The Southwestern Athletic Conference is conducting an investigation into an allegation that the Jackson State football team had access to Arkansas-Pine Bluff practice video before the two teams played Nov.

Jackson State player mentioned Tigers’ defensive personnel were watching UAPB practice footage in their team facility. Alarmed by the claim, UAPB head coach Alonzo Hampton reviewed the team's video-sharing software and discovered that practice film had been accessed by the account of a former walk-on who was cut from the team in the spring.

Jackson State crushed Arkansas-Pine Bluff 41–3 at home—seemingly clearing another hurdle on its way to a SWAC East division title. However, allegations have emerged that the victory may not have been what it seemed.

The SWAC is looking into allegations that Jackson State football received access to Arkansas-Pine Bluff practice film before the two teams played.
