Morris Brown College, an historically Black college in Atlanta, GA, announced the suspension of all its intercollegiate athletic teams in May 2003; the school was in the midst of a financial crisis and had lost its accreditation earlier in the year. The football team had recently moved to NCAA Division I-AA where it competed as an independent team; prior to then the team was a longtime member of NCAA Division II and the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. "Wolverines" was the team nickname.
