Bethune-Cookman looks to add a new chapter to its rich football history as the program joins the Southwest Athletic Conference.
The premier league of historically Black colleges and universities is a fitting landing spot in 2021 for B-CU, a two-time national champion that has sent 31 players to the NFL, including Hall of Famer and former head coach Larry Little.
Coach Terry Sims hopes the move from the MEAC, where the Wildcats had resided since 1979, pays off in the future.
“Being in the SWAC is a chance to develop new relationships, new rivalries,” Sims said during media day.
