Intercollegiate American football team
The Hofstra Pride football (formerly the Hofstra Flying Dutchmen) program was the intercollegiate American football team for Hofstra University, located on Long Island in Hempstead, New York. Hofstra competed in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) and were members of the Colonial Athletic Association. Its first football team was fielded in 1937, and the program compiled a 403–268–11 (.599) record through 2009.[2]
The nickname changed to Pride in 2000. Following the 2009 season, the university announced the termination of the football program.[3] Funds previously used for the football program went into the creation of the Zucker School of Medicine.[4]
