Non-revenue football is not doomed if there is support at a school. I teach part-time at a small Catholic university which is adding football, not dropping it, because they see the opportunities it provides the students. It can be done.

O agree. Of course it can be done. This is a knee jerk reaction to the recession. Very little though or weight has be given to the long term repercussions. or to mthe student-athletes for tat matter. Maybe because of it's size, football wont be missed at St John's. But this will affect the way Canisius and Fairfield is viewed no matter what. If money is the bottom line, then why have any sports or any "fine arts" programs. These are "institutions of learning" and are suppose to forster opportunities for the growth and experiences of the young people of our society. Are we becoming a society that is just a "bottom line" shell?
