Deion Sanders and JSU moved up to ESPN2The combination of Deion Sanders and playing football in the spring is paying off for the SWAC as Jackson State vs. Mississippi Valley will be on ESPN 2 on Sunday. By Steven J. Gaither Posted on March 9, 2021 Deion Sanders and Jackson State are taking full advantage of spring football’s opportunity for TV spotlight. Jackson State’s home matchup against in-state rival Mississippi Valley State has been flexed to ESPN 2. The game was originally slated to be on ESPN 3, but now it is set to be shown on TV according to ESPN’s listings. SWAC Commissioner Dr. Charles McClelland said that his broadcast of the JSU-Grambling Game was disconnected a few times due to audience volume. He told Dr. Cavil’s Inside The HBCU Sports Lab that there was a chance one or more SWAC games could move up from streaming to television. “My understanding is that the game between Grambling and Jackson State was so heavily watched that ESPN is now considering moving up some of our games on linear television,” he said. “And that’s when you know you are making a significant impact.” hbcugameday.com

Watched Del State at SC State yesterday. It's clear that coach Pough is focused on fall ball.

Kennesaw and Charleston Southern was interesting. KSU won 24-19. The Owls (ranked #9) are essentially a wishbone team. Nothing fancy. They just line it up and run the bone. The forward pass be damned. Not spectacular but they can execute that offense and have pretty decent special teams play. A physical team that will gamble a bit on defense. Very sound squad but very beatable.

The Big South Conference has released a revised Spring 2021 football schedule to accommodate previous postponements due to COVID-19. The date changes affect four of the five schools competing in Big South Conference action this spring — Charleston Southern, Gardner-Webb, Monmouth, and Robert Morris. Kennesaw State is not affected by the revised schedule release. Three other Big South teams, Campbell, Hampton, and North Alabama, opted out of spring competition. With today’s changes, the Spring 2021 Big South football schedule will now conclude one week later on Saturday, April 17. The FCS Playoffs are set to begin on Saturday, April 24. For the rest of the story: bigsouthsports.com/news/2021/3/16/big-south-announces-revised-football-spring-schedule.aspx

I think what ESPN is about to find out, as they did with the Celebration Bowl, is that Some HBCU games and teams are bigger viewership draws than other FCS schools. I cant see more people tuning in to watch Kennesaw/GW than Grambling/Alabama A&M

I am not going to lie. Monmouth looked very good on both sides of the ball which was surprising since it was their 1st game of the spring. Monmouth outmatched Charleston Southern in every way and the Bucs were the team with games already played. Monmouth could be a challenge for us this upcoming fall. I also watched Alabama State at UAPB...up until the tornadoes shut it down.
