I have been told that if you do not work near that conference is unlikely you will be a realistic candidate to that conference by those that actually live in those areas or work the conference. Also you may not be fully aware these are Historically Black Schools and I am sure the officials they prefer are African-American that looks like many of the participants (players, coaches, students, alumni). I may go in the future, but from what I understand it might not be the best opportunity for someone like me that lives in a completely different region of the country than the conference.
