For the first time since 2016, Alabama State and the Tuskegee will not face one another in the Labor Day Classic on Sept. 5, and the football game itself, now hangs in the balance.

D2 programs don't have the money needed to play this season with the price of testing and keeping players away from other students who may not be practicing social distancing. Also another key factor is the NCAA saying that schools can't have athletics if there are no in person classes on campus.

This is always an interesting matchup. Hopefully going forward the rivalry can continue as a featured Classic.

Yeah we'll be back to scrapping out with Tuskegee next year and for years after.
