Only if Winston agrees to play in Greensboro is the sticking point. It would need to be much like the arrangement that Wake Forest used to have with App State for years when they played annually at Groves Stadium. Wake being a BCS school never went to the mountain but the Apps got a nice guarantee to come to Winston each year.
I would like to see us get our out of conference schedule fixed for two to four years at time in advance so we avoid scheduling conflicts we encountered this past year.

I received the conference schedule from Mr. Hilton yesterday: 9/1 - 9/8 - 9/15 - 9/22 - 9/29 - Morgan State - HOME 10/6 - at Bethune Cookman - Daytona Beach, FL 10/13 - Howard - HOME 10/20 - at Delaware State - Dover, DE 10/27 - Norfolk State - HOME (Homecoming) 11/3 - Florida A&M - HOME 11/10 - SC State - HOME 11/17 - at NC Central - Durham, NC (Aggie-Eagle) Our bye will likely be in September. We owe Coastal Carolina a home game seemingly also in September. The first round of the FCS playoffs begin on 11/24 next year.

Would've liked to see SSU and Hampton rotate onto the schedule...

looks like a straight up flip flop of this year's conference schedule. i'd like to play ssu, but i'll take that schedule because we get 5 meac home games but not 4 in a row like we had on the road this season.
i don't like that there's no rotation of teams on a yearly basis. we shouldn't have to go 3 years before we see every meac team at least once...

3 home games in a row that is good, but a bye week early in Sept is not good if we are in the running for the Championship. Oct would work a lot better for us.

I don't like the ever other year with four games on the road, especially those four. I guess Hampton and SSU would rotate on in 2013? Instead of NSU and FAMU or BCU.

i hope we don't "EVER" have 4 consecutive meac games on the road again! i'm still very pissed about it. its simply not fair, period. if it absolutely has to be done, every team in the meac should have to do it at least once before the same team has to do it again...

If you go by 2012 schedule. In 2013 it is most likely then not that A&T will have 3 consecutive MEAC road games if not 4. I do not think that they are rotating the teams in a proper manner. From what I can see.

A&T NEEDS TO PLAY WSSU AND BRING THEM BACK DOWN TO EARTH. SHOW THEM WHAT IS LIKE TO PLAY BIGTIME FOOTBALL IN THE "BIGBOY" LEAGUE!

That will come back in time. A&T is still a work in progress. I would like to see a Black Classic in N.C. a likening to the game between GSU & SU or the MEAC vs CIAA .
