HBCU's have not found a home in D-3.  Remember Lincoln PA, Stillman, Fisk, Spelman?  Where are they now?

Only Rust is still in D-III.

It doesn't mean that they don't belong in 1-AA.

Again, they would LOSE a lot of revenue moving to D-3 from the NCAA basketball tournament AND being tomato cans in hoops. If their champ can pull an upset, that's big money for the league.
ESPN ranked Grambling dead last today in hoops.  351 out of 351.  http://insider.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/story/_/id/9859613/projections-all-351-division-teams-college-basketball. Now that would be an upset!

You do know that the conference shares the NCAA money, not the team. So Jackson State or Alcorn State or whoever can upset, and it helps the entire league.

yes, I know.  The SWAC is also terrible in hoops, but upsets do happen.  Let's just agree that moving to D2 would be a dumb idea.
