No More Football at Hofstra

Hofstra University is going to end its football program.

The school is citing high costs and low interest from the college community.

University president Stuart Rabinowitz says "the choice was painful but clear."

The program has turned out several NFL players, most notably 10-year New York Jet Wayne Chrebet and current New Orleans Saint Marques Colston.

The Pride ended the 2009 season with a 5-6 record. Head coach Dave Cohen has lead the team for four years.

Hofstra played at the Division I-AA level, a lower division from big football programs that compete in BCS bowl games.
