NCCU and SCSU should always remain on our schedule if possible. I would also bring FAMU back from time to time .

no other college brings more fans to aggie stadium than scsu except for nccu and wssu. our rivalry with scsu is akin to our rivalry against wssu, we are "heated" rivals, but not "bitter" rivals akin to nccu. so there is no "hate" between our 2 programs as someone alleged and never has been. just a very strong desire to kick each other's azz. heck, scsu folks are good peeps. i sat next to some scsu alums the last time we played them in atlanta at the dome. we went back and forth talking big time trash throughout the game "which we loss ". but it was all good, after the game we even went out to eat together. and btw, the last 2 times we played scsu in aggie stadium wasn't as well attended as usual primarily because scsu was "winless" (0-4) and struggling due to financial issues in 2018 and in 2016, we played scsu the week "immediately" following ghoe which is never a well attended game no matter who we play. yet, even both of those scsu games drew close to 12k and i don't think we've ever drawn less than 14k in orangeburg...

They had 9K in Orangeburg last year.

They had 9K in Orangeburg last year. that number has been vastly "disputed". if you look at the video of that game, "CLEARLY" more than 9k were there. heck, even a&t had 3 or 4 thousand folks on the visitors side alone. the stadium was "at least" 3 quarters full, even stevie wonder could see that...

It's a shame that this 98 y/o rivalry is being more or less cast off. I personally will miss everything about it. Whether playing in Greensboro, Orangeburg, Charlotte, Charleston, or Atlanta - this was and is always a joy. The trash talking, the intensity and the camaraderie are priceless. In my opinion, you can't manufacture rivalries. Especially not one as deep, rich and storied as this. As a whole, this rivalry is just flat out good for the Carolinas and it's people. I view us as competing cousins - both from Carolina, both are the same dog, both wear navy blue. It doesn't get any tighter than that.

[/quote What is really Shameful is , that we have individuals within this administration that would prefer that A&T not compete against any HBCU'S in Football at all outside of Hampton which is conference affiliated and possibly Central , regardless of Rivalry or Historical interaction in the sport . I have stated this before " One day A&T will not include any HBCU teams outside of the conference affiliated one's" .

We signed a 4 year agreement with Norfolk and we play WSSU…don’t start posting flat out lies. Do some research first.

"Like I said there are some in our administration that would prefer that we had no HBCU's on our schedule " . You can agree or disagree that is just my opinion. Don't be so CHEEKY it's only a personal opinion .

Don't be so CHEEKY it's only a personal opinion . My apologies for being Cheeky. Where is your proof that we will only play NCCU and Hampton? Your opinion is based off of what interaction with folks in administration?

Well we can’t play everyone and I am sure there are some that are stocked about WSSU
I would have rather we signed a 4 year deal with SC State than Norfolk….

We are both going to need to schedule out of conference FCS Games. It makes too much sense financially to continue playing as much as possible. Our future schedules aren't bad. We don't sellout SCSU. We will be blessed if it's 12k in the stadium on Gameday fbschedules.com/ncaa/north-carolina-at/

We will be blessed if it's 12k in the stadium on Gameday fbschedules.com/ncaa/north-carolina-at/I believe we will have ~ 15K…a couple of factors. 1st home game 1st night game A&T 1st night game vs SCSU in I don’t know how long SCSU is reigning HBCU national champs
