Yep, after many years, and selling off a big percentage of their land, Morris Brown College was able to get re-acreddited. However, after being a Division 1 school with over 3,000 students at one time, it's now remains as a shell of it's former self. The school now only has around 300+ students, even after slashings their tuition rates down from around $7,000 to $1,500.
Ironically, Morris Brown College's impressive football stadium, was also sold off, and now belongs to Clark Atlanta University.Last edited by Eagle74; 03-18-2024, 05:30 PM.

St Augs students were told today that due to a lack of funding, starting April 1st all classes will be virtual (on-line). In other words, move out, and don't bother coming back to the dorms, classes, or campus. This has to be devastating, especially for the school's athletes.

That may be a moot point as Saint Augustine's may have already quietly canceled spring play before this. Outdoor track & field events are still listed but the women's team wasn't at the listed Bob Hayes Invitational meet last weekend. Softball and men's golf aren't being played as already noted. It looks like the NCAA indoor track & field championships could end up as the last hurrah for Saint Augustine's athletics.

FWIW, SAU still appears on the Johnson C Smith and Winston-Salem State schedules, but that's still not a good sign for SAU.

HBCU Gameday has been told it is "99% likely" that Saint Augustine's will not play football in 2024. Additional, Saint Augustine's is not holding spring football practice and multiple CIAA schools are reportedly seeking replacement opponents.

At this point the 8 CIAA schools that had St Augs on their schedule need to operate like they need a replacement game. From what I can tell it looks like Lincoln, Blue State, and ECSU were the Northern crossover games for St Augs this year. It seems like what would make the most sense would be to schedule "makeup" conference week 0 games with teams that aren't already scheduled to play.
For example, Lincoln and WSSU both have St Augs on their schedules and Lincoln and WSSU aren't scheduled to play this year. Might as well just play each other in week 0 and use the current St Augs weeks as byes for the respective schools. If ECSU and Blue State don't have week 0 games then they could do the same and schedule a Southern division school that they aren't scheduled to play in Week 0.
