According to a Philadelphia Inquirer article, LaSalle is dropping its non-scholarship football program. For those of you who didn’t know LaSalle had a football team, you haven’t missed anything. They were 0-10 this past season and that was in Division I-AA. Whenever the prefix “sub” is attached to the level of play your athletic teams participate at, you know you’re in trouble, as with the case with La Salle Explorer’s Football Championship Subdivision.
So, that means Temple, Penn and Villanova are left to represent Philly collegiate football. Villanova can boast graduating Brian Westbrook but hasn’t done anything noteworthy since and Penn hasn’t mattered since the Ivy League stopped mattering. Yes, my friends, it is up to Al Golden, the Owls and TU football.
