Amidst dwindling budgets, shrinking attendance, crumbling facilities and talk of school closure and consolidation, the future of the Southwestern Athletic Conference has rarely been more uncertain.

Fans are invited to join some of the SWAC ’s best-known figures for an open dialogue Feb. 8, entitled “The Future of the SWAC,” at the Mississippi Sports Hall of Fame & Museum in Jackson.

The event is free and open to the public although seating is limited. Doors open at 6 p.m. with the program beginning promptly at 6:30.

Among those committed to attend are Marino Casem and W.C. Gorden, the winningest football coaches at Alcorn State University and Jackson State University, respectively; current Mississippi Valley State University athletic director Donald Ray Sims; current Jackson State golf coach Eddie Payton; and former Mississippi Valley and current Hampton University athletic director Lonza Hardy.
