Once again, one team must go forth and respectably represent all hbcus on the battlefield. Standing toe to toe the the FCS elite and the downtrodden of FBS. One team, and one team alone is fit to be called for this monumental task.
This team shall say "put the ball down, let's play" and thereafter state "tell them bring me my money."

I agree, money is important, but your brand is more important. We're traveling to Charleston, Liberty, and NDSU, is it to be assumed that Charleston and Liberty will give us return games? I don't really see us utilizing our leverage to get these schools to come to us first and then we return the game to them. I'd rather pay CIAA teams to come to Aggie Stadium, that's investing in our communities. Do you think there is room to do both?

lol. Schedule reminds me of the old "give us Liberty, then give us death" quote I made when we played Liberty in the NCAAs and then met up with Louisville in the next round.

A&T adds national champion North Dakota State to 2020 football schedule By Jeff Mills jeff.mills@greensboro.com 28 min ago
GREENSBORO — N.C. A&T has added a heavyweight to its football schedule. The Aggies will travel to Fargo on Sept. 19, 2020, to take on North Dakota State in the 19,000-seat Fargodome. The Bison have won seven of the last eight NCAA national titles in the Football Championship Subdivision, including the last two in a row. “We’ve been in conversations with them for several years to see if we can make this game happen,” A&T athletics director Earl Hilton said. “… We’re under no illusions of who we’re facing. We’re excited about the chance to roll the ball out and see what we can do.” A&T is 22-2 over the last two seasons with back-to-back victories in the Celebration Bowl and two black college national championships.

So lets not assume the band is going to be there until we get word from the band themselves they're making the trip. From what I just learned, Dr. Ruff found out the game via Facebook and he may not have been involved in the negotiations, which apparently happens all of the time. Based on what I read on this site, NDS will provide funds to bring the band. And if that's true, I doubt seriously if Dr. Ruff will pass up that invitation. Plus if North Dakota State is putting up money for the band, they want our band to show up and perform. Unlike ECU that did everything they could to keep the BGMM off their field.
