WASHINGTON, D.C. - Following the game on Friday, November 15, against North Carolina Central University, a confrontation arose between our teams. What began as a competitive rivalry escalated into an unfortunate incident, heightened by a charged environment and unforeseen circumstances that delayed our team's timely return to the locker room to prepare for departure." 

"This incident does not reflect the values of Howard University. Our football program is rooted in respect, sportsmanship, fairness, and pride. We expect our student-athletes to embody these principles, even under challenging circumstances. We are committed to a thorough review of this matter and will take appropriate steps to address any unsportsmanlike conduct by our student-athletes.
