HU announced that all athletic events had been postponed through Tuesday on its website. The game will not be re-scheduled, according to TSU.
This marks the second game in a row that TSU has had cancelled. The Southern Heritage Classic against Jackson State was cancelled Saturday after multiple severe weather delays. Hampton (1-1) was able to play against Monmouth on Saturday.
This would have been a matchup of the only two current FCS teams not in the MEAC or SWAC.
