It can still work though with some modifications: For the SWAC... * Eliminate the SCG... allow possibility of some team making the FCS playoffs * Issue a mandate to disallow scheduling of any D2 or lower division school (exemption to Bama State for TDC) * Encourage scheduling non-conf games for first two weeks of season * Negotiate with NCAA playoffs to delay start of playoff one week Grambling: * Season Opener vs BCS conference school * Home and Home with Ranked FCS program (two year deal involving various schools) * Negotiate to alternate the Delta4Literacy Classic between Little Rock and Shreveport * Designate the Home opener as the Eddie Robinson Legends Classic The SWAC’s image has taken a hit with this move… It can still work though with some modifications:

* Issue a mandate to disallow scheduling of any D2 or lower division school
(exemption to Bama State for TDC)
* Encourage scheduling non-conf games for first two weeks of season
* Negotiate with NCAA playoffs to delay start of playoff one week

Grambling:

* Season Opener vs BCS conference school
* Home and Home with Ranked FCS program (two year deal involving various schools)
* Negotiate to alternate the Delta4Literacy Classic between Little Rock and Shreveport
* Designate the Home opener as the Eddie Robinson Legends Classic

The SWAC can only be as good as its weakest team. While it may be easier for the Big three to get upper division games, the other schools may have problems. If we as fans fill our home games, we can help solve any budge problems. I believe it was a noble effort to try a seven game schedule. We must keep trying to improve. Maybe one day a seven game schedule will work for all of the schools. We are one. The SWAC can only be as good as its weakest team.
