Lincoln is looking for a guarantee game on Labor Day weekend. They'll suffice as a decent warmup opponent and wouldn't break the bank money wise.

Rather a guaranteed payout would break the bank or not depends on how much A&T has in the bank to give for one game. A&T's payout offer to JCSU certainly wasn't enough to enticed them to play A&T in Greensboro.

It wasn't about money for JCSU. They had already sold tickets for a home opener so thier preference was to find another opponent willing to come to Charlotte. Same exact situation we're in.

So i wonder are we still selling tixs to this game on Labor Day for which we have no opponent I don't think any individual game tickets have been sold yet. Just season tickets. At this point I don't think there's going to be a Sept. 3rd home game unless we buy someone out which could get very expensive. I suspect we'll try to land another game for 9/17 or just go with 10 games.

Besides my optimism was based on my conversation with St Pauls AD that they would work everything out and be our first game. Obviously he didn't know his program was about to get the axe.

Tuskegee - SIAC - SR 2 2011 September 3 or September 10 - Needs to be a home game in 2011. Could return a game in 2012 or guarantee 2011. Contact: Alvin R. Jackson Director of Athletics 334-421-3454

It was all about the money. JCSU wasn't going give back a refund to its ticket holders unless A&T made it worth their "while". Teams give up home games for the right price, all the time. Heck, Del State forfeit a conference game for the money. In fact I don't think A&T was even serious about playing JCSU hence a home game against VA Univ of Lynchburg. It seems to me that JCSU was reaching out to A&T moreso than A&T reaching to them.

I can't believe we still aren't calling TU We are already playing a Division 1AA Power for the 2nd game of the season. You want to play at Division 2 Power for the 1st as well? Let's just call the Carolina Panthers for a game, they won't be playing on Labor Day. Give the guys a tuneup game or no game at all...
