Through the 2018 season the MEAC leads the series with nine wins to the SWAC's four (along with a "no contest" game in 2016[9]). The Challenge is televised nationally on ESPN and is owned by ESPN Events. It is associated with the Labor Day weekend.[2][7] HistorySouth Carolina State beat Alabama State in the first Challenge in 2005, and for its first three years the event was held in Birmingham, Alabama (home of the SWAC's offices[10]), at Legion Field. In 2007, the event attracted its largest crowd—over 30,000—as Southern beat Florida A&M and earned the SWAC's first victory in the series. In 2008, the Challenge moved to Orlando, Florida after a new sponsorship was announced;[2] Walt Disney World Resort would sponsor the event for eight years until 2015.[3] From 2008–13, as well as in 2015, it was held in Orlando at the Florida Citrus Bowl, now called Camping World Stadium. In 2014, the game was played at Spectrum Stadium as Camping World Stadium underwent renovations. In April 2016, it was announced that the game would move to campus sites for 2016 and 2017 (on September 4, 2016, Bethune–Cookman attempted to host Alcorn State in Daytona Beach, Florida, but the game was halted before halftime due to lightning associated with feeder bands from Hurricane Hermine;[5] on September 3, 2017, Southern hosted South Carolina State in Baton Rouge, Louisiana). The event moved to a non-HBCU campus venue in 2018—this time at Georgia State Stadium, best known as the site for most of the 1996 Summer Olympic games.[11]Nine future NFL draft picks have played in the Challenge. They are Phillip Adams (South Carolina State), Michael Coe (Alabama State), Johnny Culbreath (South Carolina State), Justin Durant (Hampton), Javon Hargrave (South Carolina State), Temarrick Hemingway (South Carolina State), Curtis Holcomb (Florida A&M), Tarvaris Jackson (Alabama State), and Kendall Langford (Hampton).[12] Game notes
Note: *—Score is unofficial; game called no contest with 7:14 remaining in the 2nd Quarter (22:46 point of game), as game had not reached official status prior to lightning ending the event[5] See also
