The BIZARRE DRAMA Between ABC, Southern University, & The HBCUs

In 1996, ABC was set to air a SWAC game featuring two historically black colleges, as they were set to televise the battle in the BoomBox Classic between the Southern Jaguars and the Jackson State Tigers. What followed, thanks to a refusal by Southern to accommodate ABC, was an insane controversy that led ABC to back out of the TV deal entirely, resulting in one school completely and singlehandedly screwing over every HBCU in the country. This is the story behind the bizarre drama involving Southern University, ABC, the MEAC, the SWAC, and every HBCU under the sun BUY OFFICIALLY LICENSED NFL MERCHANDISE HERE: https://amzn.to/3B6hyE2 OFFICIAL JAGUARGATOR9 MERCHANDISE: https://jg9shop.com/ New listings every week!
