I attended both the CIAA and the MEAC. Let me say that at the MEAC’s Championship game. I bet there was not 5k people there. So in essence, Raleigh lost money because that’s not even enough money to pay to turn the lights on at the RBC, where as the CIAA was packed AGAIN. This is my feeling and the feeling of a lot of other CIAA faithful. You attend the CIAA and its like a big ole family reunion time after time after year after year. It’s just that atmosphere every time you attend the CIAA. You attend the MEAC and you just don’t get that feeling, AT ALL. You would think, that the supposed more prestigious HBCUs would have a bigger following and fan base to come out and support them, but it just don’t happen. None the less, I think we should of stayed with the CIAA. Not all the time bigger is better.
