Why hasn't HIU played A&T over 4+ years?

i think its been more like the last two years since we've played hampton. but the reason is because the meac added nccu and ssu to the conference which eliminated "round robin" schedules in football and basketball.
because of expansion, we're rotating two meac schools in and out of our schedule. it just so happens that the first schools rotating out of our schedule in football are hampton and savannah state. all meac schools have 2 meac schools rotating out of their schedule every season...

Wish I had the exact info but someone else may be able to explain it in detail. Also, you can call the MEAC office in Norfolk, VA Monday at (757)-951-2055 and they will give you the run down. |

Correct. Norfolk State & Bethune-Cookman rotate off of our schedule after this season. We will host Savannah State & visit Hampton in 2013. With the Elon 4-game series announcement, we have 5 home games confirmed so far for next season.

Dang...I was hoping we'd rotate MSU and/or DSU off the schedule. Oh well.

I heard that with the new scheduling we will have a hard time finding a date for homecoming next season. I heard that the only home game we have in October is the same weekend as the High Point Furniture Market. It would be almost impossible to book hotel rooms for homecoming if it was held on the same weekend as Furniture Market. From what I understand, the MEAC office changed our schedule from what it was initially. Has anyone else heard this?

It would be almost impossible to book hotel rooms for homecoming if it was held on the same weekend as Furniture Market. From what I understand, the MEAC office changed our schedule from what it was initially. Has anyone else heard this? I am not sure. However, the email I received from Mr. Hilton on Monday listed this as the 2013 conference schedule: 9/28/13 - Howard @ home 10/5/13 - at SC State 10/12/13 - at Hampton 10/19/13 - Delaware State @ home 10/26/13 - at FAMU 11/9/13 - Morgan State @ home 11/16/13 - Savannah State @ home 11/23/13 - NC Central @ home We know Elon will be at home but the date has not been confirmed. Mr. Hilton also stated that we will likely have 12 games - 6 each at home & away. The 2013 homecoming date has not been confirmed according to him. And yes, the High Point Fall Furniture Market is October 19 - 24, 2013. To me, unless the schedule is rearranged, it does not appear that homecoming will be in October next year. |

I think it is lazy scheduling on the part of the MEAC. There is not reason why you have to keep a team off the schedule for two consecutive years.

Looks like homecoming might have to be Howard (late Sept.) or Morgan (early Nov.). If I had to pick one it would probably be the Morgan game.

With the Elon 4-game series announcement, we have 5 home games confirmed so far for next season. Thanks for the information! I like having 5 home games. Hosting 5-6 yearly is a perfect number for us. |
