The SWAC Championships delivered BIG moments and even BIGGER conversations across HBCU sports and politics! On this episode of the Gathering of Old Men Podcast, we break down how Florida A&M University captured the Women’s SWAC Championship and what it means for the future of the program. Meanwhile, Jackson State University dominated the Men’s SWAC Track & Field Championship with another statement performance on the national stage.
We also discuss the incredible performance by Tashina Alase, who delivered the FASTEST women’s 100m hurdles time in the entire NCAA outdoor season during the SWAC Championships. Is SWAC track becoming one of the most underrated brands in college athletics?
Then we shift into the growing political battle around college sports as HBCU conferences reportedly send a letter to Congress asking lawmakers to support the SCORE Act. What does this legislation mean for HBCUs, NIL, conference power, and the future of college athletics?
And finally… Luther Campbell jumped headfirst into the SEC boycott debate involving redistricting and political pressure in the South — but conveniently left Florida out of the conversation. Why? Is Florida getting a pass while Tennessee, Alabama, and Louisiana take the heat?
We’re talking HBCU sports, politics, track dominance, conference power, and the culture surrounding it all on this episode of the Gathering of Old Men Podcast.
