NY Urban League Cancels 2015 Football Classic

The New York Urban League has informed officials at
Morgan State University that the scheduled New York Urban League Classic
between the Bears and Howard University Bison has been canceled.

The
game, originally scheduled and marketed by the schools for Sept. 26 at
Met Life Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ., will not be played this year.
Officials from the New York Urban League told the schools that they hope
a 2016 edition will be played, in a letter dated April 4 and
distributed to Morgan State alumni earlier today.

Morgan State defeated Howard in last year’s game, 38-35. According to the NYUL website, the game has helped to raise more than $20 million in support of student scholarships.
