That's one of the games that got me in band. Back when BET used to air games all the timehttps://www.wjtv.com/sports/swac/jsu-no-longer-participating-in-southern-heritage-classic/
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Jackson State University announced Wednesday that their school will no longer participate in the Southern Heritage Classic football game.
JSU stated that their governing athletic conference, Southwestern Athletic Conference, has entered an agreement that conflicts with their agreement with the Southern Heritage Classic Agreement.
“SWAC Classic” games to be held in Birmingham
The University has been in agreement with the classic since 2019.
On Wednesday, JSU announced its termination of their participation in the game.
Starting in 1990, the Southern Heritage Classic is an annual HBCU football game between the JSU Tigers and the Tennessee State University Tigers.
TSU has not made a statement regarding JSU’s termination.
WJTV 12 News reached out to JSU about the decision. Per Director of Athletics Ashley Robinson, the university has no comment at this time. The JSU football schedule will be released on Monday, February 7.
@Theolodius_Black what the fukk
hopefully y’all can still do a home and home with them in the future or create a new classic. That new SWAC Classic in B-Ham is already causing issues smh
we got a great white hype at QB coming in

Damn, Hampton kept that info tucked in. Had no idea they were looking to move. Left us all alone in the Big South
Hopefully, A&T stays put or goes on back to the MEAC. I like to travel and see them Aggies for one road game. Don’t wanna have to travel to New York or Boston if they move to the CAA. Was already a chore getting up to Maryland when they were in the MEAC
It'd be a "demotion" for them to go from the Ohio Valley to either the MEAC or the SWAC. But I also don't know what they're pockets look like from home games in the OVC.with the loss of this game and the loss of the Atlanta Classic I really hope the alum put pressure on the school leadership to join a HBCU conference
Can any Howard brehs on here tell me why y’all basketball team always trash? Seems like it’s enough talent in the DMV for y’all to at least be competitive every year.
Nortfolk and North Carolina Central has had MEAC basketball in a headlock for the past decade plus
nikkas really lost to UAPB
2nd worst team in the league
