The list of colleges moving away from college football is growing, with another Division I conference planning its fall season.

According to Steven Gaither of HBCUGameday.com, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference has decided that it will not play football in 2020.

The conference of historically black colleges and universities would join the Ivy League and the Patriots League to cancel football for the fall. All three are members of the FCS level of Division I.

MEAC includes Bethune-Cookman, Delaware, Florida A&M, Howard, Morgan State, Norfolk State, North Carolina A&T, North Carolina Central and South Carolina State.

North Carolina A&T and Florida A&M players have already tested positive for COVID-19 since returning to campus for training sessions in July.
