Due to the evolving nature of COVID-19, Morehouse College has made the difficult and challenging decision to cancel the 2020 fall sports season for cross country and football.
 
Due to the expectation that many of our student-athletes, parents and coaches have several questions surrounding the cancellation, Morehouse College has created the following Frequently Asked Questions document.

If you have any additional questions that aren't answered below, you can email Morehouse College Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance, Deborah Rodgers at Deborah.rodgers@morehouse.edu.
 
Student-Athlete FAQ

A: Yes, all athletic scholarship awards will be honored.
 
Q: Will there be penalties for NLI Release Requests? If so, what will the penalties be?
