Quote:In short, the drastic enrollment problems HSU is facing this fall are compounded by having no football team at the school.

Humboldt State enrollment is declining partly because of no football. The current situation isn't doing them any favors either.

Real good read, basically they need something, an identity, to draw students in and are seeing that Football might have been the identity they already had.

They dropped football to begin with because it and the school were bleeding out:

And it made no sense for them. They are too small for Div. I and there are very few Division II fb programs west of the Rockies.

The school is in a very remote area. There are only about 200,000 people in northwest California, and they are far from any significant population centers. They are over 5 hours from either Sacramento or San Francisco and 7 hours from Portland. Those are the reasons they have enrollment challenges.
