Northeastern Cuts Football Program

I wrote about this over at SB Nation. So, ya know, go there and read it. A tease:

The decision was a result of a two-year review of the university’s athletic department in which is was determined that football was simply too expensive to maintain, especially for a team that just completed its sixth consecutive losing season — the school essentially said it no longer wanted to pay $3 million a year for more losses than wins.

The CAA is reworking the entire league schedule as a result. JMU’s final game in 2010 was scheduled to be against Northeastern. So much for that nearly-guaranteed win I suppose.
