Northeastern Huskies football
- For information on all Northeastern University sports, see Northeastern Huskies
The Northeastern Huskies football program were the intercollegiate American football team for Northeastern University located in Boston, Massachusetts. The team competed in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) and were members of the Colonial Athletic Association. The school's first football team was fielded in 1932. Northeastern participated in football from 1932-2009, compiling an all-time record of 289–366–17.[2] Citing sparse attendance, numerous losing seasons and the expense to renovate Parsons Field - its football stadium in neighboring Brookline - to an acceptable standard, the university Board of Trustees voted on November 20, 2009, to end the football program. According to president Joseph Aoun, "Leadership requires that we make these choices. This decision allows us to focus on our existing athletic programs." [3]
Notable former players
Among notable players for Northeastern were Cincinnati Bengals tight end and Pro Bowler Dan Ross; Green Bay Packers lineman and Pro Bowler Sean Jones, Pittsburgh Steelers linesman Keith Willis and Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Darin Jordan, Miami Dolphins Drafted 4th round 1997, Baltimore Ravens & Arizona Cardinals Offensive Lineman Jerome Daniels.
