Bethune-Cookman is reportedly considering leaving the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference, potentially reuniting with in-state rival Florida A&M.
The school’s board of trustees held an emergency meeting last week to discuss the possibility, according to a report by hbcugameday.com. The Wildcats’ potential landing spots include the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
FAMU’s board of trustees previously voted unanimously to leave the MEAC, which it had been a member for all but two seasons since 1979, and join the SWAC. The Rattlers will join the SWAC at the start of the 2021-22 academic year. FAMU expands the SWAC’s membership to 11.
