There was zero reason to cut football at Humboldt State, none. They had the money raised to sustain it; they averaged around 8K a game, among the best in the nation for D2; they had a big feature on the program in the New York Times, they put a linemen into the NFL. Complete, utter b.s.
Never hire an east coaster as president of a west coast school. WOU did when I was in school, he wanted to turn it into a state school version of Reed College; enrollment plummeted. It took the Pasadena College president to lift the school to new heights. Every time WOU has gone the Midwest route (they've done that often) or east coast, it's met with disaster. Better get that A.D. hire right, too, WOU's last two were there for a total of 6 years. How do you get traction doing that?
Humboldt and WWU erred with clown presidential hires and paid dearly.

It's a big county. 4,000 square miles vs 700 for Lyon County.

It's no worse than Concordia, which couldn't even keep its doors open; Azusa, a fully funded football program that decided to cowardly dump the sport; and Humboldt State, which was ripped off by an east coast president, and now is searching for a college identity as enrollment plummets. And to quote a recent column in the Spokane newspaper regarding Eastern Washington's struggles, cutting football at Western Washington didn't turn them into Harvard, was the quote in the column. So true.

Lincoln University of Oakland had either 79, 92, or 500 students, I've seen different numbers ... I'll go with 100.
My guess is they want to get more students. I find it interesting that a school barely on the radar and with probably under 100 students is trying, and established universities with enough money to run football programs -- APU and Humboldt -- quit. You gotta want it, or you can be a loser and quit.

A good start, only one less game than WOU, which has been doing this D2 thing for 20 years. Can't believe WOU has 9 games and starts with four on the road. I know scheduling is tough on the West Coast, but I hope WOU and Lincoln can play this year. I wouldn't mind seeing WOU play EOU or SOU, but everyone in Oregon is uptight about playing each other. Linfield 25 miles from WOU is playing Simon Fraser, but not WOU ... and people wonder why D2 football struggles on the West Coast.
