North Carolina A&T–North Carolina Central rivalry North Carolina A&T Aggies North Carolina Central Eagles The North Carolina A&T–North Carolina Central rivalry, also known as the Aggie–Eagle rivalry, the A&T–NCCU rivalry, and other similar variations is an ongoing series of athletic competitions between North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University and North Carolina Central University, both of which are located in North Carolina.
The intensity of the rivalry is driven by the proximity of the two schools, as both are only 55 miles apart via U.S. Interstate 85, the size of the two schools, as North Carolina A&T is the largest Historically Black College and University in the state and North Carolina Central is the second largest, and the fact that both schools are competing for many of the same students and athletes. Fans of Both Universities tend to place great emphasis on this rivalry

# Neutral SiteThe most prominent sport in the rivalry is football. The two teams have been competing against each other since 1924. The series between the two schools began with the inaugural game ending in a 13-13 tie. Since 1924, the rivalry game has shifted from North Carolina Central and North Carolina A&T's respective campuses. Under the leadership of coach Lonnie P. Byarm, the Aggies began a 4 game winning streak that lasted between 1925 and 1928. The 1930s saw a balance of power in the series as the Eagles, led by head coaches Bryd D. Crudup (1929–1931) and Leo Townsend (1932–1935), would even out the series at 4 wins, 4 losses, and 1 tie, by the end of the 1933 season.
A fight during the 1950s compelled the game to be moved to Wallace Wade Stadium on the campus of Duke University. It was at Wallace Wade, that a man drove his car onto the field during the game and parked at the 50-yard line.[1] The series record stands right now with the Aggies of North Carolina A&T leading with a 45-32-5 record winning 15 of the last 20 meetings with the Eagles.
