Rumor that the MEAC will be canceling football for the year today
Howard, Florida A&M, Bethune Cookman, South Carolina State, and North Carolina A&T, are some notable schools in the MEAC.
So a large number of the HBCUs will be taking a hit from this announcement if it in fact does come today.
With 3 members leaving after the 2020 sports year, this may be the end of football in the MEAC unless they are able to bring in some additional members from lower divisions.
Doubt this has any bearing on D1 decisions but many of these schools I would assume rely on P5 money to survive. With all P5 members most likely going to conference only games, I think you will see this begin to happen more and more across FCS.
ETA: This has now been verified and they are canceling all fall sports.
