[...] MEAC, SWAC Champion T&#959 Play I&#1495 Legacy Bowl I&#1495 2011 | MKRob Sports [...]

where will the game be played? ATL seems like the best place to have this game.

This is garbage, why don't we ask the University of Florida why they didn't give up their BCS bowl berth. Only, SWAC idiots would willingly give up the spot b/c winning is too hard.

The only people who think this is a great idea are the SWAC, the MEAC teams that can't win sh*t, the Basketball only schools, and the other schools that can't wait to take our places.

FAMU supports the Division I playoffs. People forget that college athletics is for the prestige of the school. The SWAC should play in the Legacy Bowl just leave out the MEAC, let the SWAC play the Ivy League, they gave up on the playoffs too.

This is so stupid. The reason the SWAC has become such a regional conference is because they have chosen to abandon the NCAA Playoffs for some stupid confernce championship game in a conference that only has 10 teams. The MEAC needs to keep sending their league champions to the NCAA Playoffs and let the SWAC be the standoff(ish) idiots they are with their stupid Conference Championship game.

Why does everything have to be played in Atlanta ?

Whats the point in being apart of the NCAA D1 Football Championship Subdivision if you're not going to play for the championship? Might as well either upgrade to FBS or downgrade to D2!

There are rumors of the game at Jerryworld in Arlington.

I think this is a brilliant idea, I think they should create a black national championship, have all the HBCU confrences join the Black College Series, keep your Confrence title games, have all HBCU schedule 2 divison 1 school, then have a Black College Football National Title Game. Create a black college football niche. Why join the Division 2 of FCS or Division 1 FBS series.

I an an alumi of the University of Alabama, the 2009 national champions. And we have never played in a playoff. My father is an Alabama State Alumni, so I always followed the school because I have had my father, uncle and my aunt graduate from the school.

I think the HBCUs should create their own sub-division and then get TV money from ESPN to broadcast games nationally. You can lure kids in with the hopes of winning a SWAC title Ring, Bowl Ring and a Black National Title Ring.

Man you have no idea of the legacy and Heritage that is Black College Football. Please refrain from opinions without merrit. The issue is money and lots of it. If you win the 1AA national championship what do you get? Ask FAMU they won the first 2 under Rudy Hubbard. Who was last year's 1AA National Champion. If you have to look it up you just proved my point. The HBCU's are the money makers of 1AA and are constantly devalued. All of the divisions awards are named for HBCU legends. How many HBCU players have won the award latley?

The conferences are doing the right thing, go make the money and get the publicity. Let 1AA falter and become insignificant just like division II, Dvision III and the NAIA. Learn your history before you speak. The IVY League has it right. What prestige does winning a 1AA national Championship have. You go on the road as the HBCU team each year and play a playoff game in front of 10-15,000 fans or do you go and play in the Bayou Classic in front of 50,000-65,000 you do the math. What was the viewership of the 1AA National Championship game, again if you have to do the research then you have proven my point. What is the viewership of the nationally televised Bayou Classic on NBC. Again do the math, the Bayou Classic has more prestige than most FBS Bowl Games, a much bigger televison auidience for sure.

If this was such a good idea why did FAMU try to go to the FBS a few years ago? The HBCU's don't need 1AA prominence for prestiege. You are so right I wish that the major football schools would form two FBS conferences or 1 super HBCU conference and play a championship game then take on a mid major in a FBS bowl game to make money. Split the leagues up just like the Big East does. The football teams need to make money just like all other football programs need to for their University's. Let me know the next time a HBCU hosts a 1AA playoff game, let alone win one? Write something, I am wating. Lastly everything does not have to be in Atlanta, New Orleans, Houston, Dallas Los Angeles, Orlando or Miami will do. Places where people will go to see and be seen and where a large number of HBCU alumni are located. This is what makes the Bayou Classic and the Florida Classic work. Do the math. AR, Jaguar '86
