Any word on where the Principia or Blackburn players, who want to continue playing football, have transferred.  Maybe the question should be: Are any of them transferring?  We could use some of the better ones up here in the West Region.  I perceive it would be a different intensity to football than to which they are familiar.  The schools in the IIAC, MIAC, and WIAC take their football quite seriously.  For some of the players that might be a welcomed change.

      All but maybe   3 players have  or are transfering. Several are  going to MacMurry. 1 or 2 Followed  Asst. Coach  to his new head coaching job in MO.(St Joe i think). Others to bigger schools (not as player's).

    Several past alum's & benifacters have changed there wills, and or pulled back promised money to the school ,over the last 6 month's. Because of the actions by the President,(not just cutting football).
  The college has had to hire a new person to try and raise money and change people's minds on not giving.

   I wish the board would wake up and get a new President. If they did I am sure the donations would start flowing in.

I heard a rumor that MacMurray may be closing the whole school.

I heard a rumor that MacMurray may be closing the whole school. 

That would, indeed, be tragic.  BTW, check out the latest article on the main front page of this website - Colorado College drops football.  Shocking and sad, although, perhaps in reality not surprising.  Hopefully, MacMurray can remain viable and also maintain their fb program.  Keep us posted on what you may hear in the near future.

The article says that Pricipia and MacMurray dropped football but should read blackburn. Pat know something more than hes allowed to say?

[Pat Coleman]

No, other than it's already fixed.

I have heard the MacMurray rumors for a couple years now and I think I had them on the brain.

[theoneandonly]

mac_7_sever, I have heard that too for the past couple of years actually
