Rivals
Howard's top rival is Hampton University.  The two schools call their intense rivalry Battle of "The Real HU".[5][6][7][8][9]
Howard also has a strong rivalry with Morgan State University.[10][11][12]
Another of Howard's historic rivals is Morehouse College, more popularly known as the Howard/"Spel-House" rivalry due to Morehouse's close association with the all-women's HBCU Spelman College. This rivalry is not often played because Morehouse is a Division II athletic program, while Howard is Division I.[13][14][15]
A new rivalry has developed between Howard and  Georgetown University.  The two schools compete in a contest called The DC Cup.  Currently, Georgetown holds a 2–1 series lead in the contest, with the next game in the rivalry being slated for 2019.[16]

Notes
A.Howard went 8–2 and won the MEAC championship in 1987, however a later investigation by Howard University and the NCAA found that coach Willie Jeffries used ineligible players. All wins from the 1987 season were vacated and the MEAC Championship was transferred to Delaware State, who had been the runner-up.
B.Rayford Petty was an assistant coach under Gary Harrell in 2011 and 2012. Gary Harrell stepped away from coaching Howard for the 2013 season for personal reasons, but remained under contract as the head coach to return in 2014. Rayford Petty was promoted to head coach for the 2013 season only, in a temporary role.
