Fall season delayed[]

On August 12, 2020, Gulf South Conference postponed fall competition for several sports due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] A few months later in November, the conference announced that there will be no spring conference competition in football.[3] Teams that opt-in to compete would have to schedule on their own.

The Hawks scheduled four official games in spring 2021 for the 2020 season.[4]
