Xavier Drops Football After 71 Seasons
Xavier University, a 142 year old Jesuit school in Cincinnati, announced it will drop intercollegiate football due to rising costs and an annual deficit of at least 200000 dollars. Trustees voted 15 to 3 to abolish the program, citing financial squeeze and a shift to intramurals and new facilities. Coach Tom Cecchini, 28, remains considering an assistant role elsewhere after a rebuilding run that ended 5-5-1 this season.
