That time Southern messed it up for the SWAC & MEAC

Wow..I’ve never heard of this until now. Very interesting! On one hand I agree with SU, and the network was just acting petty by canceling the whole deal. On the other hand, I feel like they messed up & got too big for their britches.
 
I remember this. ABC didn’t want to “deliver the bag,” or change the time of the broadcast and AD Casem told them to go to hell.

ABC could have just dropped Southern and aired other SWAC/MEAC games, but rather chose to cancel all HBCU games. SU was their scapegoat to give that airtime to some other universities or entities. In hindsight, if I were Casem, I would have moved the game time.
