This is hilarious @djjesusbeats. The defending HBCU National Champions SC State has company atop the conference standings. Who's gonna stop 5-star phenom Shaquille Johnson? 😂 #HillmanCollege

John T. Grant calls the MEAC-SWAC Challenge “one of the most valuable properties in college football.”
The 2026 matchup features Howard and Alabama A&M on Aug. 29 at 7:30 p.m. on ABC.

ESPN Events @JohnTGrantJr said the appeal of supporting HBCUs because it is the right thing to do still has value— but not enough by itself.
“The idea today of ‘invest in us because it’s the right thing to do’ has some value, but I think that’s a diminishing return.” 👇🏾

Last week @ESPNEvents announced a comprehensive deal with Toyota. I spoke with @JohnTGrantJr about how the deal came together and how HBCUs must navigate partnerships in the current climate.

Big news!
Howard University has been recognized by the American Council on Education and the Carnegie Foundation as one of the nation’s top "Opportunity Colleges and Universities – High Access and High Earnings."
Among opportunity colleges and universities with a Research One (R1) designation, the nation’s highest Carnegie Classification for research spending and doctorate production, Howard has the highest “access” ratio, based on “enrollment of Pell Grant recipients and students from underrepresented racial/ethnic groups compared to a similar population in their area.” Among historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), Howard graduates have the highest median earnings eight years after graduation.
This honor reflects the brilliance of our students, the dedication of our faculty and staff, and Howard’s lasting impact on society.
