But when you see Alabama State and Grambling State playing for the SWAC Championship you just get so into the game cause these kids play with passion, because if they don't they might not ever get the chance to go to the tournament again.

Exactly! I read an article about a team from the SWAC the other day on ESPN.com, and it made me have even more respect for those type of schools. Another example IMO of biggest heart in college ball, are the players who play at the Ivy League schools. The conference does not give out academic scholarships, but rather the guys who go there not only meet the demands of an Ivy League academic load, they also compete at the D1 level for the true love of the game.
