The Georgia Southern Eagles have added the Morgan State Bears to their 2022 football schedule, FBSchedules.com has learned.

Georgia Southern will host Morgan State at Paulson Stadium in Statesboro on Sept. 3, 2022. The Eagles will pay the Bears a $320,000 guarantee for the game, according to a copy of the contract obtained from Georgia Southern University via a state open records request.

Morgan State is a member of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) in the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). The Bears finished the 2018 season 4-7 overall and 3-4 in MEAC play.
