In football, as in the movees, it takes money to make money.
Northeastern University saw that pouring money into football would probably get it a bid in something like the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl or the Meineke Car Care Bowl. The days when any team could be a champion ended not long after Knute Rockne taught his players how to dance.
Partial correction at 3:15 p. m. Northeastern was in the Football Championship Subdivision (the former Division I-AA -- now that's a mouthful), which has
a playoff, but as unlikely teams like Rutgers and
Temple show, one can dream the dreams -- of playing in the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl or the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
