Send us a textThe second week of HBCU football approaches with several compelling storylines emerging from an action-packed opening weekend. Alabama State quarterback Andrew Body delivered a performance for the ages against UAB, throwing for 312 yards and rushing for 119 more while accounting for five touchdowns. His stellar showing sparked heated debate when he was named co-offensive player of the week alongside Jackson State's Ahmad Miller, who rushed for 172 yards on just 10 carries.Michael Vick's highly anticipated coaching debut at Norfolk State attracted national attention with ESPN cameras and celebrity appearances, but resulted in a 27-7 loss to Towson. The Spartans struggled to establish offensive rhythm while rotating quarterbacks, highlighting the challenges ahead for the program under new leadership. Meanwhile, Delaware State showed surprising tenacity against Delaware despite being picked to finish last in the MEAC. Their aggressive defensive play and strong running game from Marquise Gillis (123 yards) suggested they might significantly outperform preseason expectations.Week 2 brings "payout weekend" for many HBCU programs facing FBS opponents, with Grambling State headlining by collecting $1 million to face Ohio State. Other notable games include UAPB at Texas Tech ($575,000) and Jackson State at Southern Miss ($375,000). These matchups provide crucial financial support for athletic departments while offering players valuable experience against top-tier competition. In Division II, Benedict made a statement with a shutout victory over Fayetteville State, while Clark Atlanta impressed in a narrow loss to powerhouse Valdosta State.The passion surrounding HBCU football continues to grow, with programs like North Carolina A&T introducing special helmet decals honoring the Greensboro Four civil rights icons.

The 2025 HBCU Football season is here, and it might be one of the most exciting in years! Randall & Arielle return to preview the season and give their predictions on who will come out on top come December.  The duo breaks down this weekend's well-anticipated MEAC/SWAC Challenge against North Carolina Central and Southern University. Will the Eagles leave Atlanta victorious once again, or will Southern prove that they're ready to challenge Jackson State's dominance? Randall & Arielle break down the addition of Michael Vick nd DeSean Jackson as the newest head coaches in the MEAC. As the season approaches, do we think they'll fare well? Is Chennis Berry's South Carolina State Bulldogs still the class of the MEAC? Is Jackson State poised to repeat? The team breaks it down!

Send us a textThe landscape of HBCU football is undergoing a transformative shift as the 2025 season approaches, with NFL legends stepping into coaching roles and traditional powers reasserting their dominance.Former NFL stars Michael Vick and Desean Jackson have sent shockwaves through the MEAC by taking over at Norfolk State and Delaware State respectively. Vick's homecoming to the 757 area has already revitalized Norfolk State's program through increased visibility, merchandise sales, and fan engagement. His $400,000 salary makes him the highest-paid coach in the conference, signaling the university's commitment to football success. Meanwhile, Jackson brings his characteristic confidence and "take no prisoners" mentality to a Delaware State program looking to rebound from consecutive dismal seasons.In the SWAC, Jackson State continues to thrive under TC Taylor despite the post-Deion Sanders era. Quarterback Jacobian Morgan, who rejected transfer portal opportunities to remain with his hometown team, anchors a roster loaded with returning talent and strategic additions. The Tigers enter as clear favorites to repeat as conference champions and return to the Celebration Bowl.The transfer portal era has dramatically reshaped roster management, particularly affecting Division II powerhouses. Virginia Union head coach Dr. Alvin Parker revealed the jarring experience of losing 17 players to the portal immediately following their Elite Eight playoff run, illustrating how quickly program trajectories can change in today's college football environment.Southern University presents an intriguing case study in player redemption, with former LSU four-star running back Trey Holly joining head coach Terrence Graves' program. While Holly brings elite talent to the backfield, quarterback uncertainty looms as Southern prepares for their season opener against North Carolina Central in the MEAC-SWAC Challenge.As we kick off another exciting season of HBCU football, download the HBCU Gameday app for complete coverage of all the action, from conference battles to the Celebration Bowl and everything in between.Support the show

Send us a textA powerful alliance has emerged in the world of Black college athletics. The "HBCU For Us" association brings together the four major HBCU athletic conferences—CIAA, SIAC, MEAC, and SWAC—creating a unified front to navigate the rapidly changing landscape of collegiate sports. This groundbreaking collaboration couldn't come at a more critical moment, as the transfer portal and NIL era have fundamentally altered the power dynamics between student-athletes and institutions.Steven J. Gaither dives deep into what this alliance might mean practically for HBCU athletics, suggesting it could lead to more coordinated scheduling of events like media days and create a "brain trust" approach to prevent predatory business arrangements that have historically plagued Black college sports. "A lot of folks who are in charge at our conferences and our schools sometimes run into people who...see all these great opportunities and they see people who are desperate for money or desperate for exposure," Gaither explains, highlighting how this alliance might serve as a protective mechanism against exploitative deals.The conversation shifts to player loyalty in an era of unprecedented mobility, featuring an illuminating interview with Jackson State quarterback Jacoby Morgan. Despite having transfer options, Morgan chose to remain at JSU, stating: "I'm a loyalty guy... I love this city, I love Jackson, I love the team and everything they bring. I'm a hometown kid so I want to be a legend there." His perspective offers a refreshing counterpoint to the mercenary approach that has become increasingly common in college athletics.As the 2024 HBCU football season approaches—just three weeks away—the community continues engaging in passionate debates about program legacies and classifications. A viral social media post categorizing Division I HBCU football programs into tiers sparked intense discussion about what constitutes a "blue blood" program and whether historical achievements from decades ago should carry the same weight as recent success. The conversation reveals both the deep pride in HBCU football tradition and the recognition that program strength is constantly evolving in the modern era.Download the HBCU Game Day app to stay connected with all the latest news, scores, and updates throughout the upcoming football season.Support the show

In this week's episode of the Midwifery Wisdom Podcast, Augustine Colebrook sits down with Indie McDowell—a classically trained anthropologist and clinically trained midwife with a truly global journey.Indie began her career working with UNICEF's Maternal and Neonatal Health Team in Kyrgyzstan before returning to the UK to complete her midwifery training. From there, her path led her to clinical work in Cambodia and Malawi, ultimately drawing her to Ethiopia.After a year and a half leading neonatal services and emergency obstetric care at a busy referral hospital in rural southwest Ethiopia alongside her colleague Atsede Kidane, the two chose to build something different: their own clinic, rooted in compassion and centered on women's needs.Stories from their work in Ethiopia is beautifully captured in the book With Two Souls, co-written by Indie McDowell and Atsede Kidane.We also dive into what it means to truly commit to place, community, and long-term impact in global birth work.Are you a midwife called to work beyond borders? Join us for our upcoming Traveling Midwife Webinar —a 4-part, 8-hour CEU event designed for aspiring and experienced birthworkers who are exploring midwifery on the move. Led by Augustine Colebrook, and guest traveling midwives, this immersive series will cover legalities, logistics, and cultural considerations of traveling birth work—both international and domestic.
