The Black Coaches Association has announced that NC State will host the University of New Mexico in football next season in the 2002 Black Coaches Association Bowl. The game, which is the 13th contest on the Wolfpack's regular season schedule, will be played August 24, 2002, in Raleigh.
"We are excited to be able to add another home game for next season," said NC State Director of Athletics Lee Fowler. "We will now have seven home games in 2002 and 2003, which will give our great fans more opportunities to see the Pack in action."
The BCA Bowl benefits post-graduate scholarship opportunities for minorities interested in coaching and administration, as well as developmental programs for members of the BCA.
"Competitiors like to compete, and we're happy to have the chance to play a 13th game against a quality opponent," said Wolfpack head coach Chuck Amato.
