MEAC math adds up to Celebration Bowl for North Carolina A&T Aggies

GREENSBORO, North Carolina — There has been no league-sanctioned announcement. And there’ remains one week left in MEAC football’s regular season.

But now hear this: N.C. A&T is going back to the Celebration Bowl.

Regardless of the results of this weekend’s games.

“I can’t make an official announcement. That comes from the conference office,” A&T Coach Rod Broadway said Monday. “But by the rules and the way the thing is drawn up, yes, we’re in.”

The Aggies will represent the MEAC and play the champion of the SWAC in the bowl game at noon Dec. 16 in Atlanta’s new Mercedes-Benz Stadium, home of the NFL’s Falcons.

The MEAC’s own math says so.

The unbeaten Aggies (10-0, 7-0 MEAC) clinched at least a tie for the league title this past weekend with a victory over Savannah State. It’s the third title in four years for A&T, which can win that title outright by beating archrival N.C. Central (7-3, 5-2) on Saturday.
