Football Game Over But Coming Back

Late in 2014, I pointed out that the University of Alabama at Birmingham ended its football program. Its comeback is planned for 2017.

Wikipedia's list of defunct college football teams.

The Paul Quinn farm is still around.

Football Game Over?

As I noted late last year, a small Dallas-based college, Paul Quinn College, ended its football program because it was a drain on its finances. The remarkable thing about this story was that Paul Quinn converted the football field into an organic farm. Paul Quinn would not be the last college to disestablish its football team. The University of Alabama at Birmingham Blazers football team has played its last season. Boosters may kick in enough money to keep the team kicking, but this may be a sign of the slow ebb of college football.
