The SWAC was formed in 1920 with only six Texas schools. Back then, Texas was considered part of the Southwest, because barely anyone lived in Arizona and New Mexico at the time. More eastern schools gradually joined as the western ones dropped out, while the conference became known as the premier league for historically black colleges. They notably don't participate in the national playoffs, and have some unique traditions likes Thanksgiving Day games and spectacular marching band performances.

And some of the state HBCUs are still not getting the same funds as some of their PWI counterparts of the same size. Also, the answer isn't in lower academic standards anymore than some of these larger HBCUs already have--the academics has to remain competitive or the academic student's degrees won't produce in the job market--most of us aren't trying to get into the NFL and need degrees that firms respect.🤨

When the conference was founded in 1920, it was composted of 6 Texas schools hence the Southwestern name Only PV remains from the original 6 (the rest (that are still open) are currently NAIA schools) as the private schools left. BCU joined in 2021 as a private HBCU (and the only one in the conference)

Like cfb stadiums, they are of every kind, size and shape. They are smaller though, from what I could research (largest one with about 20k of capacity). The place with most top tier HS stadiums seems to be Texas. Some really nice ones. They also have the best level of competition. A common thing is a bigger stadium in the city being home to multiple schools. Like the Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio. Some rivalry games are played in college or even NFL stadiums for bigger crowds. Like the City-Poly in Baltimore, played at the home of the Ravens, M&T Bank Stadium. The championship games are also at NFL or college football stadiums at the end of every season. Like in Texas: they are at AT&T Stadium. In Alabama they rotate between the Bryant-Denny Stadium, the Jordan-Hare Stadium and the brand new Protective Stadium in Birmingham

Regarding your second question, not too many high schools have (European) football specific stadiums. They mostly use the same field/stadium as the (American) football teams. As someone else mentioned here, there are a lot of cases in bigger towns where there is one stadium shared by multiple high schools (often for the American football teams). Sometimes, that gives each of the high schools a chance to have a small stadium/field on campus at the high school and that can be used by the (European) football teams. But in most of those case, it might only be 5-10 rows of bleachers on one side of the field, and there is often a running track for athletics surrounding the field.
