Ever hear of the Huskies of Northeastern? If not, it’s going to stay that way.

Northeastern University is dropping its football program after 74 years, saying it’s too expensive to maintain.President Joseph Aoun and the board of trustees endorsed the move Friday after a two-year review of the Boston school’s sports programs by athletic director Peter Roby.

The Huskies played in the Subdivision (1-AA) and have had 6 straight losing seasons, giving credence to the reasoning for disbanding the program. Why continue what you suck at?

While this news will probably be passed over, shrugged off and generally not cared about, you have to feel bad for the players and coaches who committed themselves (albeit not very well, apparently) to the program.

Damn you, economy!
