The way this state hinders Alcorn and JSU now is paradoxical.
Alcorn has the peace and quiet for study and safety but is infrastructurally land locked. Interest is not an issue which is why for a public institution in MS Alcorn has an acceptance rate in the 30% range. Capacity is our issue because of lack of infrastructure on the campus and around it. We don't have anywhere to put anyone and renovations are required for what we do have.
JSU has capacity and infrastructure freedom but the state purposely makes the environment around it inhospitable i.e. the Jackson water situation, the poor roads, and the crime.
All of these things are done purposely in this state.
MVSU's situation is more complicated and very hard to deal with.

getting blitzed.
Kind of off topic, and adding a little humor to the thread, but I got a good laugh out of some of my friends from back home that went to Southern Miss, trying to lowkey say it was a HBCU 
As an HBCU grad, all I could do is laugh then tell ‘em nah lol.

I forgot big bruh did go to Southern Miss. Hopefully, he and his fam doing well.
Southern Miss and South Alabama is where the average kid from the coast went. If you had some money, Ole Miss it was. Most the brehs and brehettes on the coast went to JSU or Southern Miss. Honestly, if I stayed in the state, it would’ve been Alcorn due to their engineering, or Miss State.
I did not know Alcorn State was in Mississippi. I thought that shyt was in Arkansas for some reason.
Cause when I was living in Memphis seems like all the Arkansas nikkas loved Steve McNair. So I assumed Alcorn State was over there.
And Mississippi nikkas exclusively big up Jackson State. No mention of Alcorn State so I didn’t know it was down there too.

Lol, maybe you were thinking U. Arkansas Pine Bluff
McNair was loved all over the SWAC like that, north MS cats really rock more with Jackson State because of that game in Memphis. South West region is more Alcorn heavy.Cause when I was living in Memphis seems like all the Arkansas nikkas loved Steve McNair. So I assumed Alcorn State was over there.
