HBCU football classic in Las Vegas has streaming partner. It’s Black-owned

When Grambling and Jackson State face off at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas this season, they will do so with a familiar broadcast partner.

HBCU Go TV, owned by the Byron Allen Media Group, has been tabbed to broadcast and stream the inaugural Las Vegas HBCU Classic, the Classic’s organizers announced Tuesday.

 

The Las Vegas HBCU Classic was announced in January, as Jackson State and Grambling agreed to take their SWAC rivalry to the desert. Grambling leads the all-time series 47-23-1 and most recently defeated the Tigers 41-20 last September.

This will be Grambling’s second trip to Las Vegas, their first coming in a 2002 game against Tennessee State at Sam Boyd Stadium. Defending SWAC and Celebration Bowl champion Jackson State will be appearing in Sin City for the third time, following meetings with UNLV in 1975 and 2016.
