There are unique challenges associated with running a football program at the FCS level. Those challenges have generally been more acute at the nation's historically black colleges and universities. But there aren't many programs that can say that they've faced the challenges Southern faces entering 2015. The Jaguars put together a solid 9-4 campaign in 2014. However, because of sanctions related to prior APR-related issues the school was barred from conducting spring practice this year. So, when the Jags convened recently to begin fall camp it was the first time the group had done so in a formal manner since last December.
