The eighth installment of the MEAC/SWAC Challenge presented by Disney will feature Alabama State of the SWAC versus Bethune-Cookman of the MEAC.
The annual HBCU matchup, which will be played on Sept. 2 at the Florida Citrus Bowl in Orlando, marks the first time that one school (in this case, Bethune-Cookman) has appeared in back-to-back years. The Wildcats outpaced Prairie View 63-14 last year.
