Hofstra Cuts Football Program; Where Have We Heard This Before?

Another CAA school is falling victim to the times, just two weeks after Northeastern’s football program went under:

Hofstra University is expected to announce the termination of its football program Thursday, according to a source. The dramatic announcement, believed to be based largely on financial reasons, is to be made at an 11 a.m. press conference.

We can scoff at a less-than-successful program going under, but two FCS schools losing football teams in the span of two weeks — from the same conference — is certainly concerning. Especially considering the CAA is the strongest FCS conference in the country. They’re the SEC of the FCS.

Not to mention that Hofstra has produced some NFL success, such as Wayne Chrebet, Marques Colston and Raheem Morris. OK, maybe not Raheem Morris … yet, at least.
