It was reported that the Morehouse football players were entering the handshake line between the two basketball games.

Furthermore, Tuskegee athletic director Reginald Ruffin said that his head coach was trying to ensure safety protocols were being met, especially considering the rivalry between the two schools.

"You got to intermingle football players shaking hands with the team," Ruffin said. "You don’t do that…that’s a security breach."
