This Group of  individuals along with Onnidan and Sheridan Broadcasting's Black College Football Weekly (AURN) have provided consistent  in depth coverage of HBCU football for well over 30 years and no one can get a clear picture of an overall HBCU National Black College champion with out looking at the insightful coverage these individuals and networks provide! 

Note: The Pittsburgh Courier started naming the National Black College Champion in 1920 with Howard University (7-0) and Talladega (5-0-1) sharing the honor!

Keep up with the my Talented 10th blog   TAJT10.blogspot.com and don't miss my ranking of all 54 HBCU football programs this season as well as  my picks for this seasons  Black College All-Americans on the Gridiron!
