Northeastern Calls It Quits With Football

After playing 74 years of football, Northeastern decided they’re going to cancel their football program, which would require millions of dollars to bring it up to where it needs to be. The decision appears to be mainly financial; the football team lost six straight seasons and has low attendance, so there’s no point in wasting money on a sport with no profit.

There are 87 players on the team, along with 10 coaches. The problem now lies with the players, who decided to go to college based on football. The school has said that those with scholarships will be able to keep them, and those wishing to transfer and play college football somewhere else will be given as much help as necessary.
