SWAC upholds fine, road games for Grambling

GRAMBLING, Louisiana  -- The Southwestern Athletic Conference on Thursday upheld the league’s decision to reprimand Grambling State stemming from an October forfeit against Jackson State.

Grambling will be required to pay a $50,000 fine, along with road trips to Jackson, Miss., in both 2014 and 2016 to help offset JSU’s lost revenue from the Oct. 19 game which Grambling’s players boycotted.

“The league is now looking forward to moving on to ensure this situation does not happen again,” SWAC commissioner Duer Sharp said in a statement.
