Both schools recently signed off on a 10-year football schedule agreement to ensure that these two teams will continue to battle it out on the football field for years to come. In a statement on the schedule update, NCCU Athletic Director, Dr. Ingrid Wicker McCree said, “I want to thank our colleagues at North Carolina A&T State University for partnering with us on this agreement. This game is one of the highlights of every football season for our student-athletes, alumni, and fans, so we are excited to be able to guarantee that we will meet our in-state rival on the gridiron for the next ten years.” The schedule agreement comes after NCAT announced that it would be leaving the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) starting next fall.
