As an alum, I'm a little embarassed. I mean, division three football (Tufts, Williams) is alive and well but NU Football has been put to rest?

Why not just shift the program to Division 2 or Division 3 rather than scrap it completely?Division 3 football doesn't have a huge expense. Few players are on scholarship. The rules for what is needed for facilities, equipment, gameday experience, etc. is far different from the NCAA. A division 1 football team is very expensive to maintain especially when no one goes to the games.

Fact of the matter is that college football is not big in Massachusetts. Even BC has a small following for a college team in a major conference.
BU cut its football program in 1997.
College football programs are much too expensive. They give out scholarships to persons who don't belong in college and pay the coaching staffs as if they were coaching professional teams. Usually the head coach is the highest paid person on the entire faculty which is a travesty. Do it like the Ivy league and stop throwing away money. Money earned on college sports programs should be taxed. That would put an end to all the bullbleep.
