Hampton University openly acknowledged it missed a July 1, 2017 deadline to notify MEAC of its intentions to move to the Big South Conference, which it announced Nov. 16, 2017.

Importantly, however, Hampton University missed the deadline due to ongoing discussions with several other conferences regarding potential membership, not because of negligence or bad faith or antipathy toward MEAC. In fact, in full transparency, Hampton University held numerous open conversations with MEAC officials about its plans to move up in conference status, disclosing information referencing negotiations outside the conference.

It depends on the flexibility of the bylaws and if HU was communicating that they were about to roll. Either way, don't think we'll be seeing HU playing any MEAC schools for a while smh

Fred McNair actually is holding it down pretty well. He just hired Chris Cash (formerly Seahawks db coach) too.



Yea he’s maintaining the success they had under that white coach. Just goes to show you that you don’t need state of that art buildings to have success just need hungry players & coaches
