Submitted in the Senate, considered, and agreed to without amendment and with a preamble by Unanimous Consent. (consideration: CR S1038 ; text: CR S1043)
This Senate resolution congratulates Jackson State University's football team for winning the 2024 Celebration Bowl on December 14, 2024, defeating South Carolina State University 28-7. The Celebration Bowl is considered the national championship game for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), played annually between the champions of the Southwestern Athletic Conference and Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference. The Jackson State Tigers finished the 2024 season with a 12-2 record under head coach T.C. Taylor, who was named conference coach of the year, and this marked the program's first-ever Celebration Bowl victory. The resolution recognizes the team's achievement and requests that copies be sent to the university president, athletic director, and head coach, but involves no funding or implementation timeline since it is a ceremonial congratulatory measure.
