It would have been easier to take if they were just honest with everyone and said that it was all about money. But to blame the schedule, the league, the competition, etc., was just complete BS. And that was after the administration lied to the incoming freshman and told them that they were "committed to football."

My child was considering Iona, however will probably reevaluate her decision to matriculate there in light of this. Football games in the fall are a nice way of meeting others and easing the pressure of your first year in college. I am sorry that the university has decided to cancel football. The Univ of New Haven has recently restarted its Football program and other schools such as Sacred Heart Univ have dynamic programs. Is Iona in a diminishing mode as opposed to a growth mode?

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Libra

Someone is convinced they're in the right under the Lunar Eclipse, and they don't care how they get their point across. If there's trouble in your neighborhood, get it sorted out by putting your thoughts down in a blog, or on paper. Don't let anyone, even siblings, treat you like this, even if you balk at standing your ground under this moody cloud. Travel plans may be upset, and spiritual pursuits, and dealings with foreigners or people of other cultures is subject to pressure too.
