Aggie-vation
N.C. A&T charged too much for homecoming tickets ($50 and $45) this year and paid a price of its own.
The Aggies failed to sell out what is traditionally a sure sellout. To add insult to injury, they lost the game, too.
With a new video billboard, a relatively new fieldhouse and a state-of-the-art track, the school is reaching high and thinking big.
Which is fine. But sometimes you can be so eager to change that you forget to dance with who brung you, as they say. Memo to the Aggies' leadership: Don't move so fast you leave longtime fans behind. Or A&T may get to where it's going all right -- all by itself.

The biggest problem is your observation was very correct and it only skimmed the surface. Just from looking at Homecoming you could kinda see where this Aggie nation is heading.
A&T has signed a deal with the devil it seems and are stuck in a vacuum. Making silly decisions like firing Legendary Bill Hayes are only symptoms of major infection. I imagine a close look into their dealings would reveal a great deal more.
Only one person can pull them back into the right direction...and she is busy at Bennett.

Ben, you've left us hanging. Please tell us more.

Sounds like gouging if I ever heard it. I can see an ACC team for less.
For me, homecoming has always been less about the game and more about reconnecting with old friends and eating good food. Not to mention some of the late night parties.
I've never been to one of their games. Course I'm not an A&T grad. But that won't stop me from enjoying a good party!
