What do you think, CSers? Will the Northeast FCS seal for these HBCUs be broken at last?
SWAC teams will only play D-I and D-II starting in 2027

All the Ivy League needs to become relevant again is to diversify its OOC schedule.

The SWAC should be playing against FCS OPPONENTS what I really want to see is them regain their AQ STATUS and return to the FCS PLAYOFFS.bonarae wrote: ↑Sat Apr 18, 2026 4:20 pm https://hbcusports.com/2026/04/16/swac- ... opponents/

It just means they're eliminating NAIAs and Virginia Lynchburg from their schedule, right? That doesn't seem be a huge change.

And Lincoln (CA), which I believe still hasn't bothered to file for membership in EITHER NAIA or NCAA in ANY Division....Mvemjsunpx wrote: ↑Sun Apr 19, 2026 12:35 pm It just means they're eliminating NAIAs and Virginia Lynchburg from their schedule, right? That doesn't seem be a huge change.
SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.
