Well wouldn't it had made more business sense for GSU,Alcorn, SU and JSU AD's to press for a 8 game format? Blacks really can't manage a business might be true.
The SWAC Office Should Ban SWAC Teams from Scheduling Each Other OOC in the 7-Game Mandate.

I think it was reported that some wanted an 8 game format with a permanent rival from the other division but it wasn't viewed as fair to all schools.

The teams would still roll off..
Again, Im not as concerned with us playing each other. You need to hope your AD can find 4 games.. otherwise you gonna be playing YMCA University.

It's not.. and as far as JSU-SU-GSU-Alcorn go, you are talking about the top 4 teams in the SWAC looking at the last 3-4 SCGs.

Basically.....hell GSU folks love this. We get a chance to add two other teams that are not in the SWAC.

If a SWAC school schedules another SWAC school not on it's master schedule, the SWAC should fine both schools at least $50,000 each.
I agree or force those games not go toward wins.....some way some how the SWAC has to start enforcing this mess. I really can see certain schools only trying to play 7 games and trying to make 5 of them home games.

Why not group SU, GSU and JSU with the Tx Schools for football only?
So with a 8-game schedule, Alcorn can always play JSU and SU yearly and then rotate GSU, sTu and PV A&M.

The MEAC does 8 FWIW.

The HMIC!!
Why should they? If it's to school's A benefit to play school B, why would/should the SWAC office (or anybody else) be in the business of preventing that?
Yes but with a 8 game mandate, schools would only roll off once every 5 years.
Not if you're gonna still schedule conference teams as ooc games.

You all have 11 teams. That's the difference. The SWAC playing 8 would be like you all playing 9... #stupid
Because Alcorn and GSU are big rivals and would want to play each other annually.
The issue is how often would teams rotate back ON.

Exactly... The SWAC isn't some independent entity. It is a collective of like schools that make an overall decision in their own self interest not for fairness or based off a fan poll.

Just like I figured....This is about to be one big mess smh.
If we are going to go back to a 7-Game Mandate, strict parameters and rules should have already been established beforehand.

I agree. We all know there will be a certain school trying to play 7 games.

Hmm... This seems to be prickly situation. It seems you have Alcorn, Grambling, Jackson State and Southern in one camp where they will play yearly regardless if the games will be counted for Conf. champs or not and then you have every one else that won't have to play one another.
I bet this situation would be a better one if you all got FAMU and Tenn State in the conference. That way you can have 2 6-team divisions with FAMU and TSU in the East and have you four plus the Texas schools in the West.
Then everyone gets what they want while playing an 7 or 8 game schedule.

JSU always played 8.

Alcorn isn't a big rival for Grambling.... stop spreading that lie ! SU is the only school Grambling views as a rival!

Teams would be on for 4 years, off for 1 year, on for 4, off for 1 and so on & so on.
Missing 1 year is not gonna hurt any one particular school.

exactly, past tense! Grambling has a 25 game lead over Alcorn, and have beat them 2 straight years. We got excited after beating a ranked team in 2014 and winning their homecoming in 2015, besides that nobody gets excited about playing alcorn.
