Since we headed 2 Week 1 of the season, check this topic.....of All 10 SWAC bands, and any other HBCU for that matter, which ones u think would be the quickest to sell out ( to the white man or be on some other S^#%) or have already sold out and in contrast the bands that have stayed true 2 their roots (at least for the most part) since day 1.......

Grambling! supa fast! They will do any commerical or anything. On the flip side of that. I like how Greggs ran su. they didnt do all that stuff just to get publicity, he turned down so much stuff which let me know that he didnt care about commericializing his program.
The positive outcome with commercial exploitation comes money that are fed into the institutions as well as easy attraction for college seniors. Imagine if ESPN actually filmed the Honda BTOB or these national broadcasting networks showed the entire halftime show rather then the first segment of the main attraction, you will notice how many people or viewers would become attracted towards donating to that band in addition of increasing the enrollment. Besides, HBCU marching bands are the cash crops of the institution unless their athletics program is stellar.
Didnt think id have 2 come back and set this s%#! str8 the question was jus copyin wat marchingsport said but by sellout i mean a band that has done somethin for either publicity or money or both, that has been frowned on in general by the HBCU community...i.e., commercials, contraversial corporate sponsors, appearance, style, anything of that nature.....that u think has taken away from from their prestige and tradition
