List of defunct Division I football teams


Interesting list of previous schools who once hosted a D-1 football program. Would love to see a few of these come back to life. Most notably The University of Chicago who once was a dominant force in College Football as well as DePaul. If Temple has a team DePaul certainly should...Enjoy...
