Cutting football is an embarrassment to students, alumni and the Northeastern community. Are economic times so hard that we can only give raises to executive leadership, rather than putting money into a suffering program?

Maybe Peter Roby will now have time to juggle the other half of his title, emphasizing recreation before valuing scholar-athletes.
