Senior Cierra Hinton remembers when she attended N.C. Agricultural and Technical State University’s Homecoming football game during the fall of her senior year of high school.

She can’t remember the team that the Aggies played, or even if they won, but she can remember the feeling on the university’s Greensboro campus.

From what i get it was from A&T to UNC. But your right WCA. She has to embrace the UNC culture to coordinate the proper activities at said school. It's just not going to fly. Maybe with the kids but not their parents or most alums.

Our shows are also managed and funded mostly through an outside promotion company. In this financial climate I dont know if UNC would be willing to match their dollar with a promoter. We have a proven relationship with our guy with over 20+ years of shows.
