Eastern Michigan students and faculty advocate ceasing football operations

From FBS to FCS, EMU constituents have recommended the nuclear football option of dropping down in competition to potentially save money.

For once, the lead story in MIdAmerican Conference athletics news is about the Eastern Michigan Eagles. Like usual, it's negative, pretty bleak, and not the greatest thing to open up as a new football season dawns. Been keeping up with the financial news of college sports, lately? If not, you should. When the numbers came out it was assumed it would be but a matter of time until university administrators and faculty began their bemoaning of the boorish brutish athletes and how they were far too expensive and uncivilized for the academics of the world.
