The game sometimes served as a de facto championship game, depending on the record of the participating teams. The game was played late in the season, with Florida A&M inviting another top black team as its opponent.In its second incarnation, the Classic returned in 2021. That season, Florida A&M played Jackson State in a season opening game at Hard Rock Stadium in September. The game has continued as an annual early-season contest between those two programs.
