North Carolina A&T has an invite to join the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA) and leave the Big South Conference after less than two yearsThe Big South Era of NC A&T could soon be coming to an abrupt end. A&T Director of Athletics Earl Hilton recommended that the school accept an invite to move from the Big South to the Colonial Athletic Association. Hilton stated that the invitation came “unexpected and unsolicited” last November. HBCU Gameday ArticleIs this posted elsewhere?

On the football side of things, do we have the budget to compete with the top schools in the CAA? And what happen to the whole more on campus time for the students/less travel cost?

Potential conference move starts around the 52:00 mark for anyone that's interested.

No. Hilton said his timetable was six years from now, but they came to us. He thought that the opportunity could not be passed up. The interesting piece is they invited us back in November.

I’m so close to writing a strongly worded letter. LOL. Wasn’t a fan of moving to the Big South. I freely acknowledge that the Colonial is a “better” conference. Yet, I have no interest in being affiliated with them. I can feel myself growing more and more apathetic about A&T athletics.
