1892 Livingstone football team

Subject does not meet the WP:GNG or WP:NSEASONS as a one game 'season'. The single game is already mentioned at Livingstone College, and is a possible redirect/merge target. Let&#39;srun (talk) 18:41, 16 January 2024 (UTC)

 * A merger of both this and the Biddle 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)
 * I'll try to make an article for it soon... BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:49, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * 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.

 * Meant A&T Let&#39;srun (talk) 19:10, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
 * A&T doesn't seem to have played prior to this; per our article: In 1901, the team played its first game, losing to Livingstone College. The team played only one game during the 1901 season and did not field another team until 1906. The game appears to be prominently featured in the book Black College Football, 1892-1992 and its author, a "foremost authority" on black college history, said "Before Biddle and Livingston no there were no black colleges participating in college football."
