Oh, you tease!

A&T has one of the best bands in the land as well....I believe the movie Drumline is loosely based on their squad.

In my opinion, a move to D1A would be a big mistake for A&T. Don’t think they really have the infrastructure, institutional, and fan support. No HBCU has been D1A to my knowledge.

We at NC State mentally subtracted a full grade point for their students wanting to attend grad school here. They are no Howard academically.

Have to wonder if their victory over ECU last year helped galvanize the thought of jumping - but ECU was horrible last year. Seems to me that the HBCUs should open up to playoff invites from FCS, rather than jump to FBS. Problem with that are the traditional rivalry games that do draw big crowds.

Article says that Floria A&M, an HBCU, gave D1A/FBS a try for all of one season in 2004.

Florida A&M has a cool band - march at real fast tempo. They seem to have been on Florida States schedule once or twice the past decade to collect a check.
