One of the projects the Sickos Committee on Substack will explore during this off-season is one where we will do a dive into the internet archives to find out the seemingly lost history of College Football teams who we used to have playing on Saturdays in the fall. We will explore universities and colleges who used to have football but then decided for whatever reason to end their football program. Then we will highlight their Best Season of all time in our however many part series called the Best Season of All Time for Schools Who Stopped Having A Football Team also known as the BSOATFSWSHAFT (ya damn right)
The Vidas Field you show was not the site of the football field. That softball field in the upper right was originally a baseball field, and the football field would have been in right field. I.e., to the right of the field you show. Check out historicaerials.com.
I might look into some of these other fields. You can see some of my efforts in my Forgotten Fields feature on jamesleegilbert.substack.com.
Excellent report! Reading it makes me wonder if all the changes in CFB will have other schools contemplating the route Drexel took.
