BOSTON -- Northeastern University is dropping its football program after 74 years, saying it's too expensive to maintain.
President Joseph Aoun and the board of trustees endorsed the move Friday after a two-year review of the Boston school's sports programs by athletic director Peter Roby.
The program's 87 players and 10 coaches learned of the program's demise Sunday night at a meeting on campus with Roby, a day after the Football Championship Subdivision team won its final game 33-27 at Rhode Island. The Huskies won their final two games to finish 3-8, their sixth consecutive losing season. ESPN
Well the first thing I want to say is that I'm glad their final game ever came against my alma mater and secondly, does anyone know what happens to the scholarships of the kids who were on the football team? I assume they dissolve too, so that sucks. I don't really have much else to say because Northeastern football was so insignificant in everyone's life. At least their Hockey team is good.
