When Homecoming begins at Howard University, many people think of football, but Bison Madness is one of the most highly anticipated events. 

This year, Burr Gymnasium was packed with students who waited to get a seat for a show that included a sneak peek peak at the women’s and men’s basketball teams, as well as performances from the Showtime Marching Band, the Ooh La La! Dancers and the Bisonettes Dance Team. Special guest and actor J. Alphonse Nicholson, who portrays Lil’ Murda in the STARZ hit show P Valley, served as the special guest and MC with DJ Jae Murphy.  

Bison Madness, produced in conjunction with Jordan Brand, was a pep rally and basketball scrimmage filled with Howard University swag! Freshman guard Jordan Atkins was blown away by the energy on display, from fellow student athletes to the hundreds of student spectators.
