Sounds to me like Grambling State are playing the role of the coward. This whole no refs thing smells pretty fishy.
GSU just didn't want to be the next D-1 program to be beat by this school smaller than Eureka College. IMO This game should be recognized as a forfeiture Talladega College should be credited with a win

Talladega College...hmm...
Do they start a few players named Dale, Jeff, and Jimmie...
Though I'm a big fan of low major D1 basketball, I think the standard / criteria for D1 eligibility should be reviewed by the NCAA. Programs like NJIT, Bryant and lower eschelon teams in the NEC, SWAC, MEAC, etc. are simply not competitive and have no line of sight to being competitive. Even mid-major programs are strugglilng to recruit in light of the fact that there are so many D1 teams competing for the same talent pool. There are probably about 275 viable programs out there that have had success (not counting the atypical win over a bigger program during pre-season tune ups).
Apparently Talladega is in the USCAA, which brings up a tangentially related question I've wondered about: anybody able to give anything like a comprehensive list of the college athletic associations in the US? I've known for a long time that there were others besides the NCAA but I had supposed there were only two or three. Now I wonder if there might be a lot of them. There's the NCAA, NAIA, USCAA, NJCAA (junior colleges), NCCAA (small Christian colleges). Others?
yeah, I did a little poking around for info after I read that article and was surprised to learn of this intercolligate atheletic association called USCAA.
I am by no means an authortiy on anything to do with college basketball but I guess I would have thought that I would have heard of this USCAA thing before.
Also, strangley, the Talladega teams scheudule consisted of 5 games (seems odd) so one can understand there level of disappointment to have 20% of their season canceled.
