For example, one of the league's teams, Jackson State, thought it had wrapped up the conference football crown last year with a 5-0-2 record. That, however, was changed when the SWAC Council of Presidents decreed that Grambl ing -- which earlier had been ruled ineligible for the championship - nevertheless deserved the crown because of its 6-0-1 record. The presidents declared Grambling the champion. There have been other such incidents in the SWAC, though not as major. In 1977, Alcorn faced Jackson State in a football game, me 5.

Though most of the disturbing happenings in the SWAC are minor, they detract from what is regarded as one of the finest athletic conferences in the country. As far as football is concerned, the SWAC reads like a who's who among smaller colleges. Grambling is nationally known and so is Jackson State.

Mississippi Valley was even prominently featured in Sports Illustrated recently because of its star receiver, Jerry Rice. Fortunately, the SWAC has been able to Dut its best foot for ward as far as the national media are concerned. Its dirty laundry and housekeeping problems have been confined to media outlets in just a few Southern states. The time has come, though, for the bad news to be shut off from even those outlets. Better yet, why not eliminate the bad situations altogether? The man charged with that is James Frank, brought on several months ago as the league's commissioner.

Despite its shortcomings, the SWAC continues to be a winner on the field, and is in far better financial shape than the country's other predominantly black Division I-AA league, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. It would be nice, however, if the SWAC got its administrative act together. Already this year there are grumblings from Jackson State, which is picked to win the football title. But the folks at JSU aren't so sure about that. Though Grambling and Southern University, two SWAC powerhouses, are ineligible for the crown now, who knows what might happen come November ?
