Inclement Weather Pushes NCAT-FAMU Football Game to Sunday

NORFOLK, Va., Oct. 18, 2019—Due to the effects of potential Tropical Storm Nestor, the North Carolina A&T State-Florida A&M football game to be played at Bragg Memorial Stadium has been rescheduled for 2 p.m. on Sunday.
 
The storm is forecast to pass over the panhandle of Florida – including Tallahassee – Friday night and into Saturday.
 
“The well-being and safety of our student-athletes is of utmost importance,” MEAC Commissioner Dr. Dennis E. Thomas said. “I appreciate both North Carolina A&T State University and Florida A&M University for their willingness to adjust their schedules in the face of potentially dangerous conditions.”
