Hampton, Monmouth and Stony Brook to CAA & now NCAT & Howard

[The Professor]

This is what it boils down to. As you said earlier, it all depends on WHO says it and not what was said. Since "Charlie" said it, it makes sense

It has been known for years that the biggest opponents of the CB were Hampton and A&T and the MEAC board only backs this up. Harvey was completely against it until the time they tucked tail to the Big South

For your information Hampton voted for the Celebration Bowl

 

[The Professor]

NCAT folks done explained this 1000 times lol. I think NCAT, FAMU and BCU made the right moves by leaving.

Not sure why yall keep giving Dennis Thomas a pass when this was clearly

And what you said at the end was the problem. How would you know no one cared unless you put the product out there?

Y'all the same ones that went years blasting the Celebration Bowl when it started out. Y'all really didn't buy-in until the last one you played. And yet and still y'all left the conference for the playoffs for the playoffs.

Did yall want us to stay in the MEAC and keeping winning the Celebration Bowl? Lol

The MEAC championship game never happened because the MEAC never went to divisional format.

If u don't recall 1st WSSU couldn't afford to stay. Then FAMU left for FBS. Then FAMU came back. Then Hampton left. Then SSU due to money issues . Then A&T. Then FAMU and BCU.

Not to mention the issues SCSU had and almost closed. And MEAC leadership just sat there and watched it all happen. And are STILL sitting there

Well to their credit they are calling the CIAA to see who's interested. They have been turned down

Basically we all broke at the end of the day - others admit it and work around it while others will never admit and go further into debt cause of egos

Interesting thought

 

[The Professor]

Another myth i want to break that keeps floating on this page. A&T attendance is not down 50 percent from when we were in the MEAC in 2019.

In 2019 we avg - 16, 927

In 2021 we avg - 12,437

Down yes but not 50%. That 12,437 is better than any Big South school , MEAC school and 9 out of the 12 schools in the SWAC. We literally are 12th in FCS in attendance. So we are ok, FYI

2021 FCS Attendance Leaders

FCS attendance figures were released by the NCAA in late January, giving us a look at which teams drew the most and least fans.

Well, shoot. The BOT Exec. Committee hasn't even voted on it, yet.

Edit: It was an unanimous vote.

Starting to seem like these were all calculated moves from the get go.

Congratulations NCAT! Bonne Chance!

SMELLS MESSY
but is the right thing to do under the circumstances

Kept telling folks the Big South wasn't our final home. Just a stopping point. Now to get funding and facilities on point

 

[Olde Hornet]

Its time for the Big South to merge with the OVC.

But the CAA is not where you were expecting to go....

 

[Journalist]

So is NCAT in the transfer portal or not?

 

[westcoastaggie]

According to the Chancellor, the CAA was our first choice back in 2019.

It's happening.

I wouldn't mind leaving CAA and getting in Southern in a couple of years lol

 

[goodolebrave]

We can't wait for that road game in Maine....said by no one of color.

I guess y'all will trade the sun in Florida for the snow in Rhode Island and Maine. Good Luck

So NCAT left the MEAC because of travel cost…but they are joining a conference where most schools are in the northeast. Ok

That white AD really tells them what to do huh

So sad to be honest. Yall about to witness the lengths we go to as a people to feel accepted and included. All in the name of selective inclusion!

There's no true right or wrong way when it comes to our Blackness. There are pluses and minuses to it all. Plus, I'm definitely not looking down upon what the SWAC is doing.

Yet the few posters on here want us to believe it's because of "travel" yet here they are heading to their 2nd straight conference with more travel cost. But if white daddy is telling them it is, then of course they believe it smh

It's hilarious that our AD the one that's led us to our highest athletic profile is critized all the time but when we had a black woman who wanted to sell blue and gold M&Ms to fund athletics, the culture was quiet lol.

A&T is gonna be fine. Chancellor has said we will be begin to invest more to ensure our competiveness.

Just sit back and watch. If it fails , we can always go back to the MEAC lol
