958, 000 viewers made the HBCU between the Jackson State Tiger and FAMU Rattlers the second most watched ESPN2 game of the day, only behind Florida State- LSU 's 7.5 million viewers! The Tigers’ 59-3 win over the Rattlers on ESPN 2, according to ShowBuzzDaily, was up a little more than 250,000 from last year in that same time slot.
This increase is pivotal as HBCU's continue to gain momentum in acknowledgement around the nation and we continue to see companies like Jordan reaching out to sponsor equipment, while the NFL partners with HBCUs to offer internships for different career paths.
