Will take effect in 2021.
Will be a future multiple bid conference.
A&T and Hampton, which left the MEAC in 2017, would be the only two HBCUs in the Big South.
The Big South is an FCS league that also has three associate members — Monmouth, Kennesaw State and North Alabama — for football only. A&T would give the league nine football teams.
The move would end A&T’s affiliation with the Celebration Bowl, which matches the champions of the MEAC and SWAC and serves as a de facto black college football national championship game. The Aggies have won four of the first five Celebration Bowls, including the last three in a row.
