“With the rules, D-II and down can come to the practices,” Williams said. “We will have a few of the local schools coming. West Georgia, Fort Valley, Morehouse, Clark Atlanta. Then we’ll have a few coming from out of state from South Carolina. We’re going to live-stream it, as well, so the FCS schools can watch. FAMU will be watching, Mississippi Valley, SC State, Southern Illinois, Gardner-Webb and some others. The mid-majors can watch it online, too.”
