Jarrett Hoffman of HBCU Sports offers what could be a game-changing solution that could address the perceived competitive disadvantage the MEAC conference representative has over the SWAC conference representative in the annual Celebration Bowl.

What do you think about Jarrett's suggestion to create a post-season classic featuring the MEAC champion vs. Tennessee State, North Carolina A&T, or Hampton?

@DCHawk1993 3 ай бұрын

Why not ? Something will have to be done eventually. Super conference or some type of CB tie in with A&T, Hampton, and Tnsu.

Horrible idea, he and the others know it too!!! But I understand, he's just trying to pose a controversial suggestion to bring more views, discussion, and attention to the platform. It's a strategy, I get it...but this can be easily dismiss, know need for consideration...we can move on.

Ummmm, there's an easier solution, if they're even interested in playing in the Celebration Bowl. Tenn St., Hampton and NCAT join the MEAC or SWAC and compete for the conference title. They win, they're in...pretty simple!

Kendrick is right. Keep the advantage vs the SWAC.

Let’s stop kicking the can down the road. Not to put words in the mouth of any team , but let’s look at why they left or never wanted to join the SWAC or MEAC. The MEAC missed the opportunity to build the conference so they could have their own conference championship game. If we have teams that want to be HBCUs from the outside let them stay there. Let’s focus on incentives to recruit and make the conference stronger so teams will come or come back. I’ve said this over and over. Let’s find a way to make a bowl series for HBCUs starting with the teams in the SWAC and MEAC.

Agreed... There needs to be a deep dive on how HBCU's can thrive in their own playoff system

So have a team(that can potentially not have a good record) just allow them one opportunity to potentially make the Celebration Bowl. I don't think that's fair.

HBCU'S should form a super BCS black conferences have tsu a&t Hampton and meac come into the swac then you have a swac east and swac celebration 🍾 bowl game

Nah. For what? PWC conferences don't all finish their seasons at the same time. Some conferences have championship games, others don't. That's life. It's really a terrible idea. Why should a conference champion risk having some players injured in a post-season classic with a Celebration Bowl coming up. Let A&T, Hampton and Tenn St. play each other at the end of their seasons and generate that revenue. Those schools chose not to participate in HBCU conferences. They need to go all in where they are now.

No. They chose to leave so there is no need to find ways to include those schools. If they wanted to be included they would’ve stayed.

@washingtonray4751 3 ай бұрын

These schools made the decision to leave. Just come back into MEAC. I PREFER LEAVE IT AS IT IS

@KenKnucklesKnuckDogg 3 ай бұрын

I don't agree. A&T and Hampton shouldn't have left the MEAC in the first place. TSU should be in the SWAC. Period. And we're just going to rule out the SWAC, period, if one of the 3 listed teams end up with a record better than the SWAC champ? This is not a good idea.

@jacobbarton9586 3 ай бұрын

No, a&t Hampton and tsu should leave those conferences they went to those PWI conferences

Isn't there a NCAA rule about post season games a FCS school can play that aren't in a exemption?

At-large bid play against the MEAC Champion

I like the idea & I have an even better idea 😀 Why don't the MEAC & SWAC take all of their Profits & put it into 1 HBCU to create a Super HBCU for the Real Estate & Facilities needed to get into the FBS that will help finance both Conferences! They can work together & pick a year to do this. All they have to do is put a name of the University that they choose in a bag & whichever the MEAC & SWAC School is picked is the choice to become the " Super HBCU 🤑 I'd say go with the Poorest & they can do this once every 5 years. This will instantly change EVERYTHING!

@johnnythornton624 They said tge same thing about Travis Hunter decommiting from FSU for Jackson State & yet it still happened 😀 Once the MEAC & SWAC learn to stop being their own worst enemy & put every penny made together for just 1 year every 5 years for an #HBCU School there will be nothing beyond what they'll be capable of doing. It simply all come down to get to getting over their Anger, Frustration, Jealousy, Envy & Hatred of 1 another & it's only up from there! The potential to make Billions are there for the taking.

That would build up the Celebration bowl like WWE . I love the idea

@at-roy9946 3 ай бұрын

Before playing an inconsequential game before the Celebration Bowl, I'd rather see the MEAC do a conference championship game the same day as the SWACk Championship.

Your concept is very short-sided. You seem not to grasp the travel habits and patterns of HBCU fans. Have you ever seen HBCU fans attend games played outside after December 1st? Teensee State and Hampton won't entertain playing S.C. State or NCCU during the regular season. So why would the MEAC Champion play an opponent that has not had a higher FCS rating than any of the MEAC CHAMPIONS over the past ten years? No promoter in the world would entertain this.
