I wonder how much longer they will allow Vanderbilt in the SEC?

It is time for Stanford and Cal to follow the once famed U. of Chicago into football oblivion.

The first Heisman Trophy winner was from the U of Chicago, Jay Berwanger.

Carnegie Tech (now Carnegie Mellon) also used to be a football powerhouse, as was Fordham too.

I would argue the Cal and Stanford have a much longer and deeper football tradition of any of the schools mentioned above.

Correct the U of C football team was part of the big ten and coached for many years by Amos Alonzo Stagg. The term “Monsters of the Midway,” referred to the U of C Marrons not the Chicago Bears.
