That is 4 schools that dropped football in the last few months. Only one of them closed down now.

Thanks for the report.

Ugh, I hate moving teams to the graveyard!

I have a picture of one of their helmets from a couple of years ago when they played Drake. I hope you got my update on Drake's current helmet.

For schools like the 2 NJCAAs? They are in a very sparsely populated areas that do not have the support.

Cincinnati Christian and Jacksonville are in large populated areas and they still could not get the support.

You did not update former USCAA school Ohio-Midwestern College now Ohio-Midwestern University. They had football, but also shut down after losing their accreditation. That is two schools in the same down that had college football that shut down. The last year was 2014 for Ohio-Midwestern College. The next year they lost their accreditation and booted from the USCAA.

It's unfortunate, but Jacksonville did something very cool in the process, giving their players (the team is non-scholarship) full scholarships as compensation for shutting their team down.
