2026 Black College Football Inductee Steve Wyche took some time to remember the legendary Charlie Neal.

The @thepivot x @MEACSports for Football Media Day is a huge win for the conference as a whole.
Not only does this expand the conference's visibility, but it also offers an opportunity to introduce it to an audience that may not follow MEAC football but who tune in because of the platform.
What I love about @Realrclark25@OfficialCrowder@FredTaylorMade is that they do the research on who they are interviewing. They bring a level of knowledge that not only transcends the field but also extends beyond it. The level of storytelling they bring into the sports space is exemplary.
Because of this, the opportunity shouldn't stop at Media Day. Imagine a season-long Pivot x MEAC series featuring student-athletes, coaches, alumni & NFL legends connected to each school. And also partnering with us at @HBCUNightly to bring it all together.
Every school has stories worth telling — storytelling drives engagement, recruiting, partnerships, NIL & brand value.
And if you need a producer for it, I'm your girl lol.
But in all seriousness, this feels like a great first step with being creative & innovative from the conference office.
Coach Mike Macdonald cut short minicamp practice today. He is taking his #Seahawks to @seattlechildren, the Seattle Ronald McDonald House, the @VAPugetSound and Doug Baldwin’s Family First Community Center in Renton.
He ensures this team is bigger than itself.
Seahawks rookie RB Jadarian Price will have a lot to fulfill replacing Kenneth Walker, and so far this offseason, he has shown promise. The bonus to this report was finally getting to work with the legendary @HannahStormESPN.
Jaxon Smith-Njigba said the NFL has sent him a new award for AP Offensive Player of the Year with the typo fixed.
“We checked it. Everybody cleared it, you know, the whole team read it, make sure it was right, and it's good,” Smith-Njigba said with a smile.
