I hope they lose every soccer game they ever play (including women's)!

I coached there in 1990..Things haven't changed one bit since then..I feel bad for the former players who were tough SOB's..The true sad thing is that Northeastern use to be a D2 school...there still are many fine D2 and D3 schools in the area which is probably the level they should have stayed

"A broad consensus developed behind discontinuing football and focusing future resources on programs -- both academic and non-academic -- where the university can achieve and sustain leadership."
- In other words you quit...

This has been coming for a long time. Our FB facilities are laughable. We can not recruit CAA caliber players. With that being said, we were #1 in the country for a week or 2 in 2002 and hosted a playoff game. Hard to believe it can sink that fast. I agree playing non-scholarship FB would have been a better decision. Sad day in Huskyville.

That sounds like what my Alma Mater, Mansfield University, said. Say hello to Sprint Football. |

Phantom, I did not know that you attended school up on the rock. We had a kid from our program there when they decided to give up football at the DII level. It has been tough on him, to say the least.

Hopefully the other schools in the northern CAA don't consider similar actions given their economic situations. There's great football being played in that conference, would hate to see any other schools follow suit.

With average home attendance of less than 1,600 per game, probably unsustainable anywhere in IAA
