This entire article is just content that already exists in Johnson C. Smith Golden Bulls#Commemorative Classic: "The Birth of Black College Football". As it stands, this does not meet the WP:NSEASONS or WP:GNG as a one game season, per WP:NOPAGE this does not provide any additional context on its own page.

A merger of both this and the Livingstone article to a creation of 1892 Biddle vs. Livingstone football game would probably be a decent idea; the first black college football game ever is probably a notable topic. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:46, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I'll try to make an article for it soon... BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:48, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I assume you mean the first game involving 2 HBCUs? There appear to have been some games involving schools such as North Carolina A&M playing different academies prior to this game, and such an article still would need more sourcing beyond the single secondary source currently present.

I may be missing something, but where does it say that NC State was historically black? BeanieFan11 (talk) 19:05, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
