D3 school in Wisconsin needs to raise that money in a few weeks, or be forced to close down as debt is due. They dropped football a few years ago, and with Lake Erie about to close and Notre Dame Ohio is closing, Northland would be the third team to close.

D3 Fontbonne University also in St. Louis who have Sprint football is also closing their doors as well. We will be seeing a speeding up of smaller colleges and universities to close now. A lot of them have football.

More than a few years, I'd say - Northland dropped football in 1976. Somehow I have missed ever looking into that team, but a brief search now failed to turn up any information or photographs.

The name could easily be confused with that of either Northland Community and Technical College (junior college in Minnesota which dropped football in 2019) or Morthland College (apparently a "countable opponent" team in Illinois which played one season only in 2016).

Yes, this one is in Ashland Wisconsin, so there are so many schools with the same name. You have this school listed as last played in 1976. Sadly, we are going to see more of these schools closing faster with a lot of them with football teams.
