Listen up maggots! And that's an order!
as in a super conference, or breakaway schools from the SWAC and MEAC along with some move-ups from D-2?
The Southland Conference has its eyes on four HBCUs to potentially become its newest members.

No more super than the SWAC MEAC already are but just a 3rd conference and yeah, consisting of more regional members, ie, Ala State, Ala A&M, Tennessee State, FAMU, Bethune-Cookman, SC State....maybe Albany State, Savannah State and/or one of the NC schools.....but, its a MOOT point. NOT HAPPENING.

That would be cool. The SIAC has been playing SWAC teams, maybe not every year but, we've had some interesting matchups Alcorn State v Morehouse, PVAM v Morehouse, Miles v Southern, Tuskegee vs Ala State, Ala A&M, Texas Southern, Fort Valley v Southern, Howard v Morehouse was actually a classic in DC for 4 years. I do see some of the CIAA schools playing Hampton this year and I think NCCU.

I personally would love for Langston to have an opportunity to return to whatever level our conference is on. They've played an important role in the african-american community in oklahoma and the midwest.No more super than the SWAC MEAC already are but just a 3rd conference and yeah, consisting of more regional members, ie, Ala State, Ala A&M, Tennessee State, FAMU, Bethune-Cookman, SC State....maybe Albany State, Savannah State and/or one of the NC schools.....but, its a MOOT point.

Black Wall Street at the collegiate football level. Certainly with it.
But too many of "them" black people have no desire for such. They are into sharecropping and help dwight increase his coffers and cement his future success.

Langston is too far and then they are NAIA. They would need an exception from the NCAA and them they are too far. The closest school to them is UAPB and that is over 350 miles

Langston has to increase enrollment, and invest in increasing its athletic budget and facilities to even remotely begin talks of moving up to Division I. Now if they did so and moves up to D-2 as a bridge ... that could be interesting for them in the long term.
Also, the sneaky SWAC rivalry I wanna see is FAMU-Alabama State. That has the makings of a good border rivalry. When you look at it on a straight miles standpoint, the schools are slightly closer to each other than FAMU and Bethune-Cookman are, and the drive time is similar.

Also with Alcorn to the west, that SU/Alcorn game is going to be off the chain. FAMU would like nothing better than to come into the SWAC and win it in their virst year. We can't let that happen!OH YEAH, THATS GONNA BE THE ONE RIGHT THERE!!!
