the NAIA Football Championship Series Finals are being played at Eddie Robinson Stadium on the Grambling St. campus at 6:05 tonight

#1 Morningside (Iowa) Mustangs vs. #2 Marian (Ind.) Knights

and yes... there is a live stream of the game

interesting choice of Grambling to host the Championship because there nearest NAIA football team to Grambling is at least 2+ hours drive away (quite frankly... it's surprising that Louisiana has a number of NAIA schools yet none of them have football... apparently LSU Baton Rouge doesn't allow LSU Alexandria or LSU Shreveport to offer football)

this is the 1st of a 2 year contract... so the NAIA Finals will be a Grambling again next year

Really? Why would LSU BR campus want to stand in the way of that?

That is pretty weird.

Grambling bid on the game, and got it.

The score banner for that game sucks. Home side of the field has yards to go with the the down all the way on the other side.

Not true. If A or S wanted to start football, they absolutely could. It doesn’t make sense financially for them, so they don’t.

Seems like an odd choice for the NAIA to host at a NCAA school.

Pretty interesting that they're hosted at Grambling. They have an ok stadium. Nothing fancy or extravagant at all really.

But I guess compared to NAIA level schools, their facilities might be top notch.

I assume this is a good money-making opportunity for the city of Grambling/Ruston.
