Yet another Colonial Athletic Association team has dropped its football team.  Today it was Hofstra University, which brought its 72 year-old program to an end.  Hofstra will use the $4.5 million savings on scholarships and other academic priorities.  Hofstra was 5-6 this season, which got me thinking ….

Last weekend Marshall University ended its regular season 6-6 after four losing seasons.  MU probably could save a little money, too, if it dropped football, especially now that its football coach has resigned.  Some people in Morgantown say MU dropped it a few years back anyway.

PS: I’m a Marshall University graduate, so I can get away with this bit of heresy – or possibly not.
