Either way, the point stands that it's not wise for the SWAC to do what you're suggesting. They'll still bring in over 20,000 this season in the Gump either way for the SCG.
Why is it not wise?
But it's wise for the CIAA to have these events surrounding their tournament?
Breh we can disagree, no problem, but If you don't surround this event with something that will attract the youth, this event will be stale especially by it now being moved out of Houston. This aint 1998 breh
Folks in my age range don't even come to events to see the games, they come to events like this for the stuff that's going on outside of the event. So if the SWAC can't see this then they will always behind the 8ball.
Nobody not trying to see KeKe Wyant and Avant or Alexander O'Neall perform either. If the SWAC don't link up with, NBA Youngboys, Lil Babys Meek Mills, Wayne, H.E.Rs., Travis Scotts, Migos, and the Ella Maes, Charlie Wilsons, Anita Bakers, The Times, then this is a waste of time for them to even have this mess.
Nobody is just coming to a game anymore, it's not 1998. Ppl wanna socialize at events like this, IG live, Snap Chat live, tweet, aint nobody IG living at a Keke Wyatt or Avant or Alexander O'neal concert lol, that's why the CIAA continues to stay strong and a place that everybody around the world want to go to. Because a Meek will show up, a Nikki will pull up or the Migos will perform, ppl wanna IG live for those events
Yea the CIAA may not have a hand in getting these artists but they have a hand in making sure events are being taken place and they know who will be at these events, best believe a kick-back from these events, they are getting. They aint just getting money at the games, as I stated, ppl don't even go to the games anymore, but the outside noise that happens around that weekend has ppl coming back to the CIAA every year.
Aint nobody coming back to the SWAC ship because the SWAC aint in everybody mouth or on ppl's mind like that because the stuff on the outside aint what's up. sh1t is dead and outdated
