Bethune, FAMU kick off new season this weekend

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida - The Bethune-Cookman University Wildcats and Florida A&M University Rattlers football teams are gearing up for another run at the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference championship, which both teams shared, along with South Carolina State University in 2010 when all three teams posted 7-1 conference records.

Both teams will travel this season to take on traditional Division I powerhouses, with FAMU traveling to Norman, Okla., on Sept. 8 to face the University of Oklahoma, ranked No. 4 in both the Associated Press and USA Today Coaches Top 25 polls, while the Wildcats will travel to Miami to square off on Sept. 15 with the University of Miami Hurricanes.

The teams will play each other on Nov. 17 in the annual Florida Blue Florida Classic at the Citrus Bowl in Orlando. Tickets will go on sale beginning Saturday.
