I agree about Football- the fact that we were ranked 14th in the nation for Div 1-AA mid major goes to show you how thin the caliber of play is...It does seem somewhat short-sighted that we would "can" a program after only 6 years of play but I can understand the rational.....I still hold on to the fact that we could be in the top 15-20 in the nation for hockey but I guess that is just not in the grand plan for FU......both programs are dissappointing that they will no longer exist on the d-1 level....I know that hockey has not been that good for years but I think that is the fault of the school's neglect for the program....even if we made it a tier 2 program we would have a shot at some national recognition...I think this will hurt us when compared to the BC's and Villanova's type schools....we pull from the same HS talent- we should be able to field a team.....I also don't understand why there wasn't an alumni appeal for the programs...i.e. "save hockey or football"...maybe I'm living in a bubble but that to me would be a last ditch effort before each program was dropped...oh yeah- sloppy game tonight vs. the Griff's but take the W and lets's move on- we need to play better if we plan on having a shot at winning the MAAC tourney...Go Stags! Beat Niagara!

GOSTAGS,

I agree that Football and/or Hockey needed to be a Tier 2 level sport in order for them to succeed.

But even if Football stayed at the lowest of low level Football, were the Alumni asked about the decision to drop Football?????? Would the Alumni have given to the cause of saving Football?????

Since the decision was a Finanacial decision, whay not have a 5M Capital Campaign to raise money for Football?????
