't in your favor

PV won w/ a jr hs stadium and no athletic venues. PV is trending in the right direction, considering our improvements across the board.

Stats and records substantiate my position, considering recent turnover in the admin/coaching positions. PV will be a-okay.

PVAMU has had a winning conference record 8 of the past 10 years (plus .500 last season with one game cancelled by weather). The Panthers will continue to be competitive with the addition of Alcorn State to the division.
