Indeed, with Pro Football Hall of Famer Deion Sanders as head coach, Jackson State University has been the catalyst for a renaissance of HBCU athletics, bringing millions of dollars to the university and the community and becoming the cornerstone of a new deal with the SWAC in Birmingham, Alabama.
That deal prompted Jackson State to
end its long-standing Southern Heritage Classic in Memphis, Tennessee, usually in mid-September, to play in three SWAC games in Birmingham over the next three years.
The opening in Memphis has prompted some talk of N.C. A&T playing in the game in Memphis. Hilton told The Undefeated that he has been contacted by the Southern Heritage Classic and plans to return the phone call.
Any such pairing would be for the 2023 Southern Heritage game, as Jackson State announced Monday that it would play in the classic for one last time in 2022.

Can that be duplicated with another school at the same magnitude as the current matchup? I guess thats up for debate. Will the promoters bring in other schools and just change up the opponents every year vs. TSU? Honestly, outside of the SWAC schools, I don't see many MEAC fans showing up for it. BUT, I could be wrong.
