Yep that would have been the way to go. Once the whites owned BET if became white washed. Messed up cause TVone did do the CIAA tournament one year but never did it again.

BET used to show hbcu games on primetime.
i believe the ratings were low.
Is aspire on DirecTV?
there's other stuff I would do to help that out though. it could definitely be done

I really don't understand why they bring this back at least on a small level. 1-2 games a month. If marketed, pitched correctly it couldn't fail. Schools are ok with this BS matchups they show on ESPNU on Thursday's, which make our schools look terrible. We gotta pitch our best product, a random Savannah St vs Morgan St basketball game in January won't draw like marquee matchups. Put an Aggie-Eagle classic on ESPNU or a CIAA Football Championship game. Those games fill stadiums to the brim

Is it just me or has Black College football fallen off recently? Maybe because I'm a FAMU fan. 
I remember back in the day HBCU's used to be good and challenge for 1-AA national championships. Eddie Robinson's Tigers and Billy Joe's Gulf Coast Offense.
Whose squad looking good this year?

Whose squad looking good this year?ehh. BET used to run the commercials hyping up their saturday night hbcu games. im sure the ratings were horrible.
lesbianest, how many of us were really watching those BET games like that? i guarantee most sports fans that view BET were watching the games on abc/espn/etc instead. and that just leaves the BET viewers that arent interested in watching football period.
only way i can see this pop off on any channel is if they have the game of the week on a tuesday or wednesday night when theres barely any other football on. that would also draw in some thirsty football fans who dont even watch those stations. if done right, they could draw ratings from rednecks as well. then, they can build from there. but putting these games on when theres a handful of bigger games on other stations is never gonna work..............unless top black recruits actually start attending black institiutions again. but thats just wishful thinking at this point.
they rarely even show games at 1 o'clock on saturdays, which is the best time to do it if you must show games on saturday.

Mann the Magic City Classic was a legit classic this year, ASU kicker missed the GW field goal and A&M won 37-36
