KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The NAIA announced on Monday that Grambling (La.) will become the new host of the NAIA Football National Championship at Eddie G. Robinson Memorial Stadium beginning in the 2019 season and run through the 2020 campaign.

The game, which is currently being held at Daytona Stadium in Daytona Beach, Fla., will move to Louisiana and will bring more that $1 million in impact to the region.

Will the teams stay in Shreveport and just come to Grambling for the game? There's nothing there, literally a school and nothing else.

No shame on Grambling at all, I'm sure that's a good honor to be able to host that game and all.

But honestly, I hate like hell for the players tho. They go from making a trip to Daytona Beach, to fricking Grambling. There is like nothing there.

Guessing tickets will be cash only because this has to be some kind of money laundering scheme

Yeah this is going to end well.

Maybe federal auditors will start checking the nonexistent books there.
