that's great that its now official! it should really help recruiting for us. i'm sure a lot of guys who are on our team and who we recruit that weren't recruited by unc would love to get a shot at the heels! unc is the flagship college athletics program in the state of north carolina and i think its good that we'll get an opportunity to play them, especially for $300k...

IT'S ABOUT TIME!! I hope that it's for more than one game, and that they get a series going with NCSU, too.
Good job, folks!!

Hey I'd rather play them in football than basketball. And this is a nice payday and recruiting trip. I cannot wait for Aggie Nation to roll into Kennan Stadium and show our Aggie Pride. Their wine and cheese crowd probably will not show up big for that game so we should be able to make some noise. Our team will be much better prepared next year but unfortunately so will UNC.
With all of the major conferences gearing up to shut everybody else out, it will be tougher for us to get games like this. If we can get one a year with an instate school it will work to our advantage.

I disagree UNC fans will turn out for the game. This is A&T they are playing . They will show up big time. I know some Tx heels that are already talking beat down and are flying in just too see the game. They talk about A&T the way we talk about WSSU "Not ready for the big boys". So lets give them a show Then. But for now lets forcus on 2014.

UNC toomk care of one of their own Bp : I disagree this is a game that had too be played some where down the line. This game is about Name Brands and money. A&T gets 300k right UNC and C-hill will make a few Mil if not more. As for us some were down the line we will have to play WSSU again "not for the brand but for the Money".

I guess I am in the minority because I want no part of UNC for $300,000

We only have 11 game season in 2015 with games on the road with Elon and UNC on the road. I wonder if the return match for Costal Carolina is in 2016.

I guess I am in the minority because I want no part of UNC for $300,000 next year we'll be even stronger as a team than this year because we don't have very many scholarship seniors this year. also, coach broadway will finally have 4 full recruiting classes on his squad. i honestly don't think we will embarrass ourselves against unc. i'm not saying it will be a close game, but i don't think we'll look like we're lost against them either. i can see us competing against unc on the same level as scsu and bcu when they play bcs teams. both scsu and bcu have held their own against some bcs teams in the past and even norfolk "led" west virginia at half time a few years ago. what usually happens in these kind of games is that hbcu's on scsu and bcu's level usually hold their own against these bcs teams for at least the first quarter and at best, until halftime. bcu gave the miami hurricanes all they could handle for a half and scsu did the same against south carolina one year. so if not this year, next year i definitely expect us to be on scsu and bcu's level. i agree with coach broadway, we're one recruiting class away from being "dominant"...

This is a money maker the athletic needed to ensure it remains cost effective.
