This is a newspaper article that looks back on SCU football 10 years after the team's last game. The article claims that the schools athletic program actually benefited from the sacrifice of football.

 

 

Although many students and fans felt like the canelation of the team was hurting the school, it actually played a large role in benefiting the school. The sacfrice of football aided other athletic programs, as it allowed the school to allocate more money to other sports, speeding up their devolpment. 

The other newspaper article discusses how Santa Clara was an amazing institution without football before, and how it will continue to remain one. The main reason people attended the school was for the education, not for the athletics, and the students and outside fan needed to take that into consideration when bashing the administration for their decision.
