An agreement as a conference doesn't sound like a decision by A&T, but rather one the conference already decided to be important. MEAC and SWAC agreed to match their champions for what essentially becomes a HBCU title game for bragging rights. Something that is huge for HBCU programs. Just as important as when Howard and Hampton meet or the Bayou Classic between Grambling and Southern. MEAC's history in the FCS playoffs is not the greatest, so it's a no brainier why they decided to go this route. With that being said, A&T has a very solid team that could probably go deep in the FCS playoffs this year, but will destroy whoever they face from the SWAC

No kidding.... that is an easy decision to make. Good for the Meac and Swac. You wonder why two other conferences haven’t done it as well. While I liked the playoffs, the NCAA has done little to increase the visibility of them. They should also push for some financial incentives.... long over due.

I always pull for A&T - they have a really good team with an outstanding coach - they are in the same boat as APP, continually looked-down upon by those connected to the "elite flagship universities" ---
"Montani Semper Liberi"
