Welcome back to "HBCU Legends," the podcast where we dive deep into the world of HBCU sports. In today's episode, titled "Blow The Whistle Podcast - 2024 SWAC Media Day Recap," we have a jam-packed agenda featuring audio commentary from SWAC Commissioner Dr. Charles McClelland, head coaches Bubba McDowell (Prairie View A&M) and Cris Dishman (Texas Southern).

First, Mosley and Steward dive into the 2024 SWAC Media Day highlights, covering the predicted rankings, key insights from coaches and players, and the preseason offensive and defensive player of the year awards. We'll explore the complexities of quarterback uncertainties and an inside look at preseason all-SWAC first-team selections and standout players.

The guys will touch on the newly announced SWAC Digital Network, CIAA media days for various conferences, two HBCU baseball players drafted by the MLB, and the controversial exclusion of HBCU teams from the EA Sports College Football 25 video game with a possible workaround to bring HBCU teams into your gaming consoles. 

We'll also celebrate the partnership between Clark Atlanta University and Harvard to create a new leadership program, Dr. Tiffani-Dawn Sykes' honor, and King Griffey Jr.'s incredible impact on HBCU baseball with the 2024 HBCU Swingman Classic.

We'll pay our respects to the Jones family for the loss of the legendary Jacoby Jones — his journey from an HBCU to NFL stardom and the unforgettable moments that defined his career.

Stay tuned as we blow the whistle on all things HBCU sports and more!
