Conferences:
N. Iowa clips Eagles’ wings
Kwadzo Ahelegbe scored 20 of his 32 points in the second half to lead Northern Iowa to an 81-69 victory over Boston College yesterday in the fourth-place game of the Paradise Jam in the US Virgin Islands. (Associated Press, 12 a.m.)
Football’s loss a win for NU students
Northeastern University was correct in dropping its football program, which will allow it to put greater resources into academic needs, as well as other sports. (Boston Globe, 11/23/09)
Northeastern: A team’s inevitable fate
The football team died a natural death -- too little success, too little interest, too little attendance. But it's worth remembering that just two years ago, Patriots co-owner Jonathan Kraft proposed building a professional soccer stadium in Roxbury that could have served as a home for Northeastern football. The proposal ran afoul of
neighborhood opposition and resistance from Mayor Menino. (Boston Globe, 11/23/09)
Meyer scoffs at ND talk
Coach Urban Meyer vowed yesterday to be at Florida “as long as they’ll have me.’’ (Associated Press, 12 a.m.)
Bad news hit Northeastern football coach Hager hard
Under normal circumstances, Northeastern football coach Rocky Hager would have been relieved Sunday when, expecting to possibly be fired after a 3-8 season, he wasn’t. (Globe Staff, 12 a.m.)
To players, decision was a blindside hit
Despite the announcement yesterday that Northeastern is dropping football, there weren’t any protests on Huntington Avenue, and the conversations among students walking to class were not about the team. (Globe Correspondent, 12 a.m.)
A total loss
In the end, it was about the money. In big-time college basketball and football, they talk about the arms race as recruiting tools. They talk about who has a better training room or practice facility or player’s lounge. (Globe Staff, 12 a.m.)
