How can this be considered an HBCU "World" Series when neither team has won it's conference? And whose going to pay 20 dollars for that?

The title is misleading lol.. I like the idea of the game though.

Because those two teams were ranked the highest at the end of the regular season, and were 1 and 2 in RPI and the Black College Poll. And both teams won their division.

I like the match-up but not too particular about the title. When I think of a "world series," IMHO there should be multiple teams. Since our champions go to the NCAA, we could never have a true HBCU World Series because the best two teams would always be left out.

EAST GREENSBORO – Built on the legacy of greats such as Al Holland, Lou Brock, Andre Dawson and Tom Alston, the North Carolina A&T Aggies will take on the Southern Jaguars in the inaugural Historically Black College and University World Series to be played at Guaranteed Rate Field, home of Major League Baseball’s Chicago White Sox.

A dumb idea to begin with. Just another version of putting the cart before the horse.

So why have this event when there's also the MLB thing at the start of the season? Could the conferences talk to MLB about expanding the Urban Invitational/Andre Dawson Classic to include some MEAC teams as well? It's funny that they'd name the event after a FAMU alum but not have his school participating.

I guess we're the MEAC Tourney Champions too. Who needs an "HBCU World Series." LOL

After reading the article on the Baton Rouge Advocate, I can see why Roman Banks and the athletic department decided against playing in this.
The promoters made a lot of promises and didn’t have their stuff together for travel. Plus they didn't have a backup plan for inclement weather. I made some screen shots from the article.

Hell no . Plus both are finished, I think. We want to maintain a high level of play. I think the FAMU thing may happen.
