It's real simple. The leadership of the University believes that the move to the Big South is best for the student-athletes and the University. The fans are being asked to accept this decision. A&T will play a few HBCUs each year but things will be different.
There is no turning back now.

Hopefully Elizabeth City State University can get in the mix.

I have one question about schools moving to the big south. Why is the move not discussed with the school’s supporters and public before it is made? Hampton’s move was a total mess, and A&T’s move is not any better.
Why are things so undercover? Are the schools doing thing that may not be in the best interest of the groups they do not speak with? When you look at Hampton’s situation with scheduling, and lost of interest in their games, why would any other school want to be put in that situation?
Come on man, are you serious? You can’t make decisions like this in the open public.
Hell, we would still be in the CIAA if we had discussed creating the MEAC 50 years ago.
Hampton's conference exit was a complete mess because they announced they were leaving the MEAC in less than eight months, wanted to continue playing a MEAC schedule following their departure including competing for conference championships, got pissed when the MEAC would not oblige their request, and then had the nerve to take their feud with the conference public. Our departure from the MEAC is planned out, not rushed, and gives everyone time to properly prepare.
I’m not going to front; the news of this move is shocking, and I think it is a gutsy move by our leadership especially considering the historic and significance of N.C. A & T being a founding, full participant in all sports, and never wavering member of the MEAC. Time will tell if this gamble pays off. I am optimistic because 1.) our leadership (specifically our Board of Trustees, Chancellor, and Athletic Director) have proven to be successful with other measures that continue to transform the university and move us forward. 2.) Our athletic department have sustaining winning programs in the majority of the MEAC sports in which we compete. I don’t see this move in no way as N.C. A & T snubbing the MEAC or “selling out” HBCUs and Black culture. Knowing our leadership, the Big South is just the first step to transitioning our athletic programs to eventually a higher competitive conference at the FBS level.
Why would we go FBS if we don't want students to travel more than necessary?
It would be a regional FBS conference. Such as the Sunbelt.
The Sun Belt Conference has 6 teams west of the Mississippi River. But I guess money won't be an issue at that point. All of our teams will fly to games.
Maybe we would have divisions
The Sunbelt already has divisions. On the East division they have Georgia State , Georgia Southern , Coastal Carolina, App State and Troy.
The main thing would be the bowl tie ins and the conference payout from bowl season. 10 schools split 17.2 million in 2018 or 1.7 million per school.

Sun Belt Bowl Ties, Affiliations
Highest-ranked champion from the AAC, C-USA, MAC, MW & Sun Belt will play in a New Year’s Six bowl.
The Sun Belt doesn’t have a true pecking order after the champion goes to the New Orleans Bowl. The bowl match ups are based on best possible games and geography.
1. R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl vs. Mountain West
2. Dollar General Bowl vs. MAC
3. Raycom Media Camellia Bowl vs. MAC
4. AutoNation Cure Bowl vs. American Athletic
5. NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl vs. Mountain West
I'm worried about the nonrevenue sports travel.
