The HBCU sports world is shifting FAST, and the Gathering of Old Men Podcast is breaking it all down!
🏈 HBCU GO officially released its 2026 HBCU football broadcast schedule, and now everybody’s asking the same question: what happens to SWACTV? Is the SWAC’s investment in HBCU GO finally paying off, or are fans about to deal with even more confusion trying to watch games? We debate the future of HBCU sports media, streaming rights, exposure, recruiting impact, and whether HBCU GO is becoming the true national platform for Black college sports.
🏀 Could the NBA G-League to SWAC pipeline become REAL? With NIL, the transfer portal, and changing eligibility rules transforming college basketball, we discuss whether overlooked pro-development talent could start landing at HBCUs and changing the level of SWAC basketball forever.
🚨 The NCAA Tournament may be expanding to 76 teams, but will HBCUs actually benefit? Will more Black colleges finally receive at-large bids to March Madness, or is this simply another payoff for the Power Conferences and major TV money schools? We debate whether expansion creates opportunity or just more room for average SEC and Big Ten teams.
🥎 Plus, Florida A&M Rattlers softball and Southern Jaguars softball delivered an INSTANT CLASSIC in an 11-inning SWAC Softball Tournament marathon! We break down the matchup, tournament implications, championship contenders, and who has momentum heading into the biggest games of the season.
