News: FYI: We have three websites in our inventory: onnidan.com - news, recaps, blogs, black college sports page | onnidan1.com - this forum | onnidan2.com - composite hbcu football schedule
Losing MU, NA, KSU from a travel perspective is a gain for us, they were all Football only schools right? Finding 3 OOC games in the short term might be a scramble, but in the long term I see these three going as good for A&T. We should be able to fill those slots with regional FCS programs and other HBCUs. If we could get an ELON (CAA) and Western Carolina (SoCo) as fixtures on our schedule we would be playing every FCS program in the state. Add to that mix a steady rotation of MEAC programs like SCSU, NSU, and Howard. That would give us the opportunity to further reduce travel costs, increase our statewide and regional influence, solid chances at BS Championships/playoff appearances, and appealing schedules for fans of HBCU football.

If all these teams keep leaving these buildings, who gonna live in the blighted community at the end?
Its funny how we can spin things. We act like we have very little knowledge of America's history. One too many blacks moved into the neighborhood. One was enough but for the Big South to have invited the blackest school in America (NCA&T) was the last straw for Monmouth. So please, stop trying to spin this. They are running from ya'll. This has been the story in America from the start. Maybe you should just buy yourself a mirror.
