SWAC Commissioner Charles McClelland puts 'full-court press' on ESPN to showcase more league games

The upcoming spring sports season has given historically Black college football a rare opportunity where it does not have to share the stage with major college

Major props to Commissioner McClelland. Seems like he is putting his foot down and demanding ESPN to showcase the SWAC on its main channel.

This is the best time to do it in this BLM climate

I said that when they pushed it back that it could be a blessing in disguise and it's shaping up to be just that. Deion coming to the SWAC only enhances that especially on April 17. No NFL. No CBB. No CFB. NBA playoff games will be sparse so all eyes will be on us

This is definitely the right time to press ESPN. I'm sure they will want all of the Jackson State/Deion Sanders games on the main channels.

Ill have faith in him when AAMU finally gets a home game in ANY sport on TV.. It has been almost a decade.... but every other school gets home televised games.

BLM is the main reason more 3-4 star football players are now choosing HBCUs to play football.

That sounds good but unless it's a situation where the P5 aint playing it aint happening on the main channel.

Why? You all don't even show up for your home games. Why do they want to show that empty stadium?

I don't want the conference to go into that ESPN+ zone as most of our fans don't subscribe to that platform and still won't be able to watch. I don't mind us getting on ESPN3 with our games but it has to be done right.
